Rented this lovely t25 from Robert -- Had literally everything you could have wanted in. He was a pleasure to hire from, picked me up and dropped me off at the closest tube station. Threw in a huge tent that should have been extra to rent, when he realised that we had more people than expected. All round brilliant service, easy to hire from and the van is a beauty. I used to own a t25 and wish mine was in the condition this one was in. First class

I hired Henry for a short weekend break as a surprise for my girlfriends birthday.
We had a fantastic time.
Andrew, the owner, provided everything (and more) that we needed.
He sorted everything out and did a thorough introduction to the van and its features. He even took me on an initial "round the block" drive to get used to how the van drives.
Henry has a bit of ongoing minor interior fabrication work. But that all that adds to the charm of driving this unique, quirky and fantastic campervan.

Henry's ready to go!

Had a great 4 night trip in Jarvie. We enjoyed every minute of it. The owners of the van were lovely and thorough, putting us at ease. Just a beautiful van that deserves to be looked after well. Ben the dog came to which made our trip even better.

We had a great time with Peppermint. We enjoyed variable weather in Yorkshire; wet, wetter and torrential, but Peppermint did us proud, even coping with two adults, two teenagers, one child and a small dog sleeping in her on the last and wettest night.... brilliant - will definitely do it again, any sunshine could only be a bonus!! Paul
Peppermint is very well stocked with all necessary equipment, which made family catering very easy. Liz
The best bit was sleeping in the roof space - I really loved that. Evie (6)
No, the best bit was making bacon sandwiches in a lay-by - watching the cyclists battling uphill in the rain! Erin (13)
I quite enjoyed sleeping on the floor with my legs between the front seats and my head under Mum and Dads bed on the last night! Izaak (14 and full of irony)
I was alright, snuggled between them on their sleeping bag. Ghillie (the dog)

On May 26th we arrived at Heathrow airport and there came campervan Sidney swirling around the corner, driven by owner Sue. What a lovely sight! After quickly having stowed our luggage in the rear of the van, we drove off to a nearby petrol station for a coffee and instructions – nothing too difficult by the way. As long as you treat Sidney like the grand old lady she is (“be gentle with her, give her a twenty minute rest every 70 miles or so”) you will enjoy her tremendously. As we did on our one week tour around a fair bit of UK’s lovely countryside. We found out much to our joy that campervan owners or people who rent them, all greet one another when they drive by. And whenever we parked Sidney somewhere to do some sightseeing or shopping, we immediately had people gathering around her, inspecting her and – yes!- even caressing her. We’d be asked if she was easy to drive, if she could really accommodate four of five people (yes she can, provided you’re talking two adults and three children up till the age of let’s say 10 to 12 years of age), etc., etc. In short, we had a wonderful time touring with Sidney, especially seeing that the weather wasn’t always what we had hoped for. Lovely to sit inside the van when it’s raining, just reading a good book while sipping a nice coffee or tea which you’ve just made on the two-pitter. And knowing you don’t have to worry about a leaking tent or clothes getting damp.

Good to know: if you drive around in the hills a lot as we did, Sidney will do 8 kilometres per liter unleaded petrol (or 23 miles per gallon). And you will go only in low gears on steep slopes. But hey, what else can you expect from this very good looking, grand old lady! You’ll simply have to adjust to her age and personality.

It pretty much rained the whole time we were in Norfolk for half term (mon- fri). But we loved staying in boogie nights (77 VW Camper) loaned by hannah and simon -- (friendly and helpful). So much so in fact we are now looking to buy our own camper!

We hired Wendy for a long weekend at the Isle of Wight. It was our first time campervanning and I wont lie, the first 24 hours was a steep learning curve. Once we knew what we were doing we could relax into the holiday and had a wonderful time. Carrying our kitchen with us was liberating. We could park up at beautiful spots and still have a hot delicious lunch without the heavy tourist price tags. The kids had loved sleeping on the top bunk and hammock. I shall have enduring memories of the kids feeding the ducks from Wendys boot. The lady who hired Wendy to us was a great source of advice and very helpful. She is clearly passionate about campervans and it is infectious. My hubby and I will be looking closely t campervans for future holidays.

