Friendly and easy handover. Vehicle had a massive bed which is great! Would use again 👍
Lesley
Dave was a dream, everything you could want for a Campervan holiday!
Mel was lovely, very friendly and helpful.
We would certainly use Dave again, he even weathered the storm named after him!!!!
Many thanks to Mel and Keith for an amazing holiday
Mary
'Dave' is everything you need for a campervan holiday. He's confy and great to drive. These are the essential qualities and I didn't realise they were until I holidayed with 'Dave' and my elderly dog. Mel and Keith are warm, friendly people who really want you to have the best time in their van. I loved how there were items stored in the van I wouldn't have thought of bringing. I hope to hire 'Dave' again for more adventures.
Balazs
We took Dave up to Scotland, he was better then our expectations. Loved every minutes what we've been spent together with him. Nice and clean campervan, owners are very friendly, highly recommended! Balazs & Tia !)
Response from Melanie
So pleased you enjoyed your time away in Dave
Stacey
We have nothing but excellent things to say about our experience renting 'Dave' the van from Melanie. The handover was straightforward and covered all important information and details. The van itself was great to drive. Everything in the van is in excellent condition. Setting the bed up to sleep is super easy and we both slept really well.
It's the first time we've rented a van and would definitely do it again, as long as 'Dave' is available. 10/10 would recommend!!
Sam
We had a great experience travelling with “Dave”! Below we detail out experience travelling with this converted campervan.
**Highlights:**
- The king-size bed is plenty spacious. I’m 195cm tall and slept comfortably.
- The van has plenty of power and was able to handle steep 25% inclines.
- The gas oven is fantastic, we enjoyed delicious pizzas and quiches.
- The fridge works well and keeps everything cool. There is even a small freezer compartment.
- The toilet and shower with hot water are a real luxury.
- Heating works well, even though it doesn’t blow directly on the windows. In practice, this wasn’t an issue thanks to the window defroster.
- Comfortable seats and plenty of kitchen utensils.
- The many windows made it feel very spacious, even when we stayed in when it rained.
- Communication with Melanie was excellent. She’s kind, thoughtful, and welcomed us with a cup of tea – it felt very warm and personal.
**Things to be aware of:**
- Upon arrival, the overflow tray under the chemical toilet was full of urine. We had to clean it ourselves.
- One rear tyre was flat due to a loose valve, but this was fixed after noticing and before we continued our journey.
- I noticed the front tyres were worn before departure but didn’t mention it at the time. Later during the trip I told Melanie, and she promised to replace them right after our return – a very reassuring response.
- There is no gray waste tank. The water used in the sink and shower flows directly onto the ground.
**Tip for future renters:**
- Double-check that the front tyres have been replaced and inspect the toilet setup before heading off.
- Be sure to bring a sleeping mask to ensure a good night's sleep.
**Overall impression:**
“Dave” may be a bit cluttered in layout, but that adds to its charm. It’s well-equipped, comfortable, and reliable. Melanie’s care and responsiveness made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a cosy and capable campervan getaway!
Response from Melanie
Thanks for the kind review Sam. So pleased you enjoyed your time away in Dave.
Glad you felt all queries and concerns were dealt with and things for us to look out for, for future hires.
Many thanks
Mel & Keith
Monique
Melanie was so nice and Dave is a strong campervan with all you need. A huge bed and even an oven.
Thanks for everything!
Peter
Me and my girlfriend hired Dave for the weekend to go to Dubfest.
Van was nice and clean and had everything you needed with a nice homely feel to it.

We took Dave to Scotland for 2 weeks and it was the time of our lives. The owner Mel made the whole of difference, in my experience of hiring vans/cars you know there are always potential issues around every corner but having someone that can promptly help and be friendly makes such a difference. The campervan was comfortable, the bed was very large, the kitchen had everything you needed, the little fairy lights made it very cozy at night and we managed to get some insane views as you can see from the pictures. We'll never forget this holiday

This was the first time going on a trip in a camper van and I have to say it's not gonna be the last one. The handover of Dave was flawless, we unpacked and headed to Scotland in a matter of minutes while our car waited safely in Melanie's parking lot. Being the first experience for us there were some small hickups but Melanie was in constant contact and helped us with ideas. With a bit of on-line research you will eventually find absolutely all the answers to potential questions. There is a learning curve but once passed you will definitely feel like home. There is a surprising amount of storage, a gas stove and hob, a small kitchen sink and all the amenities one would need in a bathroom to feel civilised even while wild camping. The bed is very big and comfortable and I say this from a hight of 193cm while my wife is 183. 10/10 would recommend and hope to see Dave again.
