We have cars while we are in the marina. We are likely to be in the marina more than on most holidays as I have to do a quick trip back to Kent in the second week for a hospital check up and our friends have to be back in Cambridge for an evening on the third week - but the boat is a bit like a luxury caravan - central heating and 2 loos - just a bit narrow -so we don't mind using it as a base for touring, especially as we don't know the area.
There looks like lots to do and see.