I wanted to attach a review for you and Sydney but wasnt sure how to put it onto the site. Can I leave it with you here - I have also attached a photo of Sydney amongst the tents of the other boys at the camp out! - Deborah.



When we first saw Sydney we knew she would be perfect for our first father and sons camp out at Papplewick School in Ascot. The idea of a tent was not one that was to be entertained - Sydney with all her mod cons was much more up our street.
Sydney arrived at the camp out to applause from the fathers and intrigue from the other boys. She was soon nestled proudly amongst a sea of tents and settled in for an evening of burgers, marshmallows, camp fire songs and games of football. Lights out at 11.00 with two little boys and one tired dad only to be woken at 7.00 the next morning by another game of football! Sydney was a joy and we were so pleased she was able to join us for the weekend - we will be booking her for next year!

We hired Harvey last week for 4 days. He was a fab van with really smart bodywork and an amazing interior which was really comfortable. It was a real last minute booking as another camper van co had let me down so I did really appreciate the owner accommodating us. -

We hired Apricot... Pre service was very good and helpful although on the day collection was a bit more difficult as the van was not quite ready and the roof had issues etc. We also had to complete all the paperwork again we had already done on line which if I had known, we could have printed off and taken with us.

The van was nicely presented although had its challenges driving it, but of course thats because of its design etc.

I would use the servie again as the owner was helpful and enthusiastic.

We hired Percy. We went to Fairfield farm near Eastbourne. The camper van was brilliant, me, my husband and daughter had the best weekend ever. Campervan had everything we needed ans more. The owners were lovely to deal with . Would definitely recommend to everyone.

We hired the 1988 Devon Eurovette High-top camper van and had an absolutely fantastic time. The van drove beautifully - presumably because it only had 65,000 miles on the clock - and fuel consumption was good (as long as you stick to a relaxed 55 60mph).
Rob, the vans owner, was incredibly nice and had no qualms with us ringing up for any queries. He gave a thorough run down of how to use the van and all its equipment before we left. I of course immediately forgot all instructions, but it was easy enough to work out and we had no problems at all!
The bed was comfy and with a full tank of gas provided the fridge could be kept running even when we stopped off with no electricity.
All in all, a lovely way to explore the Cornish countryside in the rain and a fantastic experience. We will certainly use this van again.

Too cool!

My friends and I had an amazing time during a long Easter weekend.
The van is a real eye turner.
Very fun experience, some other friends were jealous and have since hired one for themselves!

Van in camp grounds

We loved having Jack for the weekend – a bucket list experience! He was every bit as fun as we expected and got lots of people staring at the campsite. Having the attached tent was brilliant given the horrendous weather as we could store everything in the tent and our girls could sleep there (even though they thought they should have jack!) Jill was great in meeting us at a convenient point beginning and end and was really warm and welcoming as she handed over her pride and joy!

Also re Camperbug it was great to have the ability to search so easily in terms of location and availability.

My partner and I have just returned from a lovely weekend with Belle. She was fantastic, really clean and well presented. As Camperbug virgins we were a little nervous about making our maiden voyage but as soon as we set off we had a smile on our face that did not leave until we dropped her back on Sunday. Definitely bitten by the VW campervan bug and looking forward to booking our next trip. Would definitely recommend.

Hi,

We hired Freddie from Amanda and Chris and, thanks to their comprehensive instruction guide, had absolutely no problems with the van all week. The weather in Norfolk was not so kind with plenty of wind and rain to remind us why we had made a good decision to use teh van and not pitch a tent !! Freddie was reliable, adaptable, well equipped and we were sorry to hand him back - we definitely recommend him to others !!

We had a fantastic trip to East Sussex in Wanda. She was a delight to drive - the kids absolutely loved the experience. Our youngest even asked if we could sell our house in order to buy Wanda!! Wanda was fully equipped with everything you could need for a weekend away. We loved it!
