Welcome to The Canford

In the heart of Canford Cliffs, moments from the coast, sits our gorgeous pub with coastal rooms. Our beautiful enclosed garden is an oasis after a day at the beach, with quirky beach huts and tiki huts to privately hire.

Sip, Supper & Snooze

Our topped-up two-night summer stay package. Bed and breakfast, dinner on one night, and two Lillet Rhubarb Rosé spritz on us. Available for stays until 30th September 2025.

Best Sunday Roasts

Sunday in the pub is like a big ol' hug. Bloody Marys, generous roasts (with larger-than-life Yorkie puds) alongside bucket-loads of gravy (well, two jugs full at least) - it doesn't get better than that.

Book Direct: Best Rates + Benefits

Welcome to The Canford

The Canford is a charming coastal pub with 11 coastal rooms tucked away in the heart of Canford Cliffs on the stunning Dorset Coast. Whether you’re planning a relaxing getaway or a business trip to the south coast, our one-of-a-kind coastal bedrooms provide the perfect spot to unwind. Just a short walk from the award-winning Blue Flag Sandbanks beaches and with easy access to transport links to Bournemouth and Poole, our rooms above the pub offer boutique ensuite bedrooms, each styled with its own coastal flair.

Our talented Head Chef Sam and her kitchen team have crafted a mouthwatering menu using the finest British seasonal ingredients. Enjoy your meal in the pub, the beautiful garden, or one of our private bookable huts, all paired with an extensive wine list (or a refreshing pint from the tap). A local favourite for celebrations, we host everything from christenings and birthday parties to milestone anniversaries. And the best part? Your guests won’t have to venture far for a comfy bed after the party.

Terry & the team look forward to welcoming you.
