What is the best area to stay in Canford Cliffs?
The best area to stay in Canford Cliffs is within the village centre itself, or along the coastal road for direct beach access.

The village centre of Canford Cliffs is a highly desirable spot, offering a refined yet relaxed atmosphere. It's centred around the junction of Ravine Road and Canford Cliffs Road, where you'll find a selection of independent boutiques, excellent cafes, and quality restaurants. The area is known for its well-maintained gardens and attractive residential streets, leading down to the picturesque Canford Cliffs Chine and its golden sandy beach.

For couples seeking a tranquil and upscale retreat, staying close to the village centre is ideal. You'll be able to enjoy leisurely strolls to the beach, savour gourmet meals, and explore the local shops at your own pace.
