I couldn’t recommend highly enough! From start to finish, everything was seamless - great communication, super flexible, and genuinely lovely to deal with. The van itself was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a perfect weekend away. You can tell it’s really well looked after. We’ll definitely be booking again in the future, thanks so much for making our trip so enjoyable! October 2025

Response from Ian Cillian - I've overlooked replying here! Shame on me after such a positive experience with you guys. This one unfortunately not without a hitch! Thank you for being so understanding when we were late to meet you after the wing-mirror got smashed off on the way to fill up the van and meet you. So glad we managed to hussle and sort it to enable your trip so yes - big thank you for all being so relaxed about it. The biggest thank you though is for the incredible positive energy you brought to us. It was like a soul recharge! Haha. We're still looking forward to going to your friend's restaurant on Skye for a special occasion and really hope you might find the time to come on up again. You'll be welcome with us any time. Best, Ian and Raji

Totally a pleasure hire from Ian and Raji, myself and Amanda had a brilliant and comfortable trip around the NC500..pure joy and now we are both hooked on campervan life. Ian and Raji were just great to hire from...many thanks Rob and Amanda September 2025

Response from Ian Hi Rob! Thank you so much for your kind words and so glad you had a great time! Nice photos as well :) I'm sure there are many more in the annals now! It was a real pleasure to have you travel in Art and I was gutted I couldn't meet you both due to my surgery after all the back and forth messaging before your trip. Raji said you were both lovely and easy going and thank you for taking great care of Art. I think maybe there was a mistake with the 1* rating which we can hopefully sort out :) haha

What a fantastic trip with Art. The van is very convenient, everything at hand, comfortable bed, enough energy to go wild camping, and Scotland has beautiful places for that. Highly recommended. Also very nice contact with Ian and Raji, very helpful and flexible. The van made us fall in love with Scotland and with traveling by van. At first, I found driving on the left and shifting gears exciting, but I quickly got used to it. September 2025

Response from Ian Hi Laetitia, thank you so much for your really positive review. We're so happy Art provided a good base from which to explore the wilds of Scotland and happy you feel in love with the Highlands. We agree, it's really a very special place and we love it more each time we go out in the van to explore another island, or glen, coastline or Corrie. We'd very happily have you guys back any time so please keep us in mind. It would also be really nice to meet you guys after all the messaging! - I'm sorry I couldn't be there but happy Raji was able to look after you well. All the best and thanks again for choosing Art and us. All the good things, Ian and Raji

We could not have asked for a better week driving through the Highlands in Art! Ian and Raja were amazing hosts and delivered a seamless experience for us. They were friendly, knowledgeable and approachable throughout the week. The van is in great condition and really comfortable for three people. There is great storage space and the small touches made van life really special! August 2025

Response from Ian That's such a kind review Charlotte - thank you :) It was really nice to meet you all and so glad you had such a great time in Art and appreciated the hand-built touches. We love that too! We'd of course be very happy to host you again sometime if you fancied exploring more :) All the best, Ian and Raji

Fantastic trip! Art is very cosy and comfortable, with a nice "homemade" touch. Many thanks to Ian and Raji for being so well organised and helpful, making things easy. Highly recommended! August 2025

Response from Ian Thank you for the kind review Seb. It was really nice to meet you, Sophie and Loann and welcome you to the Highlands. I'll really glad you had a great time and appreciated all the nice chats. Maybe you'll come back for the Indian Food and some more exploring one day!? We will both look forward to meeting you all again some day soon. All the best, Ian and Raji

Outstanding Campervan Hire Experience! We had an amazing time hiring the campervan from Ian. From start to finish, Ian’s communication was brilliant—prompt, helpful, and friendly before, during, and even after our rental. His local knowledge was invaluable in planning our trip, collection, drop off, perfectly aligned with our flights, and his support made everything so much easier. The campervan itself was clean, well-maintained, and incredibly easy to use. The kitchen area was well-equipped, and the seating/sleeping areas were cleverly designed for comfort and convenience. We used the van to complete our sibling Isle of Skye hike/tour and it was absolutely perfect for the adventure. What really stood out was Ian’s thoughtfulness—he kindly stocked the van with essentials like coffee, cooking essentials, toilet rolls, and cleaning products, so we could hit the road straight away without any hassle. It’s these little touches that made the experience so enjoyable. A massive thank you to Ian and Raji for their generous hospitality and support. We couldn’t have asked for a better campervan rental experience and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a hassle-free, comfortable, and well-organised rental. We’ll definitely be booking with them again in the future! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars August 2025

