Reviews for Campervan Dougie

Could not have wanted a better first time campervan rental Silv the owner and husband could not do enough to help us. They were flexible and attention to detail in the booking process was excellent. The van itself was spotless, wonderfully kitted out and lovely to drive. Definitely book this van

I cannot speak highly enough of the whole experience, from the initial booking request on here, to receiving our deposit back within 24 hours, everything was just perfect and we couldnt have asked for anymore. Its clear how loved and looked after Duggie is and Im sure he will be for years to come, he was the most perfect travel companion and 4th member of our family for our trip away. Richard gave us a really detailed run through of all the features and its surprising just how many features can be squeezed into the van From a fridge-freezer, to comfy memory foam mattress in the pop top roof and a fully stocked kitchen gas stove all of this was so simple to use and everything came in handy throughout our trip. Whilst away we wanted to the electrical hook-up and within 5 minutes of messaging Silv, Richard had phoned me and explained how to get connected, such good service. He drives like an absolute dream and were looking forward to taking Duggie to more places in the. We cant wait to have him again. Please keep him well looked after and give him all the love and attention he deserves.

Overall a fantastic experience. We hired Duggie for two nights to take the kids away on a bit of an adventure. Silv and Richard were great, with excellent communication and very helpful. The van was spotlessly clean when we collected and has everything you need for a fun filled few nights away. Would highly recommend hiring Duggie as the experience provided by Silv and Richard was second to none. Thanks

My wife and I hired Duggie for 5 nights in July for a tour of the south coast through Dorset and Devon. We had the most fantastic time and would highly recommend him.Prior to our trip, communication with Silvana was swift and simple. She sorted all the paperwork and was a pleasure to deal with. When it came to picking up the van, we were given a thorough overview by her partner, Richard. This was our first time hiring a campervan, but Richards clear instructions left us feeling assured.Duggie has been converted to a high standard. He is immaculately clean, comfortable and practical. He comes with almost everything you need for a comfortable few nights camping. When you are on the move, he is safe and easy to drive.Returning the van was also a breeze, having arranged a suitable time to drop him off Silvana was quick to return our security deposit.All in all, we are delighted that we made the decision to hire Duggie and would highly recommend that you do the same.

As a small party travelling to Leeds festival we decided to treat ourselves and hire a campervan. Rather than dealing with tents the thought of having a solid secure digs in which to sleep and chill out was very appealing. As was the prospect of having the ability to make a cup of tea or coffee so the van needed to have a small stove to boil water on.We stumbled across the Camperbug site, which was excellent, and trawled the vast array of vans available. We eventually settled on Duggie. A cracking van located near Essex and East London border.We found Duggies owners, Silvana and Richard, a pleasure to deal with who kept us well informed every step of the way. As this was our first time hiring a van we were slightly nervous but they were very reassuring regarding driving and using Duggie. When we picked him up we were given a very thorough demonstration of how to transform Duggie from a comfortable, spacious easy to drive vehicle for motorway travel into a very practical 4 berth home from home.Duggie is a relatively recent conversion and as a result all fixtures and fittings within are pristine and worked faultlessly. That said, its obvious when speaking to them that Silvana and Richard both care about Duggie and I suspect, new conversion or not, Duggie will continue to be maintained to a high standard no matter how old he gets. The pop-up lid allows for much appreciated headroom when required and doubles as a top bunk with memory foam mattress that comfortably sleeps two. Below is a compact 2-ring gas burner and tap to provide cold water from an on-boardtank. The back seats and rear parcel shelf convert into another comfortable bed. Theres also a very nice, clean fridge with small freezer compartment. Its a well thought out and well executed configuration.Duggie comes well stocked and there are plenty of plates, pots, pans, cups, cutlery etc. available to keep everyone fed and watered. Theres also a nice wind-out awning that provides a decent shade above the side door which turned out to be a real bonus considering the temperatures that were reached that weekend.Although we didnt know Duggie very long he was an instant hit, quickly becoming a best friend to our group. He gave us somewhere comfy to sit and sleep and looked after our belongings when we ventured off. He kept our gadgets charged and our wine chilled. I would not hesitate to book Duggie again and would like to thank Silvana, Richard and Duggie for making our festival experience much more enjoyable as a result.

I can only speak positively of our holiday in Duggie. It was our first outing in a Campervan as a family of four. We expected it to be snug, which it was but from pick up to drop off the owners were accommodating and easy to deal with. I would definitely recommend both Duggie and a holiday in a Campervan (even in the rain)
