All of the staff were very nice and friendly. The complex is large with apparently lots to see. However you need an interest in this specific type of history to thoroughly enjoy it. We went for a "Call The Midwife" tour which was great and well worth the price. The rope making building and demonstration was surprisingly interesting and well done. I didn't truly "love" the Dockyard merely because I wasn't as interested in most of it, but I didn't feel comfortable only giving 4 stars when this is a personal preference and the site and staff were overall great.
Lots of exhibits to see. highlight for me was going down in the submarine Ocelot very interesting. Everyone on site was extremely knowledgeable didn’t have to ask many questions which is always good. Couple of cafes/restaurants on site serving sensibly priced food. Try to avoid eating at peak times however as it took quite a long time to get to the table. Good facilities for children (even though I didn’t bring any) noticed a couple of play areas and children’s activities on site. Would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys looking round old ships and how they used to make the ropes, rigging and maintain them. Also had quite a few military pieces of machinery and Second World War vehicles & equipment. Would definitely revisit.
Thoroughly enjoyed or time there, approximately 3 hours , we had to cut short our visit as we had something else planned later in the day but will be revisiting in the spring to see the other exhibits.
The staff were all really pleasant, informative , and fun .We couldn’t wish for more.
The free parking and admission allowing you to visit all year around made it great value for money.
Excellent
