I cannot fault the service from David at Lovely Campervans or the campervan we booked, we were very impressed and will definitely book again! August 2025

David, a very pleasant person to speak too and very knowledgable when providing information to a newbie like me. Had a great time, but next time will hire a bigger vehicle as this one was way too snall for the three of us. A massive thankyou. August 2025
Natasha Natasha
Great experience. Loved our week in Cornwall and David was super helpful and easy to contact. Campervan was clean and very well equipped. Would absolutely rebook with David. June 2025
Britt Britt
Davids campervan was amazing, exactly as presented in the advert. It was fully equipped with all you might need during your trip. David was very easygoing, professional and very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend to rent one of his vans and good to hear that we’ve helped him to some good music too. Thanks once again :-) June 2025

David was amazing it taking me through all the details of the van prior to me going on my trip. The van was in excellent condition and the family loved the experience. I would definitely rent a campervan from him again! June 2025

We had a fantastic experience with this camper van! It was absolutely lovely, equipped with everything we needed for a smooth and comfortable trip. David was incredibly communicative throughout the process, making sure all our questions were answered. The drop-off and return were effortless, adding to the overall convenience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a hassle-free camper van rental. May 2025

Fantastic motorhome. Amazing communication throughout and was so accommodating to all our needs. As a family we had a wonderful time and came back looking forward to booking the vehicle again. Couldn't have been any better!!! August 2024

James James
Another wonderful trip with lovely Campervans the van was great and just the space we needed for our NC500 road trip. Would highly recommend! August 2024
Response from David Hi James thank you for the review. It was a pleasure to hire my van to you and lovely to see evidence of the amazing places you have been to. You may well see some of these on our website! I hope to see you back sometime. Best wishes David

Had everything we asked for and was great for our 5 days away. David the owner was so helpful and always quick to response to any messages. August 2024
Geoff Geoff
Great experience all round. From the start David was easy to communicate with and never more so than at the handovers. Whilst the vehicle was different to that booked it was newer and very similar throughout. The bed arrangement was the most obvious change and at first a little concerning. In order to give much more storage space the bed was raised. However it was not a problem and we are in our seventies. The camper was very comfortable, well equipped and enough space for the two of us. Our first time in a camper turned out to be exactly what we had hoped for. Great to turn up on site in the rain and all that had to be done was connect the electric. David made the whole experience a pleasure. July 2024
Sally Sally
The camper van was spot on, we had it for a long weekend at Glastonbury and it was perfect for our needs as a group of 3 adults. David was great, and very accommodating with earlier pick up and later drop off. We were given a little tour of the van before hitting the road which was very helpful, and David was very responsive to messages. Thank you again for letting us use your lovely van, hopefully see you again soon! 😊 July 2024

