3 nights stay. Down to visit two sets of friends.Exceptional guest house ran by the lovely Jane & Ged.

Just got back from an amazing weekend staying at the incredible Amarillo guest house for my hen weekend. Whilst I had no part of organising the accomodation, from what I understand Jane and Ged were extremely helpful and attentive throughout the planning stages and were kind enough to let us take over the whole guesthouse for the bank holiday weekend.The rooms were all amazing! I stayed in "bird room" as I liked to call it and it was honestly so beautiful with huge mirrors and a super comfy bed.The location was excellent with only a 15 minute or so walk to the seafront and it was super clean!I have already raved about it to my hubby-to-be and we're hoping to visit together in the future.Thanks again so much h Jane and Ged for trusting 15 hens to take it over - we hope you are happy with how we left it and wish you all the best for future bookings. Hopefully I'll see you soonAlice xđ°đ»ââïžRooms: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Location: 5/5RoomsAll beautifully designed with quirky wallpapers, luxurious furnishings and cool accessories. We all came away with lots of interior design ideas for our own homes!!Noteworthy detailsAn absolutely amazing place to stay!Hotel highlightsLuxury, Great value
