The hotel is conveniently located in the town center, making it easy to explore Cornwall. The rooms, although facing the main road, were comfortable for a budget stay. The service was friendly and helpful, especially when needing urgent assistance. The dining options varied but had a few disappointing aspects. Overall, a traditional hotel with good road access and public transport links.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The room was spacious and faced onto the square, although a bit noisy being over the front of the pub and by the main road. The service was exceptional, especially during breakfast, but could feel rushed at times. The location was ideal, right on the square in the town center and close to the Tivoli Theatre. The dining experience was good but with some room for improvement. Overall, a great value for money hotel with lovely staff.

6.8/10

The hotel had a great location for exploring Wimbourne and was very spacious, but noise from outsiders made it difficult to sleep at night. The service was extremely friendly and accommodating, although the dining caused confusion with multiple menu options. The rooms, while large and warm, had a damp smell which was off-putting. The facility was standard with good but slow service.
