    clean room
    comfortable bed
    staff absence
    cleaning problems
    exit difficulties

    The room featured a lovely modern design and was impeccably clean, with a comfortable bed and high-quality linens. the lack of staff presence was concerning, especially when checking in and out, as we faced difficulties with locked doors. Cleaning issues were apparent, with dust and cobwebs found in the room, which detracted from the otherwise enjoyable experience. The food, particularly the risotto, was fantastic, making dinner a highlight of the stay.

    comfy bedding
    beautiful bathroom
    garden relaxation
    noisy room

    I loved my stay in a lovely room with comfy bedding and nice Molton Brown toiletries. The free-standing bath was a real treat! The garden area had a cute patio and plenty of spots to relax, which I really enjoyed. Just a heads up, the room was a bit noisy due to nearby traffic, but it didn’t spoil my overall experience. 😊

    spacious room
    ground coffee
    broken lamp

    The room was spacious and had everything we needed. We loved the fresh ground coffee and the staff even helped carry our bags up the stairs. The peaceful garden area was perfect for relaxing, and the cozy lounge by the fireplace was a great spot for story-sharing. Just a minor thing, one of the lamps was out but they replaced it quickly, so no big deal! 😊

    triple cooked chips

    Just a proper fit for a brief visit in Wimborne Minster with good value considering price it charged. The triple cooked chips were out of this world! Try to avoid the rooms above the garden area for a quieter night.

    we loved our stay at the minster arms. the location was convenient, right by a busy roundabout, and the double room was cozy. they prepared an exceptional pack-up breakfast for us, asking exactly what we wanted. it arrived in a lovely wicker basket before we left.

    Decent Stay with Room for Improvement

    The room was comfy, but basic amenities needed attention. I enjoyed a nice walk in the surrounding area. For breakfast, I wish there were more options. Guests should consider bringing extra toiletries and noise-cancelling headphones to enhance their experience.

    cozy atmosphere
    nice decor
    limited options
    poor shower

    Room decor looks nice, and the pub atmosphere feels cozy. Shower wasn’t working properly. Breakfast options were limited, delivered in a basket outside the door. Location is handy for exploring the town.

    roll top bath
    cozy atmosphere
    delightful breakfast
    dripping shower
    poor maintenance

    my recent stay in wimborne minster was lovely, especially during the wedding ceremony. the minster arms exceeded my expectations with a roll top bath in my deluxe double room, creating a cozy atmosphere. breakfast was also delightful, served hot in a serene dining room.

    the shower was dripping constantly.

    Charming decor in a cozy atmosphere

    My stay featured a beautifully decorated room with a cozy ambiance, making it a lovely experience in the heart of Wimborne. The breakfast was a delightful surprise, provided in a convenient hamper outside my door, though clearer communication regarding breakfast choices would enhance the experience even more.

    Needs improvement
    5.0

    The pub area offers a decent atmosphere with a cozy vibe, perfect for a quick drink after a long day. The location is relatively central, making it easy to explore the surrounding area and local shops.

    The Deluxe Double Room featured a carpet that looked like it hadn't seen a vacuum in ages, making you question the last time it was properly cleaned. The headboard was in pretty rough shape, covered in stains that don’t inspire confidence. Even with air purifiers in the room, the unpleasant odor lingered. Breach of basic cleanliness standards aside, the continental breakfast was a letdown—a simple basket with limited options that didn’t really hit the spot, especially not for those expecting more variety. the lighting in the room left a lot to be desired. navigating around was a challenge in dim light. It felt more like a hassle than a homey experience, truth be told.

    Great for a Short Family Getaway

    Our stay was memorable with spacious accommodations. The hidden thermostat made the room comfortable after a sleepless night. Enjoyed the charming pub on-site, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. For future guests, ensure to ask about the diverse tea selection ahead of time.