A week or so before our arrival in the UK from South Africa, another campervan company dropped us, and we urgently needed to make a plan. We found David's campervan on Goboony, and I am so glad we did! The campervan was spotless, looked, felt and drove like it was brand new. David went out of his way to get a few final requests sorted out, without any fuss. His communication and explanation and tips were excellent, and everything went so well. The campervan was surprisingly economical, and the electric/battery/gas set up was just perfect. This was our first campervan holiday (to Scotland), and we will certainly do it again! If in the UK, we will have no hesitation to contact David again! May 2024
Tarlie Tarlie
David was a great host and looked after us very well. He kept in contact throughout the journey. The vans themselves are a great spec and layout for a busy family of 4 and a couple. Highly recommend. We spent two weeks heading up to the outer islands of Scotland and they felt reliable and that they had everything we need to be in a campsite and off grid. May 2024
Vaughan Vaughan
The motorhome was in very good condition and David took the time to show us how to work the various things (to get a headstart I also watched his excellent You Tube handover video). I would definitely hire from David again, although in our case after such an enjoyable trip in the van we are now in the process of buying one! November 2023
Miranda Miranda
Wish I could give 10/10 because our experience was superb. David was super helpful (changed our dates late, no problem) quick to respond to texts. Pick up/drop off was seamless. David's run through before we set of was friendly, relaxed & informative. We left on our first ever campervan holiday feeling confident. Came home a day early, only because of Storm Babet! The change was accommodated by David without any issue. He's a gem folks - if you want to hire a really clean, all mod cons campervan... David is your man. We will definitely be returning next year. Thanks David October 2023
Simon Simon
This was our first time in a camper van and we had a great time. The van was ideal. Well equipped and easy to drive. David was at all times extremely helpful. We would thoroughly recommend giving it a go! October 2023
Lawrence Lawrence
David is a helpful host and nothing was too much trouble. The van was great and we had a fabulous time. Handover both ways was seamless. Payments were easy and secure. Would definitely recommend 👍 September 2023
Janice Janice
Was a little small for 2 people especially as one of us was over 6ft tall so sleeping was a challenge. The van drove really well and was comfy for both driver and passenger. David was great and explained everything really well so we had no issues with anything at all. September 2023
Amanda Amanda
Fantastic experience in David’s lovely Camper Van, the van was clean, well equipped and had every thing we needed. David took time to explain how everything worked in the van and was on hand if we needed to ask any further questions whilst we were away. I would thoroughly recommend you hire from David, you will not be disappointed, thank you so much August 2023
Shaun Shaun
Absolutely loved our trip in davids van. The van was brand new and spotless .He was a perfect host and would recommend anyone to rent a motorhome off him . It was perfect for our boardmasters trip for the week and down to Cornwall. Many thanks David. August 2023

