Amarillo Guesthouse

From the moment we arrived to the time we left, we felt at home. Jane and Jed made us feel like one of the family. The property is wonderfully decorated and was clean and comfortable. The continental breakfast was excellent with a huge choice and we wanted for nothing. I thoroughly recommend the Amarillo Guesthouse and will definitely be returning.

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.

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.

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.
