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.

Two-Night Winter Unwind

Unwind this winter with a topped-up two-night stay for two. Two nights, the best breakfast in Canford Cliffs and a bottle of Morandé Merlot or Morandé Sauvignon Blanc to enjoy in the pub.

Christmas in Canford Cliffs

With our open fires roaring, the team in good spirits, the scent of mulled wine in the air and all your favourite festive foods a-cooking, our cosy pub is built for the season.

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.

Six Nations 2025

Join us for the most eagerly-anticipated rugby tournament of the year, as Six Nations takes over our screens from the 31st January - 15th March. We'll be showing all the mud-splattering, earth shattering, edge-of-your-seat action.
