What guests think

Across reviews of Amarillo Guesthouse, travelers praise exceptionally friendly hosts, spotless and stylish interiors, comfortable quiet rooms, and a convenient location within walking distance of the centre and seafront and near the station, making it a pleasant base for Bournemouth.

Breakfast is widely enjoyed when served, but several reviews note limited availability in winter and that offerings can be continental rather than a cooked English option. Parking is mentioned as scarce, with only a couple of off-street spaces for several rooms, and availability can be tight. Room sizes vary, with some rooms and a few bathrooms described as modest or snug. Best suited to travellers seeking a cozy, personable guesthouse experience.

Staff was friendly and room was lovely. Although breakfast was nice it would have been better if expedia listed it as a cold breakfast with toast making facilities and only two off road parking spaces for the 7 or so rooms(would be 3 if owner wasn't using one) as parking was a main factor in selecting accommodation. It was lucky that many of the other guests had come via train and not all rooms were occupied.

Jane and Ged are fabulous hosts and really knowledgeable on the area. Spotlessly clean and welcoming. 15 minute walk into the centre of Bournemouth and all the amenities. Would definitely stay here again.

The cleanliness and comfort of the property was great. Really loved the decor. All towels, bed linen and dressing gown were of great quality and smelt lovely and fresh. The only disappointment was that the property is advertised with breakfast available from 9-10am. It's one of the main reasons I booked this property, over another. Unfortunately, I was told on my first evening by the owner after enqurying about breakfast the next day, that breakfast wasn't served during the winter months - something they mentioned that they are trying to rectify with the advertisement on hotel.com

A lovely B&B run by a very friendly couple. The rooms have clearly been refurbished recently and everything feels very fresh and clean. Whilst the rooms are a modest size, this place is perfect for a comfortable and cozy night’s sleep. There are tea & coffee making facilities as well as a hairdryer in the rooms. My only feedback would be to supply conditioner as well as the shampoo 🙏 thank you again.

What a fabulous gem of a place. Cosy, clean, quiet, great decor & a full & super breakfast spread. Jane & Jed have a truly lovely place for you to stay with all you could need. They showed us a few of the other rooms with some smaller, some bigger, but all with unique decor plus they have bookings for bigger groups to take the entire house [plus the kitchen!]...it's different but simply a fabulous place to stay.

Jane and Ged were fantastic: so friendly and welcoming, and the place is lovely. We stayed in the top floor room with the air conditioning due to the heat, and slept comfortably despite the hot weather. The bathroom was a little snug for my broad shoulders, but still fine. No breakfast Nov-May so can't comment on that, but they gave us some suggestions for other places to eat, which were all fantastic. Perfectly situated for a seaside break, and the area itself is picturesque. While other places are closer to specific attractions, Amarillo is a great central point to see various sites in the area. Would happily stay again!
