The Kings Head in East Dorset

Stayed 2 nights on front, surprisingly no noise when we went to bed, being next to road beds v comfy & lovely bathroom with bath! Breakfast very tasty & quick, staff very friendly & lovely welcome. Great to have free parking too, very central for local shops & travelling . Would definitely stay again

Staff very pleasant, breakfast amazing.

The food is not bad, in fact i would recommend the pork belly starter. However, it is not consistent with the mains, I ordered risotto and it was undercooked, for the price I expected more. Service was good tho

Our third time to this hotel. We come back because the staff are so friendly and welcoming and the beds comfortable, rooms clean. Good food and an excellent location in the delightful town. Brilliant value. There is a car park on a first come first serve basis which is fair enough. I can’t thank the manager and staff enough for always looking after us so well.

Unfortunately the room was a let down, rather drab and dated and some of the bath front tiles were cracked. Gives a bad impression. Staff were great.

Love this place. Great ,friendly staff, good location for shows at the Tivoli. Would highly recommend 👌.

As soon as I walked through the door I was immediately asked what I wanted, after saying I needed the loo then have a drink I was told the toilets aren't for public use in such a rude and snidey manner. I will never go to this pub again

From start to finish excellent attentive,prompt and friendly service.I booked a single room for 3 nights but the room was spacious and the bed was a small double not a single with the most comfortable mattress and good quality bedding.The en suite was good size with a bath.Generous restockingbof tea/coffee in the room.Breakfast was very generous and top quality produce with speedy but friendly service.The evening meal was value for money.The room and whole hotel is immaculately clean.But best of all every member of staff couldn't do enough to help me such as carrying my cases to/from room.I would recommend this lovely old lady of a hotel to anyone.Thank you all for a lovely stay.

Was very impressed by complimentary parking right in the town centre! Very nice receptionist. Hotel is a beautiful old building and room was lovely.. breakfast was lovely as was the Xmas decor in the restaurant area. Wifi worked for my business purposes. Given the central parking had a sort walk after breakfast taking in the charming old town. All good!

Visiting family and we stayed just one night. We ate dinner elsewhere so can’t speak to the food except breakfast, which was good. Excellent service. Comfortable and spacious room. Great location for central Wimborne.

Cosy friendly and helpful staff

Walked through the door with my service dog and a man immediately told me I couldn’t go here I couldn’t go there etc etc, nice welcome!, only wanted the bar and dogs allowed I did not remind him that registered service dogs can legally go anywhere. Went to bar ordered a drink and was told by the lady serving dogs couldn’t go blah blah blah! then she added the whole hotel could be shut down due to a dog at this point I had to inform here that she was talking rubbish if you advertise as dog friendly then be dog friendly do not attack customers as soon as they arrive and maybe a water bowl!. I have used this place on and off for over 50 years not-in recent years as I now live abroad but what a shame it has gone downhill so much no wonder only 5 people in the bar.

Had a family event here. Live music. Absolutely friendly staff. Great night.

Sharon, perfect server. Great food, lovely atmosphere. Had an issue with the blackcurrant not being blackcurrant but she put it right. Smiling, happy and chatty. Thanks

Great pub brilliant atmosphere for a couple drinks or a meal out

Dropped in for Sunday roast. Perfect and a good sized portion for a sensible price. Efficient service from the waitress. Will drop in again soon

A friend stayed at the Kings Head which is local to me. She especially loved the location and her room was good. Service exceptional.

Nice Sunday lunch. Prices are in line with the local area. Staff were attentive and pleasant.

Great place to stay, central to beautiful market town amenities shops pubs and sightseeing

Very welcoming and excellent food and service

We stopped here for lunch on the way from Devon to Sussex. Great service and food in a spacious and comfortable dining room.

Stayed here with my husband , staff were really nice !! Helped us the second we walked in

Great location, really nice staff and good size rooms, it was a little warm when we were there and there was no air conditioning in our room, but it wasn't too bad. We really enjoyed our stay. Thanks.

Needs more vegan options on menu

Stayed many times aĺeays exellant

We had a work dinner at Kings Head which nearly 40 people attended. The food and service were fantastic!! The staff were really good and ensured we had an enjoyable time. The venue was great for big group like ours and Laura was brilliant through out the booking process. We all had a good time, definitely will be visiting again soon.

Great Hotel fantastic staff. Good rooms good selection of drinks. Very nice restaurant The food was lovely.

Have just spent 2 nights here as did several family members, who all came to Wimborne to attend and celebrate a wedding. The hotel was superb and I loved my room. All food eaten here was lovely and staff incredibly helpful. I was designated driver of minibus we'd hired to ferry people from hotel to venue (The Orangery) and back at the end of day. Would suggest looking on a map as it is easy to take a wrong turn as Wimborne has a one-way system and you end up on a big loop. Bedroom was a wow as lovely the layout and decor. The bathroom spotless and plenty of towels etc. The little things you might need like an iron or a fan are there. Bed was comfy and enough pillows. Paid £280 for 2 nights (Fri/Sat) inc: full English breakfast. Has a little car park for about 10 cars and spaces can be hard to get when it's busy. Would I stay here again = yes!

We have just returned home from an evening meal and couldn’t wait to share the experience we received. The service was fantastic. Jess and Karen could not have been any more attentive. Jess took our drinks order and confidently answered our questions. Jess was friendly, professional, and worked hard to ensure that all the other customers within our area received the same attention. Karen was equally amazing; their teamwork was remarkable. The service more than made up for the meal. Dessert, The Bakewell Tart was lovely, but my Caesar salad was average, not enough cheese, more of a vinaigrette than Caesar sauce and the smallest chicken breast. The other meals were good though.

First there were 6 of us and the service from Jess and Zoe front of house was excellent. Michael on the bar was very polite and very friendly, we shall be visiting again. The food cooked by Dillon and Adam the chefs was absolutely superb and the manager Trefor has got a brilliant group of staff and done a brilliant job in turning the kings head around. Rest assured we will be back.

Stayed for 2 nights on business. Had a spacious room with a nice bed & view over car park (nice to keep an eye on the car). Nice amenities. Didn't need to call hotel staff for anything, checking in was fast & efficient. Emergency numbers prominently displayed if needed (at reception & in rooms). Only had evening meals but orders were taken accurately, and food was lovely. 2nd night was busier so slightly longer wait but such is life. Overall a great stay, easily getting in my recommendations for South Dorest/Bournemouth/Poole trips.

Two mains for £25. I'll be back for lunch again!

I just want to give the Kings Head a huge thank you for our wonderful Mother’s Day lunch. It was a fabulous experience nothing was too much trouble the attention to detail was flawless. Thank you for my lovely candle and flowers and all the kindness we received. The food was absolutely delicious and we were truly spoiled by all the lovely staff.

Bar , no atmosphere Near Tivoli theatre

A Hotel located within walking distance of shops, restaurants and cafes, with clean rooms and comfortable beds. Very ideal for car travellers as it has onsite parking which is always several levels above most hotels who tell you to park in multi-storeys. Laura, who is extremely helpful, is very accommodating. Honestly, it's everything that you want and more.