It is our second time with David. The motorhome was clean and in perfect condition. Everything went smooth. And he is always very helpful. Looking forward for the third time! April 2023
Manpreet Manpreet
Throughout our experience, David proved to be highly adaptable. The motorhome he provided was effortless to maneuver, making for a stress-free driving experience. In addition, David's customer service was exceptional, leading me to wholeheartedly recommend him for anyone planning a trip. During our European road trip, driving the motorhome was an absolute joy, providing endless fun and excitement. Without a doubt, I will be turning to David for my next expedition, and I encourage others to do the same. April 2023
Andrea Andrea
The Campervan we rented from David was in excellent order and David could not have been more helpful coming out to us when we had an issue with the TV. We thoroughly enjoyed our time away in the Campervan and would most certainly recommend him and his vehicles to anyone wishing to have an adventure in a Campervan. November 2022
Anna Anna
We had a fantastic time, we hired Davids Campervan and drove around the NC500 plus a few extra roads on the way up and down, it was a lovely holiday and David was so easy going and helpful, if you are thinking about making the booking do it, and I would highly recommend David his Campervan was perfect, tidy, clean and well kitted out. Thank you. Anna September 2022
Diane Diane
Very friendly, excellent service throughout. David very kindly allowed us to pick up the van earlier and return it at a later time and was quick to respond to queries. We would definitely recommend. Many thanks David. September 2022
Susan Susan
Great experience using this company. This was our first time and David made the whole experience very easy for us and was very helpful when I was planning our trip. Highly recommend. July 2022
Gary Gary
The Campervan was very clean and had all the amenities we expected. The owner David was a super friendly and helpful guy, we had really good experience in hiring/returning the van. High recommended! April 2022
Rosemary Rosemary
Having never lived in a campervan before, the experience became a learning curve . The van was well equipped and the sharp knife was indeed sharp ! I cooked most days and can honestly say I had everything I needed to put a meal together. The bed was comfortable my only issue was storage.. the wardrobe was my food store but that was just us being virgin campers and not a complaint about the van. All in all we enjoyed our two weeks in David’s van and wouldn’t hesitate rented from him again, thank you September 2021
Paul Paul
Communicating with David was great Hand over was straight forward A lovely camper van to drive and to stay in Return was again very straight forward Will hire from again and recommend to family and friends September 2021
Jaime Jaime
We had a fantastic week in Wales in David’s campervan. It was perfect for our trip with our son and our dog. The van is kitted out with everything you need and David was extremely helpful, both before the hire and on collection/drip-off, in giving us advice and agreeing to adjust our dates. Couldn’t recommend his vans enough - they’re great. September 2021
John John
David’s communications were speedy, comprehensive and clear. The vehicle was as expected with no problems or issues. Would definitely hire from David again. August 2021
Fiona Fiona
great camper, super comfortable - a few minor broken bits - door knobs and fridge interior but nothing that would spoil usage August 2021
J J
We enjoyed our holiday using this campervan. It's very easy to drive and was very convenient for our journey. Thank you David. August 2021
James James
Van was great, nice and clean drove very nicely and was a wonderful get away. Took it all around the outer Hebrides and Scotland and enjoyed it greatly. Only slight grumbles where the van was not a brand new van as promised (not owners fault, due to pandemic) and the gas lighter on the fridge did not work during the trip, so we could not use the fridge off grid. This was not too much of an issue for us as we where hooked up to electric every night but if we had been wild camping it could have been an issue. Other than that very minor quibble it was great, would highly recommend David and Lovely Campervans. August 2021
Steve Steve
The motor home was clean and tidy. There were no mechanical problems and David was very helpful. August 2021
Zoe Zoe
David was our knight in shining armour, renting us his very well appointed camper at extremely short notice in July. He was very flexible with collection and drop-off, gave us really clear instructions (we were complete novices) and the camper itself was perfect. I can’t think of a single thing we needed that wasn’t provided. Highly recommend. Thank you, David! August 2021
John John
Great experience .everything went well with the whole process with David would recommend . August 2021
Tony Tony
Had a great week in David’s campervan, easy to organise the hire, and smooth pick up and drop off process. Would definitely recommend, a really great way to tour around July 2021
Thomas Thomas
David was a smashing owner to rent from no issues whatsoever very responsive to any queries I had would recommend to anyone 👌🏼😊 July 2021
Lindsey Lindsey
We have just returned from doing the NC500 in one of Davids wonderful campervans, and it was perfect. The van was immaculate, with a design that made our 11 days on the road very comfortable. This size of the van was ideal for the single track roads we faced, as larger vehicles cannot travel on the most scenic routes. David was very accomodating from the get-go; This was our first experience of renting a motorhome. We were grateful for the clear instructions and advice and that we could contact him if we had any queries. Nothing was too much trouble, and we would not hesitate to recommend Davids campervans, and we look forward to renting again from him soon. July 2021
Nataly Nataly
Very userfriendly campervan. Very nice drive even on smalll coutryside toad. Video online self explanatory. David was very nice and helpful we would definitely recommend him and use his campervan for another adventure! May 2021
Tony Tony
The motorhome was a great base for my wife and I to enjoy the outdoor world. Definitely would rebook. May 2021
Michael Michael
