The staff were charming. The room was large and had everything one needed.Spotless bedding and bathroom. Loved the table with ground coffee, cafetière etc. One lamp was missing a bulb but it was replaced when we reported it. Also, the staff member who showed us to the room kindly carried one of our cases up the second set of stairs.

The sisal carpet on the stairs and in our room, and the bedside table were stained. Liquid soap containers were empty. We were up in the attic and the stairs up to our room were steep and narrow. One had to take care not to hit the sloping ceiling when passing the end of the bed towards the bathroom.

Nice fluffy towels, good sheets and quality bathroom products. Very obliging staff and a first class breakfast. Bottled water in room, as well as tea and coffee etc. Room nicely decorated and comfortable.

Our room was very noisy, as lots of traffic from three directions whizzed past, often well into the evening. Our summer stay meant that our windows were open, so we really noticed the traffic and the refuse collection first thing in the morning. Our room was right at the top of the building (and tricky to find), so the three narrow flights of stairs wouldn’t be suitable for everyone. I’m not sure what the solution to these problems might be, as there’s no possibility of a lift in such an old building. Triple glazing might not be possible to reduce the noise. Such a pity, as the hotel has so much going for it. I don’t think the issues raised would stop us from staying again.

Friendly staff. Cean, comfortable room. Beautifully decorated throughout. Lovely full english breakfast. Close to town centre.

We stayed in the Chablis room, disappointed there was no mirror in the bedroom. It would have been nice to have had a small mirror over the sink in the separate toilet and a hand towel. (There was room for a mirror and towel ring). A box of tissues and small rubbish bin would also have been useful. The large shower head did not have much pressure and water was directing all over the place. Not the best flushing toilet.

Dinner in the restaurant and breakfast was very good, and the coffee excellent. Good quality tea/coffee/hot chocolate in room. All the products you might need in the bathroom. Fresh, clean bedding and very comfortable bed and pillows.

Could hear the music from the pub and restaurant below. Could also hear the traffic into the night and early morning as located by the roadside at a mini roundabout. I'm a light sleeper and used to quiet nights, so the background noise may not disturb other guests quite as much.

OMG !! We are definitely coming back! What a lovely place. So convenient for visiting family that we will use this "pub with rooms" instead of the other local "pub with rooms" where we have also stayed. The room was huge, the location is fabulous and perfect for being nosy and people watching. The complimentary bathroom toiletries surpass all others anywhere else we've stayed. When we came down for breakfast, what can I say! very pleasant atmosphere, superb staff, exceptional choice of food including croissants, crumpets, toast, jams and honey etc, cereal, granola's, fresh strawberries, yoghurts, grapes, bananas, apples and oranges etc, 2 different options of milk and 3 fresh fruit juices to choose from. Then there was the cooked breakfast menu. My mouth is watering just remembering it all. Full English, vegan and vegetarian options also. You could add extra's and then there were all the breakfast sandwiches to choose from and the best bit for me was ..... omelette. I hardly ever see omelette on the menu lately and The Minster Arms had a choice of 4. Also there were things like eggs royale and eggs benedict. I hope you can tell how impressed we were!!!!!

The lunch menu was quite limited, that's about the only thing I can say which is even slightly negative. That being said, the triple cooked chips are out of this world!!!

I stayed in Chablis, which I believe is the smallest of the rooms on offer. It was ample space for one person, and would have been fine for a couple. I'd seen reviews which complained about cleanliness, but I have absolutely no criticisms on that score. The room was spotless, apart from a few crumbs of what looked like tobacco in a bedside drawer. The Minster Arms is situated just beyond the central part of Wimborne, and consequently was very quiet, with minimal traffic noise. I slept very well. Breakfast was lovely, served in a quiet dining room. The waitress was friendly and the "full English" was delicious and hot. The pretty ceramic jars of juice were a nice touch. I enjoyed a quick walk into the centre of Wimborne in the morning.

These are very minor criticisms. The room is painted in dark colours, and although tasteful it's a bit gloomy. The only hanging space was a rail fixed to the wall with a small and random assortment of hangers. I appreciate that there wouldn't be space for a wardrobe, but if you're going to provide a rail, perhaps provide more and better hangers.

I loved my stay at The Minster Arms! My room was beautiful. I stayed in ‘burgundy’ which was beautifully and tastefully decorated with a French bed and roll top bath. A separate area with a desk was perfect for me as I was on a work trip. It was warm and comfortable - the bed was one of the most comfy beds I’ve ever slept in. The staff were so friendly and accommodating, I felt so welcome. I ate in the restaurant on ‘pie and a pint’ night and it was a huge portion at a very reasonable price. Very close to the town centre - Wimborne is very pretty and definitely worth a visit.

As it is on a road, it can be quite noisy with traffic, but this did die down at night time.

Loved the comfortable bed, the lovely big bath and the food was excellent. Slept really well and had a very chilled evening. Was really good breakfast included in the morning and friendly staff. Close to the centre and near local attractions and shops. Really nice place and would definitely stay again.

Was slightly put out that I was awoken at 5.30am by someone emptying glass bottle bins! Wasn't too much drama and got back to sleep. Unfortunately iplayer didn't work on the TV and the Internet reception wasn't amazing. However I didnt mind too much and these things didn't have a huge impact on what a nice time I had.

The rooms are beautifully decorated, someone really had an eye for this sort of thing! The bathroom in particular was gorgeous. I really enjoyed the separate door for accommodation as well that worked fantastically for coming back after-hours. Breakfast was beyond ten out of ten, a wonderful spread and the cooked options were superb. I would happily come back.

The only slight issue was the road noise and there really is nothing that can be done about that. Don't let it put you off though, it is a wonderful hotel.

Location excellent. Comfortable bed. In a very nice town, nearby our destination. Parking convenient and reasonable price for overnight. Breakfast very generous and good choice of items. A good overnight stop at a fair price. Pleasant friendly staff.

Room was exceptionally dark due to walls painted dark colour. Although decorated nicely. No full length mirror Room could do with some hooks to hang clothes No deal for a single person, with breakfast, although room same charge for single as a double.
