Hey, I'm Melanie!

Bristol , United Kingdom – Member since February 2022

We are parents of two children who refuse to sleep in the van together. We now travel with tent and van. We’re currently too tired to put up a tent, hence the vans almost constant availability.
Personally, I’m looking forward to driving off alone and parking somewhere with a view, sipping (necking) a G&T and going through the puzzle pages of a newspaper.
I do though have wonderful memories of the four of us vanning around France for three weeks and regularly driving down to Hillend Campsite (Gower, has a great beach) and Racquety Farm (Hay-on-Wye, kayaking and walks) so can thoroughly recommend Vanessa Van Vanventurerer for that too.

Mel was an incredible host. The handover was excellent, I was a little late but communicated that before and it was no problem at all. The van was very well stocked, had all the stuff we needed and more. The bed was super comfy and handing it back was a breeze. HIGHLY recommend. July 2026

Mel and Tim are fabulous, good souls through and through. We loved our trip and all went off without a hitch, couldn’t be more pleased! We will be booking again! 🙌 July 2026

We loved our mini adventure in Vanessa. She was equipped with everything we needed and Mel gave us a very helpful briefing on how everything worked, which was massively appreciated as we’re newbies to campervanning. We will definitely be looking for other opportunities to take Vanessa on a trip. June 2026

Great van for all of our family of 4’s needs. It was comfortable, well stocked with crockery, cutlery, pots and pans and the kids loved sleeping at the top. Hob and fridge very useful. Jim and Mel were very responsive and helpful. It also drove well with no issues. June 2026

I had a wonderful weekend in Vanessa Van Vanventurer at a festival in a forest in Wales. Tim and Mel were great , so relaxed and accommodating they really wanted me to just enjoy my time away in their motorhome with no stress which was very reassuring. I was given a great induction so everything was very easy to operate, the bed was cozy and it made for a great base with a handy fridge cooker and sink, they provided all the essentials and there was plenty of little pockets of storage to keep items to hand. It was a very easy van to drive too, had a great time and would love to be a repeat customer. I stayed in the van on my own so I used the pop up roof just for extra height but it would happily house extra guests for a family/group adventure :) May 2026

Handover couldn't be easier with Melanie and her partner. We loved the long weekend as everything worked perfectly well and the top airbed was very comfortable. All was cleaned and well organised. August 2025

Early and easy handover. Very friendly with instructions etc. we went to Essex and Whitstable with two little grandchildren (4 and 6). We also took a small tent for extra space. The van had everything we needed and it was quite comfortable to sleep in, especially easy was moving the bed into position. It was a very useful experience as we are considering getting our own camper. August 2025

Great wee info session with Tim on our arrival. Van was great, signs of age on outside but that actually made me more relaxed! Inside was ideal- great fridge! Would definitely recommend. Hosts very flexible with pick up/drop off times. Can’t fault our experience July 2025

We had a fantastic time hiring Melanie’s van, it was perfect for what we needed. Not only did Melanie organised extra bits for us to borrow, she also removed some things so they didn’t take up space. The handover was smooth on collection and return, which was great for saving time. I would definitely hire from Melanie again, very friendly and helpful. June 2025