This is the second time we've hired from David and I can't say enough good things about both David and his campers. David is friendly, helpful and accommodating. His vans are really well equipped and are comfortable, easy to drive and great for exploring in. We managed a family of four and our dog for a week and we were happy. Unlimited mileage is a real bonus. Thanks again David see you again I'm sure! April 2021
James James
The Van was brilliant, far exceeded expectations and was great for a couple of weeks in the Highlands. David was very quick to respond and incredibly helpful. November 2020
Lorna Lorna
Myself, my husband, 2 children and our dog had a lovely week in the Lake District in David's campervan at October half term. The van was new and spotlessly clean and had everything we needed to cook etc. We stayed warm and comfortable during what turned out to be a cold and wet week! David was really helpful and gave us a detailed video explaining how everything worked on board - he was also available to call should we have any issues. We would definitely hire a van from David again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others. November 2020
Paul Paul
thoroughly enjoyed our motor home experience, so much so we have purchased one since. David was very easy to deal with and the van was lovely as the name suggests. We toured through central England and the North Wales coast. Highly recommended 👌 September 2020
Saba Saba
I can't recommend David and their lovely camervans enough. This was our first experience and throughout the process David made it much better than we could ask for. The campervan itself was in a very clean and good condition and unexpectedly comfortable and easy to run. Memories to remember and a holiday to talk about in such unprecedented circumstances, all thanks to David and his lovely campervan. August 2020
Naomi Naomi
We had a fantastic time with our campervan. It was in perfect condition and very comfortable with pretty much everything we needed. David was great- flexible on collection/drop off times and really helped us when we had a problem. Would definitely recommend and hire from him again August 2020
Nerijus Nerijus
David has been very flexible to suit our needs. Fast communication, new camper van. 100% recommended!!! August 2020
Michelle Michelle
Can not recommend the campervan enough from David. Was such a great experience, the van was perfect condition, it had more space than expected and great storage facilities on it too! There is a really useful manual on board that makes using the van really easy, however David was great with communicating and was really understanding if we had any questions throughout the trip! Would highly recommend using Davids lovely camper’s and will be using again if we can in the future! August 2020
Zygimantas Zygimantas
David is a really friendly guy. As it was our first camper van experience , he showed us around and explained how everything works. Camper van it self had everything we needed during our trip, very easy to drive. June 2020
Response from David Hi Zygi Thank you for your review - much appreciated! Thank you for looking after the campervan. You are welcome back any time. Best wishes David
Annette Annette
David was a great person to deal with from the moment we requested a booking until we returned the camper. He was very accommodating with any requests and replied very promptly to any queeries we had. He even picked us up from the local train station when we arrived and drove us to the camper. The camper itself was perfect for our requirements, sleeping 3 adults, although at times it was a little squeezy as would be expected. On the road it performed well and wasn't too hard to manage on the narrow country roads. We would be very happy to hire from David again. Thankyou David it was a pleasure to use your camper. December 2019
Marion Marion
Really easy booking procedure. David answered all our questions quickly. Collecting the camper was straight forward, easy to find and good instruction on how everything worked. We have had bigger campers before but this one was perfect for 2 of us. Really liked the fact that you could keep the bed up during the day, great shower, easy to drive, good lighting. It was perfect , thank you. September 2019
Peter Peter
Very nice campervan with complete camping equipment and a nice layout. David is a pleasant owner, very flexible and quick to react. Highly recommended. July 2019
Andrew Andrew
David was very friendly and helpful. The van was spotlessly clean and in great condition. Would not hesitate to hire from David again. June 2019
Phillip Phillip
Brand new camper van in excellent condition. Had a couple of teething problems but David was excellent in resolving the issues. June 2019
Michael Michael
What a fantastic experience from start to finish. Booking was easy and clear. The camper itself was absolutely superb, low mileage, in immaculate condition and a pleasure to drive and camp in. David was fantastic, a really great host. Very accommodating and flexible. As campervan novices he took the time to show us around the camper and make sure everything was clear and explained. He was even on hand whilst we were away to answer my questions. Can't rate this gentleman and his camper highly enough, we will back and we will rent through David again. Thank you. April 2019
Mark Mark
Our motorhome was perfect for our needs and we loved it. David was great in helping us with orgainsing pick up etc and answered my emails immediately. Pick-up and drop off service at the train station was great. The motorhome had everything we needed, the bed was surprisingly very comfortable and the heating kept us very cosing at night. It could be helpful if the van had levelling ramps although we borrowed some from one campground and didn't need them at any others. Just a suggestion. We will definitely hire again from David on our next trip to the UK. October 2018
Andrew Andrew
We were very happy with our motorhome. There were only 2 of us so not sure how it would have been with 4. We liked the option of the permanent double bed at the rear. We weren't able to hook up over the 4 days as parked in a field at the 'Detectival' but the leisure battery lasted until we left and we had just enough water without refilling. We will probably book again for next year's event. September 2018
Glenn Glenn
Very nice van , less than a year old , they delivered it to our house as we lived nearby and was very flexible about drop off and pickup time. would certainly use again September 2018
Michael Michael
Excellent van, wonderful service. Couldn't fault the experience, flawless handover and very helpful. Thank you. September 2018

