The three of us (two teenagers + mother) traveled from Liverpool to Scotland for 10 days and Oakie was: perfect! The car is comfortable, very well equipped and practical, beautifully designed and homely, and very easy to drive. David built the car with great attention to detail and he is the best rental company. Before we booked, he patiently and quickly answered all of our questions and gave us a warm welcome. He was also there for us during the trip if we had any questions and was fair and constructive in fixing a fender bender. Oakie was spacious for the three of us, the room layout is well thought out, the lots of storage space is well organized, everything is stable. Above all, the car is tastefully designed and we immediately felt at home. There is all the crockery and cookware you need, a 3 burner stove and even an oven so cooking and washing up is very easy. David provided us with the basics (tea, coffee, sugar, milk, oil, salt & pepper) as well as soap, shampoo and washing up liquid which we appreciated. The beds are comfortable, including the 3rd berth, which converts very quickly from the sitting lounge, but can also be left set up during the day if you don't need the space to eat. The sleeping climate was very good, despite the rain and temperatures up to a maximum of 18 degrees we didn't need the heating. Because Oakie has its own energy supply with the solar panels, we were independent and were able to stay in beautiful, secluded places. We only booked campsites twice to refill water and do laundry. The built-in Internet is also useful if, for example, you don't have roaming for your cell phone. Despite its length (6.7 m), the car was very easy to drive and left-hand traffic was also no problem for me from the continent (except for the roundabouts, where I change gears, get my bearings, turn signals, keep an eye on other road users and always had to stay on the right side of the street ;-). In larger cities (Glasgow, Edinburgh) we sometimes looked longer for a suitable parking space, but always found one. (Some cities have a Low Emission Zone (LEZ) where you have to pay a fee. David can provide good information on this.) If we decide to come back to England we would definitely try to hire Oakie again. It was great! Many thanks to David!
