We had the most wonderful adventure with Matilde, the beautiful green campervan! From start to finish, the whole experience was seamless and so much fun. Chris made the booking simple and welcoming, and the handover was efficient with a quick guide of the essentials and sharing of useful information and , Matilde was clean and well-equipped, and ready to go. I took her up to the Lake District with my two children and our dog, and she truly felt like a cozy home on wheels. The kids loved having their own little space, and we were amazed at how cleverly everything was laid out — plenty of room for all of us without ever feeling cramped. Even Lucy out dog settled right in! Driving Matilde was a dream: smooth, reliable, and surprisingly easy to handle on those skinny winding Lake District roads. Every stop was an adventure — waking up to mountain views, cooking breakfast by the lakeside, and having the freedom to explore without worrying about where we’d stay. Matilde made our trip unforgettable. She’s not just a campervan, she’s a character in the story — and we’ll definitely be booking her again for our next family adventure. Highly, highly recommended!

Tutto perfetto! Chris è un proprietario attento e molto disponibile ad ogni esigenza. CamperVan utilizzato per girare le Highlands scozzesi ed abbiamo sfruttato tutta la sua "indipendenza"; infatti la capacità contenitiva del serbatoio di carico dell' acqua, la capacità contenitiva del wc ma soprattutto i pannelli solari ci hanno permesso di non dipendere da strutture ricettive (tipo camping), con un notevole risparmio e soprattutto con tutta la libertà che un viaggio in camper dovrebbe avere. Consigliatissimo August 2025

We had such a brilliant weekend in Mathilde! The campervan had everything we needed for our little family of four – thoughtfully equipped, comfortable, and super cosy. It was an absolute dream to sleep in, with blackout blinds that meant no early wake-ups (a real treat with young kids!). Despite not having an electric hook-up at our campsite, the van’s power supply lasted the whole long weekend with no issues – the gas cooker and electrics worked perfectly. Chris was fantastic to deal with – friendly, responsive, and offered a great selection of extras that made things even easier. We’d absolutely recommend Mathilde to anyone looking for a stress-free campervan experience. Already planning our next trip! July 2025

We had the best time exploring Cornwall with Mathilde The Mighty! She’s comfy, super well-equipped, and perfect for a family road trip. Chris was amazing — really helpful and easy to deal with. Would definitely book again! July 2025

Host was amazing. My kids and I had an amazing weekend using this camper! Supplied everything we needed! Everything was just smooth and easy from the original booking to return of the van! March 2025

We experienced a number of issues with this rental. First the owner gave us a different, much older campervan to the one we booked. He didn't arrange the insurance. There are no seat belts in the back as advertised. The campervan is so old and the steering is hard work. The horn kept beeping randomly. There was a dirty looking quilt and a pillow stuffed in the roof. We messaged the owner about all this but he hasn't responded. All in all, a very unpleasant and expensive experience. October 2023
Response from Christopher Hi, I'm sad to have seen this review. The different older van was offered to you because the one you had booked had unfortunately had some mechanical issues. This is something that does happen from time to time with campervans and even with the regular servicing and checks my campers go through, sometimes it can't be helped. You were offered a refund or an alternative van and you choose the van. I'm very confused about the not arranging insurance comment, I have annual self drive hire policies for all my campers and I have done for 4 years now so I can only think you are referring to my repeated unanswered requests for the necessary documents I needed from the driver. I have to get certain documents that my insurance requires for every rental. This is no different from any car rental, you have to provide certain documents. There are seatbelts in the back, they are under the seat. There was 2 of you and you never asked me about the rear seatbelts otherwise I would have told you where they were. Did you need them? Why have you commented this if you didn't need them or ask me for them? The van is a classic VW camper, it has no power steering as is common for these, I told you what van it was when you choose to take it instead of a refund. I did not receive any message from you about the horn, when I sent a message checking in with you guys to see if everything was ok your message said this "Takes some getting used to… steering is a bit stiff. But ok! Thanks". If you had told me about the horn we could have worked out a solution. I haven't had anyone have issues with it though so I don't know what was happening. You have claimed that I haven't responded to your messages about this but you didn't send anything to me after the rental and the only comment you made was the one above so I don't know why you have said this.

We recently hired Bonnie for a short trip to France via the euro shuttle and stayed at a campsite, everything was perfect and all basics provided including gas cooker, cooking equipment and various blankets/rugs. Chris was very accomodating around pick up/drop off times and also allowing us to bring our small dog. We had a great time & would definitely hire Bonnie again! Thanks for everything Chris, much appreciated. July 2024

The camper van was fantastic! Loved it and it being an automatic made life easier. Couldn’t recommend Chris and his VW campervan enough, Hopefully, we get to use it again. May 2024

Chris is super helpful and answered all our questions. Crafty Fredrick was amazing to us for us a family of 4 and had all we could ever need. I would use it again in the future. June 2023

We absolutely loved traveling with Chris's van! It's big enough for two people and has everything that's needed inside. Also, Chris is very nice and flexible, absolutely hope to rent it again! May 2023

We had the best time in Chris's converted Belingo. It was perfect size for small Devon roads and was very well equipped as we had none of our own camping equipment, it's really simple to convert from bed to chairs and back again. We'd definitely recommend! August 2022

We really enjoyed our holiday with Chris' Bonnie. The camper was cleverly set up and had everything it needed for a relaxed vacation. The car had a few broken spots - but nothing a Duct Tape couldn't handle. Chris was very nice, accommodating and straightforward. August 2021

We had a fantastic time exploring with Bonnie! The space was just right for my fiancè and I. Chris was friendly, helpful and flexible with pick up times too. Thank you! August 2021

Loved having Bonnie for the week! The car was the perfect size for a Devon/Cornwall road trip with the narrow roads. An easy drive with no issues. The van is very well equipped with a gas cooker, all the utensils, loads of storage, and camper chairs/table. The van is also easy to set up for sleeping and dining. The collection from Chris was seamless and he was flexible with pickup / drop off times. Highly recommend this hire. July 2021

I absolutely loved hiring Frieda. The experience was great fun and the van worked absolutely fine and was so cosy to stay in. There was a minor rush to get documents over for the insurance last minute but I believe this was just a one off due to busy schedules and was all sorted in the end. Chris was great in being available on WhatsApp or for calls in case I had any worries. He walked me through everything I needed to know e.g the fridge, the stove and how to put out the bed. We also went on a test drive which was really helpful as well. A good experience overall! October 2020
