This is our van, Sybil.
She is named after a much loved relative, whose life was full of adventure, fun and travel, right into her old age. She inspires us to live with the same attitude.
Sybil the van is well maintained, well loved and fully kitted out for family adventures and we're happy to share her with other like minded people.
Sybil is a 2.5 tonne, medium wheel base, converted 16 seater mini-bus. She's a home build, made specifically...

Thank you Chris for letting us rent Sybil - we had a lovely time in Cornwall and the van was reliable, comfortable, clean and easy to keep clean and tidy. The utensils and storage is well organised and there was everything we needed to do some basic cooking and have a great time for a few days.
Ian
Sorry for the late review.
Thanks Chris for a pleasant handover.
We have been going to Farleigh Castle Vets MX since 2009 and this was the first year we decided to hire a motor home. “Sybil” was exceptional and catered for all our needs and made the weekend the best we have had at the event. Again thanks and no doubt will be using again.
Allun
Friendly and informative handover with Chris. We had a great time away in the van. It had everything we wanted/needed. Would 100% hire again.
Response from Chris
Thank you Allun. So glad you had such a great time. Come back any time
Comar
Great van. Great service
Joanna
We were fortunate enough to come across Sybil a few days before our trip to Wales and we could not have been happier. Sybil has a lovely homely feel and had everything we could possibly need to make our festival experience enjoyable and comfortable.
Chris and Mandy are also very lovely and accommodating hosts. Thank you so much again - you really saved our bacon!
Response from Chris
Thanks very much Joanna.
Glad everything worked out and you had a good time.
David
Great communication with Chris throughout for whom no question was too much, and then we loved our time with the vehicle. It was great to have everything we needed for our family adventure (thanks for the added extras of car seats and camping chairs) and would highly recommend others try the same as us.
Response from Chris
Thanks very much David
It was great to meet you all. Very happy to hear that you and family had a good holiday. Come back anytime
Monika
This was my first time to experience this site and the motorhome. Sybil has been great I have enjoyed driving it even at the beginning I was bit worried as not used to drive large cars, but Sybil been great very easy to drive and helped a lot during our documentary production kept our equipment safe, nights gave us place to sit in warm and change our wallow talkies. Plenty space for storage, easy to use the hob and water. Had no single problem. Chris has been very helpful and flexible with return as took me time to reload the stuff after the production. Definitely recommend 100%Sybil and I will rent it again. Perfect fit for low budget and gives all you need. And have plenty support communication from Chris as I been first timer made me very confident to be ok with Sybil I miss her already. Thank you Chris again for a great experience with Sybil. Best wishes Monica xx
Response from Chris
Thank you Monika
I’m so glad you had a good time and Sybil did her job. Thanks for bringing her back so clean and tidy!
Come back any time!
Jamie
Amazing communication from the outset and Chris is lovely to deal with. Friendly and supportive it has been a pleasure!
Van was spot on what was described and we loved it. Comfortable, lovely to drive and we have made amazing memories in it! Highly recommend!
Response from Chris
Thanks very much Jamie. So glad you all had such a great time. Thanks for looking after the van so well
Daniel
Spending a few days at a small family festival while staying in Sybil was amazing and very comfortable. My kids and I had a wonderful time. Chris is very accommodating and replies to any messages quickly. The handover was thorough, with Chris explaining Sybil’s many features. We will definitely hire with Chris again if we have the opportunity. Many thanks Chris!
Leo
We loved having Sybil as part of our family for a few days. Great van to drive and a perfectly setup camper for our little family. We will definitely hire again, Chris and Mandy great to deal with too. All good, thanks!
Dan
Incredible time with Sybil, amazing hosts, very accommodating and great to deal with, couldn’t ask for more.
Joshua
The owners of this lovely campervan were a pleasure to deal with. They were very polite, friendly and were great to communicate with. They explained all workings of the van in great detail and even left us with some handy instructions.
The van named sibyl was a joy to use, it never let us down on our 2000 mile trip around Scotland, the van was fully equipped even down to board games kept in a handy draw for those rainy days.
If we ever need too rent another campervan, we will definitely be back to see sibyl again.
Hollie
We hired Sybil for the long Easter weekend for our family of 4. The van was the perfect size to accommodate us all and for our first time driving a campervan. Communication with Chris was excellent and the handovers went smoothly. The price was very good compared to others we had viewed. Would highly recommend hiring this van :-)
David
We booked Sybil for a long weekend festival trip and it was super fun! Apart from the convenience of rocking up and being ready to roll without the pain of setting up a tent, unpacking and all that… the van is comfy, spacious and has everything you need at your finger tips. The whole process was smooth and easy start to finish. We loved the trip and look forward to booking her out again next year!
Jake
Great van, easy to drive, not too big to negotiate the country lanes of cornwall!
Easily fed, slept and watered our small family for 4 days!
Roma
Lovely van from a lovely family
Just returned from a dreamy weekend in Sybil. This van is so beautifully and thoughtfully decked out, she’s a complete joy to stay in. All mod cons- two ring gas stove, all kitchen items you could need, sink, fridge, tv, toilet! Cool and breezy with doors open throughout the day (even during a heat wave), yet cosy at night. Beds are really comfortable and easy to pack away. All windows have curtains and blinds so you don’t get woken too early. Soo much storage. There’s a double with a child bed alongside and another child bunk up above. Sybil makes me want to scoop up my kids and escape to wild places frequently. She’s also easy to drive for such an accommodatingly large vehicle.
