"My husband and I stayed here for two nights as a part of our honeymoon, and it was absolutely beautiful! The location was stunning, and we loved being able to explore the surrounding area. The scenery alone made this stay memorable, you can see the famous colourful houses along the water front. One thing to keep in mind is that the street can be quite busy with vehicle traffic, so be cautious when walking around. Parking was a bit of a hassle, as there is no dedicated hotel parking. You can park along the road or use nearby public car parks, but it's something worth considering when planning your stay. Overall, we had a wonderful experience, and the beautiful location made it well worth the stay!"
