The hotel is just a short walk from the centre of the small town of Wimborne. The building itself must be quite old with some uneven floors, a maze of corridors and old style windows. My stay was mid week and the place had more of a wine bar ambience than a pub. Internally the building was quiet though my room did face the road onto a small roundabout which was busy at peak times. The room had a quirky selection of furniture and the bed was comfortable. The en suite bathroom and toilet were modern with a particularly good shower. Sadly there was no cooked breakfast just a box provided outside the room with cereals, pastries, juice etc. At my time of stay the evening meals were limited to cheese and charcuterie but Wimborne is a little gem and there is a wide variety of places to eat.

I guess the Minster Arms is going through a tough time. Breakfast used to have a great selection of Continental and cooked breakfast. Now a tatty hamper delivered outside the bedroom door! Room was OK for the price but had a very small window which made it dark. Various maintain issues in the room. The Resturant is now closed and only bar meals. No body around in the morning and no instructions on how to check out.....actually no instruction manual at all in the rooms.

There was no hot water in the morning. All the guests staying that night commented on it. I don't like having a luke warm shower so this was disappointing.

The room itself was clean and comfortable but we were very disappointed by the breakfast and we had trouble contacting the venue team both before and during our stay. Be aware that breakfast is a few items in a box left at your door the night before. There was a small cereal box each but the milk had gone off before the morning, probably because the heating was on full in the room all night. Other food was cake - a muffin and a pastry. There was no one in the venue to ask for more milk and we realised it is generally un-manned which explained why we couldn't get through on the phone before we arrived. If the venue could improve the breakfast, we would recommend it as a place to stay.
