So glad we booked this place rather than a large hotel in the area that we were considering. The room was gorgeous with a big bath tub (we chose one of the big rooms). Check in was easy, staff were v friendly and accommodating despite looking after the restaurant too (special mention to Ashmi who waited on us a couple of times in the restaurant). Food is fab, especially the Sunday roast. We managed to get parking on each of the 3 days/nights we were there. The only thing to note is that the cleaners only do a “quick once over” in your rooms every morning. Fab stay and will definitely stay again and recommend. Location is perfect. We walked from there to Old Harry’s Rocks. Visited Worbarrow Bay, Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door and a vineyard all within a short driving distance. Enjoy!

Nice place
Beautiful room and lovely food (especially breakfast!) but I was woken at 3am by someone moving furniture around in the bar area/restaurant so not the best nights sleep. I guess it was bad luck for me as I was right above the area where this was going on for an hour so will try another room next time.

Lovely weekend away
We stayed in Room 1 which was delightful. The staff had thought of pretty much everything. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. We ate in the pub and had an excellent roast meal. The location was great for exploring the coast on foot.

Amazing stay
Such an amazing stay at Canford. I stayed in Room no.1 which was absolutely gorgeous - I’d 100% recommend. Lunch was great, breakfast was great. Staff were helpful and the pub had a really nice atmosphere - perfect for my needs which were to be able to do some work whilst holding a conversation with a few drinks 10/10 🎺
