Family Friendly Stays in Poole

Located on the Dorset Coast in Poole, a short drive from the famous Blue Flag beaches, our 11 bedrooms provide the ideal location to explore from, for both adults and children alike.

Our family-friendly rooms are elegantly designed and influenced by the local area. They allow you to soak up the atmosphere of Dorset with your morning coffee before heading downstairs for a hearty or healthy breakfast. We’ve not forgotten about the little ones either, who will be able to choose from our children’s menu.

Being close to both Branksome and Parkstone Stations, the Canford really is the perfect location for exploring local attractions such as the Compton Acres, or whisking the family over to Brownsea Island to soak up all the nature that Dorset has to offer! The kids are guaranteed to love it.

Little Borrowers

Because we know just how important it is to keep little ones entertained, we’ve created our very own in-room Borrow Boxes – treasure troves of fun and inspirational goodies to keep kiddie boredom at bay.

We’ll pop one into your room when you add a child on to your booking, and when you’re ready to set off on your merry way, simply pack it back up and we’ll look after it until the next little borrower arrives.
