We used The Family Tree hotel/b&b as a stop over on the way to Bath. The place was superb… very clean, good facilities in the room, with a hearty and delicious breakfast. The off street parking in also very convenient. Additionally the staff were helpful, friendly and polite. Thx for a lovely stay

You can see how much effort has gone into this B&B overall. Unfortunately for us it was let down by the heating not working and no one around to assist (the Family Tree downstairs closed at 5pm) No adjustment of the WiFi thermostats on the radiators worked. I believe that the one in the room was broken as there was no reaction (lights etc) at all. The 2 in the bathroom did show adjustment but still no heat in them. There was no heat in any of the pipes so I am convinced that the heating was turned off at source. We spent the evening wrapped in bed clothes. The next morning you could feel heat in the pipes, but still the radiators didn't work. Every time the toilet was flushed (inc the room next door) there was a LOUD howling sound for a min or so! It also didn't impress that there were stains on the quilt which doesn't give confidence that you are getting into a clean bed. That really is a no no. On the plus side the breakfast was wonderful. I liked the idea of each table having it's own breakfast box for the cereals, fruit and pastries - much better than the usual 'buffet' style. The cooked part of the breakfast was delicious too. I've stayed at many B&Bs in old buildings but none with the particular problems that we had. Unfortunately I wouldn't recommend the Family Tree.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The people were generally friendly and helpful. The freshly cooked breakfast was very good. No room service was provided. The room has no wardrobe and limited storage space. The shower is in a high-sided bath tub so really difficult to access, the myriad of tap controls are ridiculously complicated and the side panel is too small so the bathroom floor gets soaked. OK just for just one night perhaps (not the three we stayed).

The family tree a beautiful family business

Comfortable Clean & Tidy room, the only thing about the room is that it wasn’t serviced every day. ie bin’s emptied and fresh water for drinks. But a lovely stay. The Breakfast was 10 out of 10, with a choice of serials, fresh fruit and a choice of pastries followed by a full cooked English Breakfast or a choice of a light Breakfast. There was more to choose on the menu. highly recommend

Stayed for 2 nights. Very convenient for train station. No food orders after 3.30 pm so went to a local curry restaurant by car. Room was okay. But lacked any surface to put your bags. Comfortable bed but not enough ventilation in the bathroom so it smelt damp. Had the fan on as much as poss. Internet good. Breakfast was okay. But found the staff not very friendly except one gent who was great. Parking convenient.
