This is a lovely friendly pub with excellent staff. The locals were welcoming as well. The beer brewed on the premises was excellent as was the food. I can't fault our stay there. Plenty of parking at the pub now, with a new car park. Handy travel time to Critch, Matlock and the Peak District. Located on the side of a steep hill, so walking anywhere is a good bit of exercise!

Comfortable, welcoming, great food + drink

We enjoyed staying there and it was ideally located to give a break on our journey. It was comfortable and clean in the room and the pub. We were made very welcome and the practical arrangements for room access very easy, though access is via stairs. The food in both evening and morning was delicious, as the local ale too. It was easy to get to this location and very near to tourist and leisure destinations in Derbyshire.

Just an overnight stay at the canal inn and must say couldn't fault it whatsoever. We had evening meal and breakfast which was excellent. The room 06 was spotless and spacious. We would both highly recommend the canal inn to everyone and look forward to visiting again.

Just staying at the newly renovated Canal Inn and got to say it’s one of the best value places I have ever stayed, beautiful appointed bedroom and bathroom and a quality freshly cooked breakfast for the same price of a bland generic hotel in a beautiful part of Derbyshire. 20 mins walk to the train station if your looking to go further a field to Matlock

Lovely pub stay!

Lovely stay. Super friendly and hospitable staff. Room was very comfortable and looked brand new. Pub is lovely with great beers, and fabulous service. It was a perfect stopover for us from the south on our way up to York. Not too far from the M1 but right in the heart of the beautiful Derwent Valley. only 2 things that would have made it better (for us)... 1. a little more 'fresh' options on the menu - lots of the food was 'brown and fried' which is fine for a pub, but a few more healthier options would have been great. 2. Move the pub closer to the canal!! We were hoping to be close to a canal to take a walk, but we had to drive a few miles to pick up the canal walk.

Lovely little hide away!

We arrived a little later than planned but the staff were very welcoming and helpful. The room was lovely, very clean and lots of space. The evening meal and breakfast had great vegan options. I cannot thank the staff enough, a really lovely environment! A really lovely little hide away!
