The Minster Arms - Carta

This was our second visit to this charming pub/hotel. The rooms are unique, comfortable, and very clean. We only had breakfast here this time, and there was a great variety of options, all cooked to perfection. The staff was polite and friendly. Hannah, you are fantastic at your job and a wonderful hostess.

I made the unfortunate decision to hold my 50th birthday celebrations here, with some guests also booking rooms. Abysmal customer service, truly let down by management and overall a terrible experience. Ruined my birthday and would not recommend this pub at all. A shame because it has an appealing interior and ambience.

We were in Wimborne to attend a show at the theatre and stayed at a lovely accommodation with a cosy pub. The food was great and our room was fantastic. The staff, especially Hanna, were delightful and very welcoming. Hanna couldn't do enough for us and we are already planning to return when we attend another show. Highly recommend this place.

We went here from Ferndown as we had visited here last year when we stayed in Wimborne and had enjoyed a great meal. We were so glad we did my husband and I had the lamb rump with dauphinoise potatoes it was delicious. We were looked after by Charmaine and Caitlin both were very friendly and attentive. We cannot wait to return when we are down this way again..

Went in for a drink after the carol service in the Minster last night, I approached the bar where the barmaid was serving a couple of people, after she had finished she just disappeared into the kitchen and then re-appeared in the main body of the pub, I politely asked if there was any one serving, I am busy doing something else she snarled, so I went back to the bar to wait only for her to re-appear and serve someone who had gone to the bar after me. With that I left to find a pub with bar staff who had manners, Will not be visiting again any time soon.

The hotel has a public parking lot across the road with an extra charge during the day. We do not recommend this hotel as we were very disappointed. The room was accessed by a narrow, steep, and twisting staircase. The carpets were stained and the room was dark, in need of a fresh coat of paint and new carpets. There was no storage space for clothes, no wardrobe, clothes rail, or chest of drawers. The bathroom door was difficult to open or close. The curtains were falling off the rail. There were only shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom, and the hand sanitizer was empty. The cooked breakfast was okay, but there was no yogurt, muesli, fruit, or marmalade. There were uncovered croissants a... Ver carta

We had planned to stay at The Minster Arms for two nights in October 2023. We were a group of three, taking a room each (Champagne, Burgundy and Chablis). On first glance the rooms are lovely, although the corridors to get to them are very scruffy and narrow. Champagne is up a steep staircase so not ideal when you are carrying luggage. Anyway, apart from some minor niggles (missing lightbulb, nowhere to hang clothes, coffee but no cafetière, etc), we were reasonably happy with our rooms and set out for the evening for dinner. It was when we returned and went to bed that we discovered that the windows do not stop any noise and it is a fairly busy road outside, so it is very loud. Next morning...

My friends and I came to stay here the past weekend, and stupidly I glanced at the overall rating and didn 't read any reviews and thought it would be fine. How wrong we were! On first impressions the rooms (we had 3 look lovely, and well appointed. However, then you get into it! I think between the 3 of us we could have made one room that would have been suitable. Problems included: A broken shower, lights out in the rooms, blinds that could not be opened, windows that don 't fit (so the noise is awful , dirty, uncomfortable beds, stained carpets, breakfast items unavailable, hairdryers dangerously broken, no cafetiere despite being given fresh coffee, but worst of all, NO hot water AT ALL...
