I suppose I didn’t really know a lot about The Albion and was mildly surprised that all food and drink was served at the sister location. It wasn’t a problem as the Olive Branch is only a short walk away. At reception, I was greeted by a charming lady who showed me to my room which was well appointed although a little cramped. My only negative comment would be the smell of drains that permeated the room during the night.

The food at the Olive Tree is adequate although I was disappointed that 3 of the dishes on a fairly limited menu were not available.

Full credit for a nice breakfast served by a delightful lady.

Delightful staff

Turned up and expected a reception to checkin. Sign on door asking you to walk around to sister pub to checkin. 
Stayed in room number 2 which was located on ground floor. 
Whilst it was clean it smelled musty and needed a good airing. 
The room was very warm - the radiator was not on. I didn’t want to open the window as I was on the ground floor. 
I didn’t sleep very well as a shop alarm was going off all night - obviously this no fault of the hotel. 
Checked in for breakfast- which was 156 steps away from the hotel in the sister pub. Ok in good weather but if it was raining/bad weather you would arrive soaked. 

All in all not for me - wouldn’t stay again

Central and quirky but not for me

I have wanted to stay here a few times when I have visited Wimbourn, however the place is either full or rather over my budget. However this time on looking there was a premium room available, suggestions of such things as a copper bath. 

On arrival it was easy to park and check in, my room was on the top floor, afraid I was not lucky with the copper bath, but the room looked fine and was quite large. Now I can't complain about the comfort of the bed or the power of the shower, but I am afraid I question how clean the room is.
I found the room did have a musty smell coming from the bathroom, I noticed that the mirrors and such things are covered in layers of dust, it was clear that a decent clean had not been done for a very long time.
I'm afraid this has put me off and I would not stay again.


Dusty 

Where to start? 
This room (7) is drop dead gorgeous. Roll top copper bath, HUGE for poster bed, big shower and lovely big room.

It’s decorated perfectly with loads of individual features. Spotlessly clean, comfortable bed, what else could I have!

I felt like a Princess in this room!

Superb

Booked a night for a special occasion in one of the indulgence rooms. Checked in and went to the room to find it was not the room I booked. I went back to reception and queried this. I was only informed then that the booking was downgraded as we had a dog. I added info in the booking we were travelling with a dog. I queried the difference in price and was promised this would be rectified. I booked via an agency, queried this with them upon receiving my credit card statement. They approached the property who have refused to refund the difference in cost. I’ve emailed the property, given them over a week to reply, and received nothing back from them. Really appalling customer service. I won’t be doing business with this hotel group again. We’ve just cancelled 3 rooms for 2 nights at another one of their properties over this.

Appalling customer service & communication

Previously stayed in Wimborne but not at 1777. When we were unable to book our usual accommodation, we stumbled across this 'gem' and what a find it was. Rooms are fantastic - both the standard and superior are full of character with breakfast being served at the Olive Branch which is just around the corner. Staff are welcoming and attentive and the breakfast is not to be missed. Just home from our 2nd visit and we will definitely be back in Wimborne & will stay at 1777. 

Do not miss 1777 at the Albion 

We were so lucky to have found this place. We booked on the off chance and were delighted. The room was amazing. There was so much attention to detail. We loved the live images of the Minster on the TV and the bath in the bedroom. Highly recommended. We will definitely return. 

Fabulous place to stay

… no normal coffee - only decaf. 

We stayed here after getting married earlier in the day. Spoke to Sarah a year before our stay and she was so helpful. 6 rooms booked. No deposit required.  We stayed in one of the superior rooms with the copper bath. Room was beautiful. 
I love a coffee late in the evening and first thing in the morning. Unfortunately the tray hadn’t been stocked up and we only had decaf. 
My wife - sounds weird saying it now - had a bath in the copper bath in the morning and thank goodness she didn’t have it before bed. The tap didn’t stop dripping. We’d have had that all night. 
Unfortunately as lovely as a 4 poster is when a post blocks the tv it’s annoying. Neither of us had a clear view. But we weren’t there to watch tv. It was just nice to chill for a bit. 
These are just small niggles. The room really was lovely.

Beautiful room but….

Amazing room 

Very clean large selection of tea coffee and hot chocolate 

Very comfy double bed little radio next to the bed 

Massive walk in wet room with nice products 

Room is right in the centre so great location 

Parking was easy right by the room 

Sarah was great she called and checked me in as I was going to be late so made it stress free 

All in all fantastic be back again

Fantastic stay

Located only a few yards from Wimborne Minster, 1777 at the Albion used to be a pub in the centre of town.  It is now a handful of rooms converted very well from what might have been a stable block. So, the door to our room opened directly onto the outside alleyway and free parking area.  It was a reasonable sized room with a good bathroom with a shower and a comfortable 5-foot double bed. There wasn’t much space, but enough to hang some clothes, store a suitcase and a small desk/dressing table.  The room was beautifully furnished and had only recently been refurbished.  From the big screen TV, to lovely scatter cushions, to a Roberts Radio and fast free Wi-fi, there was a lot to like.  Perhaps nicest of all was a very warm welcome from Sarah, and a small garden where we could sit out and enjoy a bottle of our own chilled white wine in the summer sunshine.  The location was quiet and very convenient for wandering around the town.  But there is nobody on the premises in the evening and breakfast is a 5 minute walk away at the other end of the town – and only served from 8 am.  We had an early start, so we never even go to see the breakfast.