Where to begin? This isn’t just about renting a sweet van and exploring the Highlands….both of which were fantastic. It’s about connecting with Ian and Raji, who are clearly committed to providing an incredible experience for their renters. We could have chosen a variety of different vans in Goboony but decided on Art due to our interactions with Ian and Raji. They were responsive to our questions and helpful as we navigated the logistics of planning our journey. We felt like we were chatting with trusted friends. The van performed flawlessly, the bed was AMAZING and the kitchen stocked with everything we needed. After a day of exploring, it was nice to come “home”, cook a simple meal, and snuggle in out of the rain. After a thorough orientation, we drove away with confidence knowing we would have support solving any problems that might arise. As corny as it sounds, Ian and Raji are family now and will forever have a place in our hearts. July 2025

Response from Ian Ahh, Duane and Jen. Wow. It was really so nice to connect with you guys. It seems weird now to have write a review of our friends! Let's just say that we really appreciate you choosing us for your trip first of all and we appreciate the very touching review and we appreciate you as people. It was really nice we all had a little time spare at the end of your trip to explore some local sights together. We're already brainstorming dates when we could come over to California and hang out again. You're of course welcome back any time.

Arti is een fantastische camper. Het was voor ons de eerste keer dat we met een camper op reis gingen en dat met het stuur rechts en schakelen links. De camper is zeer handelbaar en inderdaad 100% offgrid. Je kunt makkelijk een paar dagen leven op de accu's en het zonnepaneel. De inrichting is ook logisch, alles ligt opde juiste plek. Hij is prima voor zijn tweeën maar met zijn drieën is hij volgens ons te klein. Echt ern annrader June 2025

Response from Ian Hi Sander and Caroline! Thank you so much for renting Art and your very positive review :) It was lovely meeting you and having a chat on the way to the airport. Thanks also for looking after Art so well - really happy you guys had a brilliant time travelling the NC500 in the camper and glad you put the 'off-grid' and leisure battery capacity to the test! As for 3 people in it, it's certainly cosy :) We had a family of 3 rent before (review below - Anthony) and I've travelled with my wife and sister and with two old school friends for a week but you'd definitely want to be very comfortable with your travel companions, I agree! It's pretty comical having close-quarters, adult-sleepovers Haha. Hope to see you guys again one day and Caroline - love your ceramics on Insta! Thank you for sharing.

WOW! What an incredible trip! This was our first time renting a motorhome and it couldn’t have gone smoother. We couldn’t recommend Ian and his van anymore, his service and communication was impeccable making everything very easy. The design of the interior of the van was very well thought out, it has everything thing you need and more! I would recommend Ian and his van to anyone! Thank you, Harv & Soph May 2025

Response from Ian Thank you for the review Harvey and Sophie and thanks for being such easy going travellers! It was really nice to meet with you, chat with you, answer all the van questions and hear that you'd had a great first vanning experience. Thanks for all the lovely feedback as well and hope to you guys back up here in the Highlands soon :)

I cannot recommend booking Art enough! We have just come back from one of the best weeks of our lives! The van is really well thought out and easy to use, it’s the perfect space for a Scottish (or further afield) adventure. It is light and airy, but super cosy in the evenings, with a very efficient heater should you need it. The kitchen has everything you could need to make all meals and the bed is really comfy. My boyfriend said it was a great van to drive. The cab is really comfy and spacious, with a charger / Bluetooth radio adapter for your tunes (or a very eclectic selection of CDs). It’s also insanely fuel efficient, we only filled up once in a week and we went to Lewis, Harris and Skye! Ian and Raji were beyond great and even stocked the fridge with some beers for my boyfriend’s birthday! They were incredibly communicative throughout the booking process, and really helpful and patient when we had an issue with driving licenses, which I was really grateful for. I could blabber on for an age about how great the experience was; I will be recommending Art, Ian and Raji to everyone I meet for the foreseeable!!! Thank you so much :) (Also very much recommend the Isle of Lewis and Harris - in particular Immerse Hebrides whale and dolphin watching boat tour and Reef beach campsite in Kneep.) May 2025

Response from Ian Holly, that's such a nice review :) thank you. The photos look incredible and thank you for sharing the little video as well - what a great surprise birthday trip! I think we (you!) did an amazing job of keeping it secret and James was clearly buzzing, "literally, the best week of my life". Raji and I get so much joy from meeting and hearing about the trips of everyone who keeps Art singing through the Highlands and Islands so thank you for renting from us, thank you for the good energy and chats and let us know if you're back this way. Making the move is not as hard as it seems when you already have friends up here now ;) Hope to see you guys again sometime soon!
