Stayed 2 nights B&B in early May. Good location in centre of Wimborne. Rooms were very clean, but the one we were given was at the back above the kitchens, so we had a noisy extractor fan running out to a vent pipe which was next to our window, this would start at 06.30hrs for breakfast, don't know when it...

We stayed for 1 night, Great location in the centre of Wimbourne. Food was excellent, staff very professional and welcoming. Rooms were clean and quite big, the bed was the really comfy. The only thing was the creakie floorboards in our room.(Sorry to the people below) But overall the hotel was very good value for money.

Reception very helpful, served a good pint of beer in bar, room itself was average, good choice for breakfast but coffee could have been more plentiful. Car parking is a real problem at this hotel and needs sorting out. The car park is much too small and inaccessible and I suspect is used by non residents of the hotel. Wimborne... More

The staff are really kind but theres just not enough of them and this often leads to slow service. Last week they were so busy are food went cold waiting for condiments. The restaurant and... More

Not many hotels around Wimborne and so if you go there choose the King's Head. I stayed there two nights in a superior room with four poster bed and lounge area with a view onto the main square. Wimborne Minster is a beautiful town and to see the market unfold from your bedroom through tall Georgian (?) windows was lovely.... More

We've just returned from 4 nights at this hotel and we had a really fabulous time. The staff made it, they could not be faulted. A lovely breakfast was served very swiftly and efficiently by very friendly staff and it was great to have your toast brought to the table rather than having to stand over a temperamental toaster for...
