My wife and I visited the Kings Head Hotel in Wimborne for lunch whilst visiting the Farmers Market on Friday 7th June 2013. The farmers market was in our view like a mix between a jumble sale and a bring and buy sale or car boot. Hoping to see better we entered the Kings Head at just after 12-30pm and... More

We had read the reviews on Trip Advisor before booking this hotel but as it is the only one available in Wimborne we decided to take a chance. Parking next to a Rentokil mousetrap in the car park wasn’t the greatest start. Neither was walking to the front of the hotel past water pouring out of a drainpipe blocked by... More

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
