A pretty quiet pub which suited us well as we had three meals here. Food was delicious 😋 and reasonably priced too.

Massively impressed by the room I stayed in for the price paid, very recently renovated. Also taken up to room by attentive staff. Although it's a local pub it quietened down towards evening and no difficulty sleeping. More like a hotel with a bar in some respects. Would certainly consider again.

We've just got back having paid a visit for lunch. Got there a bit before they started serving food so had a drink while we waited, very nice it was too, with a decent selection of non alcoholic for me, the driver. The food was fantastic, I had the shepherd's pie partner had the steak, both perfect. While we were there they managed to cater for a party of 10 with only a half hours notice. Really enjoyed our visit and wouldn't hesitate to go again. Thanks guys.

Thank you so so much to everyone at the Canal for making my stay the night before the wedding exceptional and the morning of totally stress free!! The pre-bridal suite was fantastic, lots of space for me & my bridesmaids. Really beautiful hamper full of goodies (face masks, toiletries & snacks). Really huge comfy bed, gorgeous bathroom with walk-in shower & separate bath! Air-con an absolute god send! Special shout out to Ryan & his partner (sorry I can’t remember your name) who both worked on the bar at the Canal the night before I got married and then at the Hurt arms during my wedding. The pizza & pint on Thursday evening was great value for money, super tasty & fresh ingredients. Excellent service. Friday morning the day of the wedding breakfast was served in lovely hampers to the room so we didn’t have to worry about getting dressed when make-up & hair started at 6am. Thank you, Thank You again to all at the Canal!!

Beautiful fresh meals prepared to order. Some classic options like fish and chips and other unique twists in classics. Well worth a short detour on the way to Cromford or Matlock
