This is one big _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ but if you’re looking for a comfortable MotorHome then this is it. Before setting off, Paul cheerfully took my niece and I through the essentials but there’s a lot to take in when picking up this van (and this was our first time doing this type of holiday), so laminated cards with instructions for reference would have really helped later in the journey. Itching to getting go, we pulled out of Paul’s driveway and we were off. Drove the beast up from Edinburgh to Glen Nevis where we overnighted before tackling Ben Nevis. What a delight to return from a long exhausting hike to the welcoming & very comfortable beds at the rear of the vehicle - fabulous. The following day we drove to Kyle of Lochalsh where we picked up a rental car from Kyle Taxis - speak to Kenny, he allowed us to overnight the Motorhome in his Garage Yard at no cost whilst we tackled the Bealach na Bàto Applecross. We travelled clockwise which we found spectacular - too many switchbacks & a steep climb to even think of doing this in the MotorHome.Overnighted at Hartfield House & took supper at Applecross Inn - great food, especially the Langoustines which were fresh from the bay - don’t miss but be sure to book in advance. Note: Hartfield House is listed as a hostel, but it’s definitely at the superior end of hostels and each room is self-contained.The following day we completed the circle back to Kyle but not before talking lunch at the pretty little town Shieldaig (Shieldaig Coastal Bar & Kitchen). A worthy stop - good food and view - before continuing on and taking in a spectacular view to the Torridon Mountains. OMG! Drop dead out of the world! Back in Kyle and glad to be back in the MotorHome (yeah, we really loved it at this point). We overnighted at Auchtertyre Farm where we took on water and got rid of some waste (a tenner well spent). Wonderful place. We were the only ones there. No electrical hook up here but all good as we were able to go remote, that is until we tried to use the control panel. We struggled and struggled - thank God for that hot water bottle I brought (only one though but my niece looked super warm in a sleeping bag she had brought. A call to Paul the following morning didn’t quite solve the issue (he’s got a broad Scottish accent) however we finally managed to work it all out. [ A quick note: a simple laminated instruction card would have sorted this so hopefully you’ll now find one in the van, demonstrating how to use the control panel.]Breakfast, and headed up the NC500 on the A890 to Achnasheen, then left onto the A832 to the Beinn Eighe National Reserve where we took a short hike. Another great view of the Torridon Mnts on the A832 - these mountains really do have to be seen to be believed. At Beinn Eighe we parked in the designated car park - there was a notice saying it wasn’t suitable for large motorhomes, but there wasn’t much traffic (early in the season I suppose) so had no issues. Be aware these roads we were on go from good roads to single track - it’s a big beast on these roads but the van handled well & fortunately there were enough passing places that we never once had to back up (phew!), and by now I was fairly confident with the vehicle. A few more short stops on our way up to Guinard Beach were we wild camped in the van for the night. [ Don’t miss Gairloch Beach on the way - spectacular beach (and good parking). ]Guinard Bay - what a place to wake up in. This is where a MotorHome comes into its own. You can’t buy views like this. Wow! Wow! Wow!  After breakfast we began our journey back continuing along the A832 to the A835. On route we stopped at the Corrieshalloch Gorge - really worth taking a moment to take in this deep tear in the rocks, truly fabulous! We then headed to Dingle and overnighted in Pitlochry before heading back to Penicuik and delivering what we now thought of as our home to Robin.

Gabriel es un cliente de 5 estrellas! Es muy amable y ha mantenido muy bien el coche. Lo recomiendo a todos y le agradezco su alquiler.

It was a great adventure and very good time. The vehicle is fully operational, everything works fine. Jose and Mame are very helpful and give great tips for exploring Fuerteventura. I heartily recommend.

Ben and Louisa and Baby were a delight to deal with - they looked after Nellie well and everything in her and I would not hesitate to recommend this lovely couple to any renter on Yescapa. Thank you and hope to see you again!

We had a brilliant experience in Nellie for our trip with our 9 month old to North Wales. Very cosy in the bed and slept really well and lots of space in the back for our luggage. Fatima was the best host and couldn't be more helpful answering questions along the way and giving us a thorough check in and check out. The van itself was lovely to drive and felt super easy and no issues along the way. We can't wait to use her again for road trips in the future. Thanks to Fatima and Nellie x 

Very smooth and easy-going rental. We managed good communication and great organizational skills despite the last-minute booking. 

Camper super equipada y en perfectas condiciones. Todo genial!!! Recomendado 100%

Very friendly couple , everything went well 😊. Highly recommended people to rent out your RV. Thank you to look after our motorhome. Thank you and hope to see you again. Regards Andrea and John.

Daniel was grat to deal with. Good communication and the motorhome was returned on time and clean.

Super lovely couple, who took great care of my campervan and brought her back nice and clean. Would be great to see them again 🙂

Excellent - we had a very thorough and comprehensive introduction to the camper van.  It was very clean, well presented and in excellent condition, everything worked. 

Lovely couple. Looked after Betty very well! Sounded like they had an amazing trip. Would recommend! Thank you for being lovely renters 😁

Very good. Pamela at yescapa was helpful in answering my queries. Fabio was an excellent host and the camper van was great. We had a lovely holiday

I had the most amazing time exploring the island in Emiliano's van, it gave me the freedom to really explore and adventure. Pick up and drop-off were all sorted by Emiliano, he explained the hire and showed me all the workings of the van very clearly. I often "ate in", making good use of the fridge and camping stove, The bed was comfortable, and the van was easy to drive...even on Gran Canaria's many hairpin bends and twisting roads! Emiliano messaged midway through my trip and also the day before drop off. A really friendly and helpful man.

Marisol and her daughter have been super friendly and the communication was great. They took really care of the car and left it in mint conditions. I highly recommand them and wish to welcome them back soon. Thank you Marisol.

Very smooth rental and easy going .

Luke was very responsive and provided a personal handover which was really helpful to the novice camper. The van itself was great - brand new at the time and had all the creature comforts we could wish for. Beds very comfortable with linens provided. Would definitely reccomend. 

Great renter, Shaheed looked after our motorhome, kept to the agreed times for collection and return. We would definately hire to Shaheed again.

We absolutely loved our campervan experience with Blackie! It was the perfect way to work remotely while exploring beautiful Portugal. The owner Raul is really nice, providing us with useful information before starting our journey including a welcome video and recommendations for our trip - because of this, we were lucky to visit one of Europe's most beautiful beaches near Setubal, the popular surf town Ericeira and more. The van has everything we need to feel like a home away from home; including high-speed Wi-Fi, electricity, a portable stove, external shower & portable toilet, and a beautiful interior! One evening, our navigation led us to go off-road which led us to get stuck for 18+ hours on a sandy road, however, luckily Raul helped us immediately and it turned out as one of the best memories of our trip falling asleep under the full moon in the middle of nowhere and waking up with an amazing view! As a perfect end of our trip, we had the most romantic dinner with a beautiful ocean view (thank you Raul for the lovely wine!). I would highly recommend Raul and his van if you're looking for a unique and adventurous experience to explore Portugal for travel or while working remotely!

Best renter yet, my campervan has never been returned so clean.  They obviously took great care of her and I´m so pleased that they enjoyed their experience :)
