The Canford

Lovely well equipped room with absolutely everything you could possibly want, really well thought out. Restaurant and pub superb range of drinks and food, staff all friendly and efficient. One of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had and served personally by the chef. Will be back for sure!

When we were first arriving at the Canford, there was a lovely lady leaving who welcomed us with a big smile and wishing us a good night and she would ‘see us in the morning’. This obviously started us on a positive. Once inside, staff were all welcoming, smiling and seemed really happy in their workplace - I really can’t fault you guys at all. The bar, dining and garden areas were lovely and well kept Our room was a double, it appeared smaller than it actually was due to all of the big furniture in there. Whilst I loved the style, it did look overcrowded. We were then delighted to see the array of ‘goodies’ on a tray (although did seem rather excessive) but, if we’d not have looked at the welcome book, we would have had no idea until check out, that this was an honesty tray! Never in all my years of travelling have I experienced such a thing and do think it totally unnecessary when most travellers are more than happy with a nice, locally produced biscuit and tea/coffee making facilities! There was also a mini bar, which was well stocked (obviously no one expects this to be free as per the norm) The room was fresh & clean, bed comfortable, although pillows were rather flat. The en suite was lovely but could I maybe suggest a shower grip bar for those of us who are a little unsteady We only ate breakfast at this venue, but oh my, it was wonderful and I would highly recommend. Once again staff were faultless On leaving our room to check out, we once again saw the lovely lady from the previous evening who wished us well and said she hoped to see us again, which made us both smile. At checkout we were asked if we’d had anything from the honesty tray and had the usual niceties before leaving

Just as nice as last time we stayed. Staff very welcoming. Food excellent. Lovely location. Rooms very comfortable warm and cosy Nice bathroom products towels soft and fluffy Not so keen on dogs being in the dining room when people were eating but otherwise all good
