Only minor complaint was the shower didn’t drain properly so your feet have a little bath!

Lovely room, comfy bed. Nice breakfast basket.

I was up on the top floor and the access was a little tight but not impossible. Slight drip from shower when off, which I reported on check out. Was lucky with parking, just over the road.

Contact from the hotel was good and pleasant. Had a late check in, which was handled well. Bed was comfortable, good shower. Breakfast hamper was impressive!

Last year breakfast was in the restaurant, this year a continental basket. I preferred eating in the restaurant with unlimited coffee and somewhere to sit. I also didn't like that there was nobody there in the morning, to hand the key to or say goodbye.

We stayed at The Minister Arms in 2022 for our wedding and wanted to stay again for our anniversary. The room was superb and gorgeous, stunning roll-top bath! The staff ensured we were able to have the same room. Easy parking across the road and within walking distance of the main square.

very well presented

There was no blinds/ curtains in the room so was woken up early by the light! Also, the pastries in the breakfast hamper were stale.

Comfortable, close to town, clean. Friendly staff. Convenient location. I love staying here, this is my third stay now and it’s always lovely.

It looked a bit tired. Main suggestion would be to not bother with second rate breakfast in hamper and just tell all guests that there are great venues 5 minutes walk away.

Friendly and welcoming staff. Room was well appointed, comfortable and everything worked.

Room not cleaned well. False eyelashes in sink from previous guest and set of false eyelashes behind soap dispenser. Sash windows covered in cobwebs. Fresh milk supplied in the breakfast hamper, however, as per pur previous stay, the room was very warm, so, milk had gone off by the morning. Luckily, we had brought some long life milk from previous experience

Staff were friendly and bed comfortable

Breakfast was left outside our door. Cereal, pan au Chocolat, fruit juice and spreads. No milk for cereal or anything to put spread on. Couldn't find anyone to ask question as door to bar area was locked. Had to leave key in the door and leave without officially checking out. On the plus side the bar menu was good and staff were friendly. Could do with more guidance on breakfast routines and provision as not to raise expectations of customers.

Nice welcome.

Appreciate there may not be high demand all week for accommodation but missed cooked breakfast. In itself, breakfast hamper was fine, just not my preference.

Just an overnight stay. The room was okay, and the facility was walking distance to town. Had good sized beer garden and parking across the road next to a wee pub.

We stayed in the burgundy room, the room was lovely the only problem was the smoke detector over the bed had a green light next to it and this kept us awake all night. Far too bright couldn't so was up early and set off home, early night tonight absolutely shattered because of this.

Nice place good location, staff were polite.

Lovely original pub in great central location

The room floor covering was hessian which is nice to look at but hurts your feet when walking on it, fortunately I had slippers with me. The kettle didn't fit under the sink tap, i had the use the cafeteria to fill it. The temperature for the shower was okay for me, which was lucky as the hot/cold adjustment wouldn't turns. A cold breakfast was served by putting a hamper basket with cereals, fruit juice, milk and a pastry on the floor outside the door. Absolutely NO parking here and no staff other than bar staff. No where and no one to leave the room key with in the morning, so left it in the room. Very disconcerting.

The room was clean, nicely styled and it was peaceful. Nice bathroom, plenty of clean towels, coffee etc. Very comfortable big bed.

The room was slightly tired on the edges. There were stains on the counterpane, the shower was slow to drain & the toilet needed bleach. I also felt the rooms were dark & it was difficult to apply makeup. This said, my stay was comfortable.

Staff excellent & bed comfortable.

Part of the shower was broken, but wasn’t to bad. The breakfast basket was lovely however I am lactose intolerant and was given pure milk, perhaps give a dairy alternative option.

The bed was super comfy and the breakfast basket was lovely!

Stayed in June 2023

I had no idea where I was supposed to leave my key or where to checkout so I just left it in the front door cause I was locked out and the key wasn’t opening the door, and I didn’t know how to fill up the kettle because it was too big to fit in the sink. I just found out there was a key safe outside the pub but I didn’t see the message until now

It was cosy and the breakfast was nice, great location too, Very close to the town centre. It was quite as well :)

The continental breakfast was provided in a hamper outside our door the night before, and was fine, but it would have been nice to have been in the restaurant sat at a table. It would also have been nice if the pub was open at lunchtime, and a more varied menu would have meant we would have chosen to eat there in the evening too. Although the room and bathroom were clean the toilet was badly stained.

The price was reasonable and, although it was quite noisy because if the roundabout close by, the bed was very comfortable and room a good size.

No biscuits! A continental breakfast delivered to room didn’t really hit the mark. Internet signal wasn’t strong enough to use devices.

Smart double room / comfy bed / nice en-suite

public car park a short walk away for overnight parking. continental breakfast in a box in the room, was ok but not really my choice.

nothing special just adequate

Stayed in April 2023

Limited space to put things next to sink in bathroom. Could benefit from some storage/shelving space.

Convenient location for our purpose. Easy access to the town centre. Cheap parking across the street.

Breakfast was poor (hamper of small cereal boxes and cold croissants) no information in the room about breakfast, check out etc.

location ideal for wedding at Dean’s Court. Molten Brown toiletries

After reading reviews were concerned however we were greeted by such a friendly member of staff and couldn’t fault to room, cleanliness and comfort .

No hot water for shower or bath. I was up and out before 7am so could not raise it as an issue at the time. I would stay again.

Nice hotel and seating area in the bar, menu limited but the food was good. Staff friendly.

Stayed in May 2023

very soft bed and pillows. Noisy traffic as it’s on one of the the main junctions in Wimbourne Minster. Some staining on the carpet and bed throw. The bathroom needs a bit of attention to cleaning especially round the shower and drain. The shower floods over the tray if your not careful and there’s grout missing in the floor tiles. The toilet flush is lousy.

Mid range accommodation above an old pub. Chosen because nothing else available on a bank holiday half term weekend.

Stayed in May 2023

the bedroom door did not have an internal lock on it, as we discovered getting in late (11.30pm) after dinner and drinks. there did not appear to be any staff around and no one around in the morning when we left at 8am.
