We loved every minute of our stay on MV Action! It's not just a weekend away it's a whole experience staying on board a real-life WW2 boat that has served in wartime. The amount of detail that has gone into the restoration and making it the most comfortable stay possible is truly amazing. There has been five long years of patience, effort, sweat, love, and money lavished on this vessel and it really shows. The boat has been lovingly restored to reflect the period, but also includes all the modern requirements and comforts needed.
The galley is well equipped, and the bathroom is very well appointed and comes with a unique shower that is sunk into the deck, so you don't have to duck down while having a wash. An ingenious solution to a low height ceiling! The lounge is well heated and superbly comfortable as we spent many hours in there watching Netflix and Prime movies with surround sound whilst the rain pattered away outside on the roof. The bedroom is at the fore of the boat and is comfy, cosy, and warm with a queen size bed. Upstairs from the lounge is the bridge where you get to play with all the boat controls, and they all WORK! Everything has been wired to do something, either ring a bell or make a noise, or turn on a light etc. The amount of thought put in is amazing. Outside on the main deck is a comfortable outdoor area that would be wonderful on a warm afternoon.
The hosts also provided in the galley fridge everything needed for a weekend away. Milk, juice, eggs, bacon, beer, fruit, cheese, jams, the list goes on, as well as fresh locally baked bread, crackers, avocado, and of course, chocolate!
We highly recommend a stay on MV Action, it's like an adventure playground for kid-minded-adults who like a bit of history and luxury rolled in together. A truly unique experience in the beautiful Red Hill region.
