Lovely looking marina in a beautiful setting with excellent facilities.
However. It does take an hour and a half to get to the Solent and there is a lock; we knew this and that was not the problem ... but queuing for literally HOURS to actually get out of the lock WAS a problem. Add to this the shallow channel which needs dredging (making tide restrictions even greater), extensive public parking in bertholders spaces and the fact that we have now had coralworm TWICE in two seasons (resulting in expensive lift-outs and cleaning) ... we decided that the disadvantages far outweighed the advantages and we have now moved.
Such a shame, as the setting and facilities were perfect :(
