The accommodation impresses with quality breakfast, spacious rooms, and exceptional service. Its idyllic location near the beach and well-furnished rooms add to the appeal. However, no disadvantages were mentioned.

Very warm welcome, very comfortable room which was nicely decorated with great attention to detail, good food (dinner and breakfast). The team who looked after us were excellent. Highly recommended and just a short walk from a beautiful beach.

I stayed in The Canford with my cousins to attend a family wedding at the nearby Italian Villa. The hotel was the nicest friendliest small hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The staff were very welcoming and helpful and the service at breakfast was perfect. I would love to visit again sometime and would thoroughly recommend it.
My room had everything you could possible need in it - hairdryer, (and a mirror beside a socket which is not always the case), ironing board, well stocked little bar and tea and coffee making facilities, very comfortable bed and pillows and was nicely decorated. It was also well stocked with toiletries.
It was a short walk to the beautiful long beach where we walked along the prom in both directions.

We were here as a wedding party. Fantastic rooms, very spacious and comfortable. The food was great. Staff were amazing, so kind and happy. Location is perfect for walks on the beach. Close to Poole and Bournemouth, also the ferry over to the Purbecks.

We had a lovely one night's stay at The Canford. Our room was clean, very well equipped, and it had a relaxed, homely feel. The bed was comfortable, and the bedding (pillows and duvet) were so good that we purchased the same brand upon arriving home. The car park is fairly small, but we had no trouble parking for our mid-afternoon check-in and upon our return at 10pm after our evening out seeing a show at the BIC (the hotel is well situated for this being only 10 minutes away). The breakfast was impressive and made with high-quality ingredients, served in their conservatory, which was pleasantly warm despite autumn temperatures. The hotel staff were friendly and attentive, particularly the waitress who served us dinner and the lady who prepared our room. Recommended.
