We've been here a few times now and the service and food is always fantastic. They've got a lovely enclosed courtyard area with around ten tables which is great for eating outdoors. They do a lovely all day breakfast, but also the salads and Quiche is great too. Highly recommend stopping here if you're walking down the Cromford canal as it's just a minute off the route near Whatstandwell station. You won't be disappointed
Wonderful tea rooms and cafe! The staff are friendly and happy to adapt orders to suit! Menu is extremely varied and delicious! The tea isn't the best although I am used to strong Yorkshire tea! Fab place to take her family and dog friendly!
We had an absolute wonderful stay at The Family Tree! My now husband booked the entire place for my bridal party to stay in the night before as a surprise and even the private function room the following morning for us to use for getting ready. If that wasn’t enough, the breakfast spread that they put on was just out of this world! We all felt so looked after and really added something special to our wedding. Christine and the whole team really went above and beyond to make the start to our wedding celebrations truly memorable. Thank you!
Fantastic champagne breakfast this morning for my mother-in-laws birthday, so impressed with all staff so friendly and helpful and accommodating, will definitely be back again soon..many thanks 🥂 xxx

We found this great little cafe/restaurant by looking ahead on Google and reading previous customer reviews.
It was easy to find, although it is on a junction but there is a good sized dedicated car park right across the road with a wide pull-in so that works really well! Parking is free.
There is plenty of seating inside and the large garden area has lots of seating in differing areas allowing everybody some space without overcrowding :)
The garden is full of quality planting with a lovely atmosphere and plenty of parasols for the hot weather :)
There are toilets inside but also access to clean modern toilets from the garden which is handy.
There is also a big climbing frame outside for the children and the play area is fenced.
Hubby had beans on toast with two fried eggs as extra. It was hot fresh and delicious - a really good portion!
I had Greek yoghurt with granola, sliced banana, mixed seeds and honey. It was a very pretty presentation and I really enjoyed it - although it would have been nice to have granola in the bottom of the dish too - that volume of yoghurt, once you’ve eaten the toppings, still leaves a lot of yoghurt to eat on its own. But it was good quality yoghurt and served well :)
We also had a large pot of tea which came with a good jug of milk, perfect!
This all came to just over £17 which we felt was good value for money :)
Thank you to the lovely staff who were all very friendly and polite, sorry we had to dash at the end!
I’ve saved you to my Google maps and we’ll definitely be back next time we’re passing :)

We had a lovely time at the family tree. The staff were lovely and the service was great! Food and sandwiches were nice, with unlimited tea and coffee included for those having afternoon tea. The cakes and scones were also nice. Thank you for a lovely time.
Enjoyed a lovely night's stay. The room was cosy with a comfortable bed and good shower. Very quiet at night despite the busy road nearby. Close to the canal so had a nice walk toward Cromford in the evening after we arrived. The highlight was the large and delicious breakfast. Would happily stay here again.
A wonderful find, I booked afternoon tea here for my birthday. After arriving in Matlock earlier than planned, I rang the Family Tree to ask if we could come earlier than booked. And even though they had parties booked in, it seemed to be no trouble to them at all that we went earlier. When we arrived we were greeted with a friendly smile and shown to our table in the window seats. The afternoon tea was absolutely gorgeous and even had some extra freshly made vegetarian sausage rolls on the side. The staff were so attentive and friendly and I cannot recommend The Family Tree highly enough. Everything about or visit was lovely - a special place to spend my birthday. Also, dogs are allowed inside too. Amazing. 😊 and thank you to all the lovely, hard working staff.
We stopped here for some brunch. Really lovely food, I had the soup of the day with was mushroom and a brie and caramelised onion toastie. The other half had the cod bites baguette with fries and salad. Both were delicious.
We stopped for a night whilst in the Peak District. The Family Tree is an impeccably well run B&B and cafe.
Our room was beautiful. Classy, very well equipped and spotlessly clean. It was spacious with a large bathroom with quality towels and toiletries.
Breakfast was high quality and plentiful. There was ample choice and lots of flexibility. The full English was really well cooked with quality produce.
This is a great find and is very well worth a visit. Highly recommended!
It was really nice you got plenty we had the sparkling breakfast with a nice glass of prosecco 🥂 and lovely filterd coffee , staff very friendly recommend this place definitely go back again
This was an absolute fabulous place we had booked in for 16 and they accommodate so well and the food was amazing.will definitely be going back.
Lovely stop for coffee & cake on the Cromford canal. Will come again and try breakfast or lunch. We did not have accommodation here.
A superb location, great rooms ,comfy beds, & everything you need.The service was superb, lovely friendly staff who saw to our every need.The breakfasts were amazing , plentiful , great quality of ingredients, beautifully cooked and plenty of options.
The best feature in our stay was how relaxed and at ease you felt, you were never rushed ,even the checking out time was a generous midday , leaving you plenty of time to have breakfast, pack and checkout without rushing.
The owners are a young couple who really are going out of their way to make The Family Tree a success. I would whole heartily recommend and would certainly visit again.