Wij hebben een fantastische vakantie gehad door Zuid- en Zuidwest Engeland met de campervan van David Bland, die wij via Goboony hebben gehuurd! De campervan was geweldig en heel mooi en schoon! Voor herhaling vatbaar! Nogmaals heel veel dank, David en Lizzy! xxx August 2018
Eric Eric
We had a great time driving through the UK with a lovely campervan from Lovely campers. Our first night was in the B&B at Lizzy and David Bland, the camper owner. Great place, lovely people, wonderful way to start a trip. David was throughout the trip helpful and caring, the van was brand-new and in top shape. We will be back, thanks so much Lizzy and David. August 2018
J J
David's friendly and efficient services were outstanding. In view of our long duration hire, he not only accommodated our request for an early pick-up ... he went to the trouble of delivering the MH to us some 60 miles from his depot. The MH was "brand new" and served us extremely well throughout the extensive trip we took through the West, North and East Coasts of Scotland [including the outer Hebrides]. We HIGHLY recommend David's services and will definitely book again should we need an MH in the UK. June 2018
Bob Bob
Great campervan,felt like a new one, our first experience in a campervan, surprised how economical, shame about the weather would recommend David and Lovely Campervans. April 2018
Betsy Betsy
This campervan of Lovely Campervans was indeed a lovely campervan!! Compact, perfectly fit for the narrow roads in the north, easy to drive and just enough space for 2!! David is a very friendly and helpful man, we really loved doing 'business' and having contact with him! Hope to redo everything in near future. September 2017
Ryan Ryan
Hiring and enjoying my camper was made really easy by David, me been a first timer he helped me along the way and was also on call at any given hour. Truly and A+ service. September 2017
Marie Marie
David's campervan was in great condition, very comfortable, well equipped and easy to drive. David kept in touch to make sure the pick up and drop off were smooth. Would book again. July 2017
Neil Neil
Great van, easy, flexible and reliable people to deal with. I didn't book the great weather to come with the van but it was included anyway ;o) thanks for a lovely camper van and a great holiday. Neil and Lisa July 2017
John John
My initial doubts about renting from Lovely Motorhomes was the late collection stated in the blurb as being from 4pm and dropping off by 10am, effectively losing almost a day rental. However, David was more flexible about picking up, and the camper was available earlier if we wanted, however, I think it ended up being 4pm anyway. The early drop meant me spending the last night in a lay-by, although that was my choice, rather than crossing from South East London in the Monday morning rush-hour. There was the option to drop off on the Sunday, which would have been useful and not an option with many rentals. The vehicle really was a "Lovely Motorhome" and we were really happy with it. The final gripe was the cleaning cost at around £80, which seemed excessive - but is probably a realistic cost. So overall, I would rent again from David, who was really affable and helpful. June 2017
Response from David We try to be as flexible as possible with the pick up and drop off times and they are priced into our rates. It does however give us the time to clean and prep vehicles if a previous booking ends on the same day as the next booking. But where possible we will fit in with our customers plans.
Dean Dean
Very happy with the motor home & the service we have had all around. Would recommend 😁 June 2017

David is een hele fijne verhuurder Het was makkelijk om afspraken te maken over de aflevering van de camper ook was de camperbus erg fijn om mee te rijden op de Smalle wegen in Engeland maar ook op de snelweg deed hij het erg goed Veel luxe en comfort aan boord en alles nieuw En goed werkend zeker een aanrader.
