The pub looks like a lovely old pub from the outside and the bar and restaurant area has been modernised to a good standard. The menu is a typical chain pub one but I can’t comment on the food quality as we didn’t eat there. There was a good selection of beers including some local ales. We were staying in one of the rooms. Parking was easy as there’s lots of spaces behind the pub and you just register your car on arrival. When we arrived to check in, they couldn’t find our room key so we were give a drink on the house while we waited. The staff we met while we were there were friendly. The room was spacious with a comfortable king size bed. There was plenty of storage place for clothes. The bathroom was also large with a good size bath and a powerful shower. However, the room really needed modernising. The carpets and decor were very dated. The window is a very old wooden one and there was a definite draught through it. We could hear everything going on in the street below. It was especially noisy when they were setting up the market or the bin lorry’s were collecting. There weren’t any sockets next to the bed, only 3 in the room, one with the tv plugged into it. In the bathroom, the sink had some stains in it, the extractor was poor, the shower gel dispenser was empty and the bath plug didn’t seal properly. So the water slowly drained away while I was in the bath. Overall it was cheap and cheerful and ok for a couple of days but the rooms could really do with modernising.

Stayed here before and the breakfast was always included. Now it is an extra so when we arrived for breakfast we were told it was £15.95 pp. We went ahead and had the breakfast. The breakfast was no way worth £15.95 each fortunately they only charged us for 1 breakfast instead of 2. The bacon was described as crispy!! I think burnt to a crisp descibes it better. poach eggs over cooked and the toast was more like warm bread. So why would you walk 152 steps to pay £15.95 for that. When you can walk 40 steps and go to Aroma for a full English with tea or coffee for £7.95. or walk 172 steps and go to Wetherspoons for £4.99 plus £1.69 for unlimited tea & coffee. Will be staying elsewhere in the future.

Enjoyed a great stay at The Minster Arms last night. Check in was efficient and friendly. We had the Champagne room which was warm and very comfortable and had everything you could need. The bed was super comfy if a little creaky and the linen and duvet were good quality. Everything was spotlessly clean. We had a very nice bathroom with a walk in shower, a full range of Molton Brown toiletries and thick white, fluffy towels. Didn’t use the bath in the bedroom - not my thing but I’m sure it would appeal to some. We were on the top floor and the last flight of stairs were steep with narrow treads so may not be suitable for anyone with mobility problems. Breakfast was really good - anything you could want and hot food was well cooked. All served with a friendly smile. Would recommend and definitely stay again if in Wimborne.

Quaint tidy and spacious clean double room we had for one night . Even when we were near the busy road, the noise didn’t bother us because the room and the bed were very comfortable I will come back and use this hotel soon
