After spending the last week down OV I have to say I'm really impressed..
The staff have been enormously helpful, facilities are ok and are to be upgraded at the end of the season I believe but are more than adequate and I'm even finding what I thought would be a hassle, not to be the case i.e. I'm enjoying the little run up the river.
SWMBO's in her element with the shopping and restaurants within easy reach and we have a permanent boat (rather large fender as it never goes anywhere) next to us so no worries of our boat getting clouted by a visitor when not there. We're making good use of the freedom berthing too, plus was surprised to fill up at £1.43p per litre (Petrol) at Port Hamble so not only saving on the jerry can experience but also a few pennies too in that regard... the lad made good use of the free ice lolly whilst fuelling up
Maybe honeymoon period or just a stark contrast to having the boat on a trailer being our first year in a marina but at present, couldn't be happier with the experience.
a thumbs up to MDL from me
