Great one night stay in one of the premium rooms. Gorgeous room in the eaves. Lovely welcome on check in and good service throughout. Food very tasty and extremely well presented.

Excellent staff so helpful lovely food overall a very nice stay

This was my families third stay at the Minster Arms and it went great. Hannah (manager) and Penny (asst manager) took wonderful care of our family. Great service! The food in the pub was also amazing. Very warm and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend the place!

lovely room allthough a bit ackward up the stairs to get to it in the eaves. service good and very polite and helpful

arrived too the pub was ignored by the bar staff for a good five minutes not a hello or nothing. room hot water tap not working and very cold in the room carpets where stained and ripped and stains on the walls. shame as could be a lovely place with some minor adjustments

I nearly didn't book because of the bad reviews but glad we did, had a wonderful time! Lovely room and great breakfast!

Room was great couldn’t fault it bar and food was fantastic will be returning again when working in the area

Lovely place to stay. Very friendly staff. Unfortunately the Expedia website is misleading - there is NO on site car parking. The only parking available is in Pay & Display car parks nearby.

Had to request my room to be changed due to unclean toilet - I won't give any details here, use your imagination. My room was changed, didn't have the same issue, but there is an overall feeling that the cleanliness not a priority. In addition, gappy timber sash windows did not filter out any noise whatsoever. I had the worst sleep for a long while - it felt like I slept in a tent in the middle of a roundabout. I'm not exaggerating. Noise and lack of cleanliness makes it impossible to recommend this place. You've been warned - read the other reviews.

Basic room very very basic. Bathroom good but toilet would benefit from a good dose of Harpic100 to remove stained limescale All carpets were worn and stained.

Comfortable, with good staff .

The lady behind the bar who checked me in was superb and would like to thank her ...

We stayed here to save a long journey home and back again after my fathers funeral. Check in was OK, the young bar staff did this. I asked when check out was and they said anytime between 8 and 11. Breakfast would be in a hamper outside the room left that night. We stayed in the bar for drinks and dinner which was fine. We went up to the room where I was delighted to see a beautiful roll top bath. Just what I needed after the day I had just had. The bath was filthy, with the previous occupants dirt and scum in it! The headboard was stained and so was the carpet. The breakfast hamper had stale croissants in. No butter or even a plate to eat them off. The cereal bowls were wet, no milk for the cereal. The whole place just felt grubby and shabby. When we went to check out, all the doors to the pub were locked. I was expecting to see a person to hand the key to and to give them feedback about our experience. The manager was meant to call me back and hasn't bothered. It seems as though they just dont care when you look at the reiews on trip advisor. I just wish that I had checked, but I was not in the right mindset when I booked!

Difficult to find room. My room key opened another room. The stairs are too step. No signs to rooms. Room was not cleaned Not enough coffee. HAD to fill the kettle in the shower. The little shower attachment didnt work. Shower was too hot. Breakfast horrific. The bed was incrediabkw

Maia was fab. The room , however wasn’t. It all felt unloved . Breakfast hamper was ok, nothing special . No coffee and no one to ask

Was very disappointed with the breakfast set up - hamper outside the room, which was also filled with sugar-overloaded foods! Not what I had planned when taking my dad there. However, staff were quick to rectify the situation with no hassles. Sadly lacks management there to make the place, the once vibrant place it used to be. Cleaners also didn't pay any attention to those of us staying more than one night. Again they need clear training and management. Location is great: staffs were helpful and friendly but some love and care needs to be given. Plus clearly let people know there is no breakfast service, only a hamper left - good for those maybe stopping the night for business. Still enjoyed our break in Wimborne but little things could make big difference there!

Very comfortable, clean, quiet good food. Would stay again.

Room was set out well and molton brown toiletries were lovely. The bad side was the unclean room. Toilet bowl dirty with in grained dirt, a scrub with bleach would have sorted it out. Pillows had a clean pillow case in but the pillow inside was showing and was yellowed and old. Shower was dirty again with ingrained dirt and sealant was peeled. Bed was very comfortable however.

Our second time at the Minster Arms but a bit disappointed this time around. We didn't know breakfast was continental and left out side the room the night before, compared to a lovely full English cooked to order last time we stayed. Nice room, very comfy bed and Molton Brown toiletries, but we won't be rushing back.

Great stay! Really nice place! And the charcuterie and cheese board in the restaurant was amazing!!

