Very good experience, the van was perfect for our trip to Cornwall. Josh was very helpful, showed us the van secrets in and out before leaving and advised on where to go. Would do it again the exact same way

Gave the van a good run-out over a week in the Peak District, and it drove absolutely perfectly throughout - have no worries on that score if you're hiring. Very well-equipped, cooking utensils, stove etc. Van was comfortable and stylish, easy to arrange bed once you have the knack of removing the table. If you are hiring in hot weather then suggest you get a site with an electric hookup to power fridge. Caroline and her partner were very friendly and helpful, quick to answer questions. Have no complaints at all really, 100% recommend. No photos to add only because I am rubbish at taking photos.

Very good service from John. Motorhome in great condition and was perfect for 4 lads and a load of golf gear for a trip around Scotland. John was the other end of the phone all week for any questions as it was our first time in a motorhome. Would definitely recommend.

It was great to meet Shad and his partner and hear all about their amazing adventure with Alexis. They even had great Scottish weather! I'd be delighted to welcome them back anytime.

Had a fantastic experience touring north of Scotland. Van in great condition and drives well. Owners could not have been more professional, taking the time to explain fully all of the workings of the van. Very nice people and a pleasure doing business with. Will definitely rent from them again if the opportunity arises. Thank you !!!

We hired Daisy (the 70s VW camper) and headed into the Northern Highlands. Paul and Beth were the most friendly, helpful people. They gave excellent advice on day 1 about how to get the most out of the van and out of Scotland, and they were available to be contacted about even the most trivial questions relating to the van at all hours. The van was in absolute pristine condition when we picked it up. Although the van is now obviously several decades old, it is simple enough to drive and you can cover a great distance in it (we clocked over 900 miles in 4 days in it, and even drove it over a mountain and through Edinburgh and Glasgow at their busiest times all without issue) and you don’t find yourself missing the kind of conveniences you may think a more modern van would be able to give you (indeed, it has been updated with a few modern features such a Bluetooth radio, fridge and solar panel etc.). The whole experience is fantastic – wherever we drove, the van received endless love from those we passed by, with people were turning their heads to look and wave at us. The Highlands themselves are a vast playground of astonishing beauty. Be careful with fees though – We booked via Yescapa.com and paid for 5 days hire (rather than 4 nights) however, in effect, this turned out to only be 4 days as the van was only available from 12 oclock on day 1 and needed to be returned by 12 on the final day. Despite this, we ended up returning the van a couple of hours late and were charged an additional half day’s fee (£60). We were also charged a small additional fee for the insurance due to our relatively young age. Although it is (I believe) a family run business, don’t think it is any different to hiring from large companies – additional fees can escalate if you are not careful. Nevertheless, we had the best experience in Scotland with Daisy and we would thoroughly recommend it to anyone. We are both very grateful to Beth and Paul for giving us the chance to experience something we will look back on very fondly for a long, long time.

Peter was a very helpful and informative owner, making the whole process easy. Minty was a pleaure to drive and we enjoyed taking her on a trip around Devon. Minty was well stocked up with all the necessities needed for a trip away. Would highly recommend and will be booking minty again!

We really enjoyed using Gavin's van. It was clean and ready for us and very well equipped. Gavin was very friendly and helpful and responded immediately to one query that I had. I would definitely recommend.

Liz was very friendly and helpful, she answered all questions quickly and made suggestions we hadn't thought off! She had the van serviced in advance of our hire and was very diligent with all the paperwork. The van is in excellent condition and is exactly as pictured. We had a great trip to the east coast with our two young kids and were grateful of the drive away awning and emergency toilet Liz supplied which was a bonus! We would hire Liz's van again without any hesitation!
