The Canford

We booked The Canford for my birthday weekend along with 8 friends and are so happy that we did. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left we were so well looked after by the whole team. Everyone’s check in was seamless, all needs were taken care of with care and kindness. We had room 1 (Sandbanks) which was beautiful with everything you could possibly need supplied, the bed was so comfortable, the bathroom huge, we really felt at home. I think all 10 of us were impressed with all our rooms. I wanted to pre-order sharing plates and magnums of wine (which were really good quality wines) for our Tiki Hut reservation on the Saturday evening and Zach and the chefs took care of everything. I have to say the food was wonderful, the pork belly tacos were a hit with everyone, but all the food was super delicious – thank you. My husband and friends decorated the hut which was no problem and when I arrived, having been banned from peeking , everything was in place and looked gorgeous. We had the best time the whole weekend and I think we all agreed that The Canford is definitely a place we would love to come back to. Zach and the whole team are so well trained, polite, helpful, kind and courteous, a real credit to hotel. I can’t thank you all enough for making my 60th birthday so perfectly memorable. Amanda x Oh and the Lionesses won the Euro’s too - what more could you want!

Really nice hotel with friendly efficient staff. Good atmosphere in the bar but no noise issue in the room upstairs. Had an excellent evening meal with good service Not cheap but good value

I really enjoyed my stay at The Canford. I had a lovely room, all the staff were helpful and friendly, and I had an excellent dinner in the restaurant. Clearly a neighbourhood gem. Great location close to the sea.
