One of the best hotels we've visited!!!! we booked as a last minute getaway for my birthday  it was excellent value for money, food was fantastic and service was 100% and as for the room was one of the most comfortable beds weve stayed in, amazing night sleep felt so refreshed. would recommend to anyone

Best last minute getaway

I don’t know what to write apart from booking staff member L was dismissive rude and unhelpful, The room was filthy, cracked bathroom tiles, disgusting taps, stains on the curtains, mould on the ceiling, shower barely worked. We live in Wimborne and stayed because of a party as we couldn’t be bothered to walk home, I will never recommend this place to anyone. It’s like a dreadful Fawlty Towers. Maybe the previous reviewers have a different level of ok and expectation.

Not a good word to say for the price

Loved our stay, bed was comfy, room was lovely and spacious, bathroom was a good size. The staff at the hotel and restaurant were lovely, nothing was a problem and the manager went over and beyond for us, food was fantastic. We will definitely be returning in the future

Amazing staff

Myself and my wife have just had a one night stay. We only live 5 miles away but thought it would be nice to stay over after seeing ‘The Small Fakers’ at the Tivoli Theatre. 

The room was very large, lovely comfy super king size bed. Spotlessly clean & very comfortable & relatively quiet. All the staff are very nice. The breakfast was delicious , plentiful, nice selection of continental accompaniments also, pastries, yoghurt, granola etc. 

The only thing preventing me from giving 5 ⭐️ is the temperature. Like a lot of hotels you seem to stay in these days, particularly the larger chains, everywhere is far too hot! Walking down to breakfast just now every communal hallway is far too hot. It’s presently 9 degrees outside, every radiator is set to maximum making everywhere very close & stuffy. I appreciate you can’t please all the people all the time, also appreciate older guests feel the cold, but it’s obvious to anyone that it’s unnecessary to have the heating on all the time. 

Never the less, I would return and I would recommend. A nice hotel in beautiful Wimborne.

Beautiful Wimborne

I have stayed in this hotel several times before but this was the best stay ever over Christmas. U can really see such an improvement since the new manager Trefor has taken over. All the staff are absolutely amazing from Laura the head receptionist and the other exceptional staff Zoe, Snead, Jess, Lorraine, Daniel, Chris & Gary front of house and Carl the kitchen manager. Each and everyone of them so efficient and friendly. We didn't want to leave. Nothing was too much trouble for any of them and Christmas Lunch and Boxing Day dinner were superb. 
 

First Class Staff & Stay

From the moment we stepped into the Hotel we sensed a "Happy ship". Laura the Receptionist was so welcoming with a wicked sense of humour. Our Room (10) was clean with good quality linen and fluffy towels. The lovely Barman did his "Cocktail" bit - watch out TC and Zoe our waitress was charming.  We were late down for breakfast - but again a lovely guy ran round and sorted us.  The hotel could do with a bit of tlc, but hey all hospitality venues have taken a bit of a hammering and  I am sure it is on Green King's "to do" list as it is such a lovely old building.

NO COMPLAINTS AT ALL?

comfortable room and bed though there were no tea or coffee making facilities in the room. The  breakfast was undercooked and the coffee was thin and tasteless. I brought this to the staff's attention but did not take the fruit offered as compensation. I guess I could have pursued this but life is too short and I would imagine that this hotel is no more immune to the hospitality industry's current problems than other such hotels.      

Pleasant Hotel in a beautiful town.

Stayed in one of the family rooms recently. Overall, the room felt very tired- peeling wallpaper, just one bedside lamp for a double bed (what's the other person supposed to do for light?), no bedside table or light for the kids bed (even though paying extra for a family room).  Worst of all, security chains had been fitted to the sliding windows which prevented them from being fully closed- not great when it was -2 degrees outside at night and the room overlooked the main road through Wimborne. These issues were there when we stayed 1 year ago- can't believe someone hasn't addressed them in all that time.
 Breakfast was fine but most items seemed to have been pre-cooked- we were bemused by the avocado which appeared to have been frozen and half-defrosted. 
The King's Head is a Wimborne landmark of the town but lack of competition in the area means standards are not great.

Tired room, needs some TLC.

Hotel is in a great location and I requested a room overlooking the square which Laura the very efficient and friendly receptionist  confirmed by email. All the staff are efficient and friendly which is why this was our second visit to the hotel.  Despite being very clean the hotel desperately needs a make-over/refurb. The bathrooms in particular need upgrading as they are very tired as is most of the hotel.

In need of refurbishment

The warmest and friendliest welcome from Laura who went above and beyond to ensure we had a really lovely room and a very comfortable stay . Every single member of staff  smiles here and goes out of their way to help.  I can’t praise them all highly enough and am looking forward to returning.