The hotel is just a short walk from the centre of the small town of Wimborne. The building itself must be quite old with some uneven floors, a maze of corridors and old style windows. My stay was mid week and the place had more of a wine bar ambience than a pub. Internally the building was quiet though my room did face the road onto a small roundabout which was busy at peak times. The room had a quirky selection of furniture and the bed was comfortable. The en suite bathroom and toilet were modern with a particularly good shower. Sadly there was no cooked breakfast just a box provided outside the room with cereals, pastries, juice etc. At my time of stay the evening meals were limited to cheese and charcuterie but Wimborne is a little gem and there is a wide variety of places to eat.

I guess the Minster Arms is going through a tough time. Breakfast used to have a great selection of Continental and cooked breakfast. Now a tatty hamper delivered outside the bedroom door! Room was OK for the price but had a very small window which made it dark. Various maintain issues in the room. The Resturant is now closed and only bar meals. No body around in the morning and no instructions on how to check out.....actually no instruction manual at all in the rooms.

There was no hot water in the morning. All the guests staying that night commented on it. I don't like having a luke warm shower so this was disappointing.

The room itself was clean and comfortable but we were very disappointed by the breakfast and we had trouble contacting the venue team both before and during our stay. Be aware that breakfast is a few items in a box left at your door the night before. There was a small cereal box each but the milk had gone off before the morning, probably because the heating was on full in the room all night. Other food was cake - a muffin and a pastry. There was no one in the venue to ask for more milk and we realised it is generally un-manned which explained why we couldn't get through on the phone before we arrived. If the venue could improve the breakfast, we would recommend it as a place to stay.

The inn's computer had broken, so they didn't actually know we were coming, but they couldn't do enough for us, even going out to purchase non-allergenic bedding as my wife is allergic to feathers. The room itself was lovely and the bar cosy, with a real fire in the grate. Only downside was the restaurant menu was quite limited (due to time of year) and the breakfast selection also quite limited - only "continental" options and not even brown bread.

Lovely Pub, we stayed here many times and we have always enjoyed it. But our room this time was so small, you walked through the door and you fell on the bed where it was so small. No wardrobe just hanging rail sticking out from the wall no dressing table mirror which is a nightmare when you’re trying to do your hair or make up et cetera. It’s stated on the website full English breakfast. We were informed the next morning that it was only Continental. They did give us complimentary drinks and in all fairness, the staff are very friendly very efficient and very apologetic.!!

My room, which was nice and clean was facing the round about. I had asked to have a different room, but was told that the hotel was full. However there was only 2 more guests! The breakfast was poor.

Disappointing. I used to stay at The Minster Arms pre-Covid and loved it. This was my first stay this year, and unfortunately is likely to be my last. The evening meal was still as lovely as ever, but the room was very cold. When I first went in, the window was wide open (in October) and so I shut it. I expected the radiator to come on (it was set to maximum) but it never did, and so the room remained cold all night. The bathroom towel rail was warm though. Worst was the security light on the ceiling which just illuminated the room all night and was very off-putting, to the point I had to cover it using sticky notes until the room became dark. In the morning, it was frustrating that breakfast now didn't start until 8am - too late for business travel, then disappointed that they no longer do a cooked breakfast - because it used to be great. There was no Breakfast Tea available, and they had forgotten to turn on the Urn so they had not hot water for guests. In fairness the staff did make me a pot of tea and another equally frustrated guest when asked. The window cleaners were in during this breakfast going between guests and their tables which was a little off-putting, and when I went to raise these issues with the staff when I checked out, there was no one around. I left my key on the bar and left. I know times are hard in hospitality - which is why I stayed there - but they do need to bring back a little more attention to detail and reinstate the hot breakfast.

Room lighting was very dark and no full length mirror in the room. No plug socket close enough to bathroom to use hairdryer nesr a mirror. I did ask for mirror but not available Breakfast wasn't served until 8 30 so on 1st morning i missed it as was on way to work. On day 2 went to check out at 8.30 and bar area was in darkness and all locked up had to leave keys in room door and no breakfast was being served even if i had wanted it. Room was booked with breakfast?,?

We had a lovely one night stay here! We actually stayed for our wedding night and the room was comfortable and had a very large bath and shower. It was clean and the staff were very friendly. Thank you!

Really liked the two chaps in charge nice menu room tiny no shelving in the bathroom to put stuff easily rectified surely very handy for town minutes away

Business trip, the room allocated was facing the main road, this resulted in early morning traffic noise as no secondary double glazing. Also the continental breakfast was very limited on choice. Could maybe supply some cheese, ham, only marmalade choice of jams.
