Amarillo Guesthouse

Owners were out when we arrived but they left info. on how to access the accom. We duly opened the door lock and were greeted with a musty damp smell which was coming from the downstairs rooms? The "King Room" was similar in size to my boxroom at my home (standing area 6x6feet with a sloping ceiling and no hazard warning tape or paint) I banged my head a few times!! The saving grace was the owners friendly and chatty manner.

We loved our short stay (3 nights) at The Amarillo. This gorgeous B&B stands out from all others in every way. The owners, Jane and Jed are welcoming and full of great ideas, offering their advice on where to visit and eat - all tried and tested by them so they know what they are talking about. Parking available and also free parking on the road. The room we stayed in (room 2) was perfect for our stay - beautifully decorated- and a fabulous shower. The entrance to the B&B is lovely and everywhere was spotless. Breakfast is fantastic. Different items arrived each day, great choice and beautifully presented. The beach is 10 mins walk - easy to get to, down the zig zag, and you arrive at a sandy, clean and happy beach. We would stay at the Amarillo again and genuinely hope to do so. If you are thinking of staying in Bournemouth then The Amarillo should be top of your list. A very huge thank you to Jane and Jed.

What a great little find! We were desperate for a short break, and to see the sea, so we booked the Amarillo based on the reviews it had received. All of the reviews are very justified, the property is in a fantastic location to access the town centre, the beach and the railway station in order to explore some more of Dorset. The owners of the property, Jane and Ged, are some of the most helpful and informative people you will ever meet. The recommendations provided made our trip easy and enjoyable, from bus routes to restaurant recommendations. The stay was without fault. Parking was very easy (and we were kindly allowed to leave our car there after checkout), the continental breakfasts were very good, the property was spotlessly clean and the hosts were brilliant. We stayed in room 8 which is the room stating "private bathroom". This room's bathroom is a very short distance from the room itself and caused no issue at all, a robe was even provided to make the short journey! One small word of advice to anyone booking, the ceiling to this room is very low in places, and myself being 6ft + made it slightly difficult at times. THIS IS NOT A NEGATIVE, if you are slightly taller then I would very highly advise that you book one of the other rooms, because the stay is definitely worth it.

Lovely guesthouse, room was clean and organised and had everything we needed for our 1 night stay. Great selection of breakfast options. Jane and Ged were friendly and helpful. They were out when we arrived but had left clear directions on how to access the house and get to our room which was prepared for us. Easy walk to the seafront and pier, and BIC. Would stay again if we're back in the area.

What a lovely little gem! So beautifully decorated throughout. Jane and Ged were the best hosts, so lovely and helpful, even prior to our arrival. I wish we could have been there longer as there’s so much to do and see around there. If we go to Bournemouth again, we will definitely be staying here!

The Amarillo is a wonderful guesthouse within walking distance of a beautiful beach. Jane & Ged are very genuine, warm & welcoming hosts & have lots of useful recommendations for places to visit & eat. Everywhere is beautifully decorated with great attention to detail. Our room was spotlessly clean & spacious with a very comfortable bed. It had everything that you could possibly need. Breakfast was excellent. They do not offer a cooked breakfast but as continental breakfasts go this is the best that we have ever had. We would 100% recommend the Amarillo & guarantee that if you book you will not be disappointed. We look forward to visiting again.

Even prior to arriving Jane and Ged were very friendly, giving us recommendations for activities and local eateries for our stay! The room was immaculately clean, comfy bed and pillows, refill station was a lovely touch. Good location to walk into town or down to the beach.

WOW... My dream home away from home. Amarillo is everything you need for a perfect stay with perfect hosts. Jane, Ged you really have put love and thought into your dream. Definitely the best place to stay in Bournemouth. See you soon. Love from Brum x

We had a wonderful stay at Amarillo Guesthouse Bournemouth. My wife had bought me tickets to see Leona Lewis at the Bournemouth International Centre. As soon as our booking was confirmed we received a text message and from then on they were only a text message away. As soon as we arrived we were made to feel welcome Jane and Jed were so accommodating and kind, so easy to talk too and nothing was to much trouble. They recommended places to eat and things that we wouldnt of known. The Guesthouse was so clean and the interior design was exceptional. We had Room 3 , We would totally recommend it. It was a short walk away to the town centre, you can either walk the town way or the coast way which has amazing views of the sea and beach. We stayed for two night and would definitely go back and recommend to all our friends and family.
