  “I'm not very good at reviews, but had a Sunday lunch here recently with an elderly relative for the first time and enjoyed it immensely! - I mixed up the booking time (yes my fault) but Katie had it all sorted with a smile. Nothing was too much trouble, and I would like to thank Katie once more for all-round excellence. I hear the rooms are very nice, too! Best wishes and I'll return on my way back from The Tramway Museum at Crich. Thanks once again, Paul M Alfreton.”

  “Honestly one of the best places I have stayed in while working away from home. The staff were more than accommodating to anything I needed, all done with a friendly welcoming smile. The room smelt fresh and clean and the bed is super comfortable! Surprisingly quiet of a night considering its on a semi main road. Honestly couldnt fault the canal inn at all and should i be working in the area again I will be choosing here first. Almost forgot to say how lovely the food was im so picky with the food I eat and the staff really went all out on accommodating my requests.”

  “Our overnight stay at the Canal Inn while on a walking holiday was a real surprise. We had a spacious nicely furnished comfortable room, with plenty of hot water and a good shower. The staff were absolutely superb, friendly and welcoming, and just what we needed after a long day’s walking. We would happily stay here again on a holiday break in the area.”

  “Lovely food but the website gives a different impression to what you actually get and actually recieve. By the dining area is a Dart board and seems to attract some foul mouthed and loud customers and for those with families dining is not what you want to hear. The dining area while we where there only had three couples. One couple left after a glass of wine Unfortunately for us and the next table.next to us we had ordered. While the food was being prepared the language by the group playing darts got worse and the noise got louder. It was awful. However after we ate and complained the manager seemed not interested that a quiet meal with no foul language was in a different language. A simple solution would be to move the Dart board away from the dining area. The manager wasn't interested and probably explains why so few people were dining.”

  “We took a chance on the Canal Inn as we were staying nearby. We have three dogs and, although the Google reviews indicated it is dog friendly, the pub operates an AI/automatic booking system so we weren't able to call ahead to confirm this. Fortunately, the staff were very welcoming and had no concerns about our canine trio being in the dining area. Although the menu is a bit limited in selection, the fish and chips we both had was about the best I have ever tasted. One person we chatted to travels regularly for work and swears by the pies which also looked and smelled delicious. Glad we took a chance on it and certainly would recommend it.”

  “Stayed overnight on a Tuesday in Jan. Plenty of parking, spacious room, chunky solid wood furnature, warm and toasty, breakfast ( in the bar area) was very nice with plenty of options. Pub was quiet. 2 local ales on tap plus Jaipur. Friendly welcome. Bar shut at 10pm.”

  “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!!”
