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.

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.

From the outside it looked lovely, nice rooms set back from the pub/restaurant itself, plenty of outside space and adequate parking. The room smelt very strongly of damp and foist, there was lots of mould all over and cobwebs left. Roller blind had squashed dead bugs on, dressing table stool was wobbly and it was just seemed neglected. Location was great for what we needed, restaurant was decent but was really disappointed with the room, so was my 8yr old daughter who picked up on the smell immediately. If I could have found another hotel once I’d been in the room I would have. Thankfully we didn’t spend much time in it as we had a busy itinerary, would certainly visit the area again but unfortunately not the hotel

When deciding where to hold our Wedding Reception, we didn't need to look further than the team at The Crown Hotel. From the very first meeting, Laura filled us with the confidence that almost anything is possible. The best part of the experience was that Laura asked us what we wanted or expected and then advised the best options, leaving the final decisions with us. We felt in control. Regular catchups by email, calls and face-to-face meetings meant that we were always updated as the date approached. We had many moving parts to consider and orchestrate; from a String Quartet in the Garden with welcome drinks and Canopés, then cutting the cake and speeches, followed by Secret Singing Waiters, a buffet, a Saxophonist, Bongo Dave, a photobooth, chocolate fountain and a great DJ. This is where Laura and Robert really came into their own. Robert did a fantastic job of announcing each part of the evening, from our arrival to speeches and everything else. Managing their team of Lauren, Jess and Tabitha (all stars on the evening) meant that the evening flowed without interruption. With confidence in this team, we felt that we could simply enjoy the evening just like anyone else. Do not hesitate to book your event at this venue. We also loved staying at the Hotel, as did our guests.

Very good
