Hey, I'm Julie!

Glasgow, United Kingdom – Member since March 2023

Hi my name is Julie. I am from Glasgow, Scotland, a former University Lecturer but now focusing on more independent ' me time' activities and hence the idea of hiring out a brand new campervan conversion.
l have always loved the outdoors of our beautiful country and there are always new places to see, people to meet and things to do., and now having 'Doris' this makes all of this still new and fresh to me. Beach visits are a must for me and my dog Ben, who likes to think he shares the driving! Most recently we have been to Isle of Coll and Morar but also Broughty Ferry. Glencoe is a special favourite place of mine to visit , regardless of the weather, it never fails to impress, and my ultimate trips include the NC500 and general touring of the rugged and romantic West Coast of Scotland (but I'm probably biased , as the fresh seafood is a must! :). Driving the van is a joy, and my hope is that I can share that joy and the scenery and locations. The secret and unexpected finds that you may encounter, are memories to treasure.

We had the most amazing adventure in Doris! She’s the perfect van for exploring Scotland, easy to drive and well equipped with all that you need. Julie was lovely and excellent at communicating before, during and after our trip. The handovers were smooth and Julie even dropped us off at the station at the end of our trip which was very kind. We will absolutely be back again soon for another holiday in Doris! August 2025
Response from Julie Aw thank you Madel and Alex, also for the lovely review and taking great care of Doris aand returning her in a very neat and tidy condition. Wishing you both all the best ! Many thanks Julie

Had a fantastic trip (babymoon) in Scotland! Delivery of the van was well organised and prepared. Had a run-through at a parking lot and we drove of easily (drive on the left, look to the right…). The van had everything we needed, a working fridge (and freezer!), fully equipped kitchen, chairs and table (inside and outside). The van doesn’t have a grey water tank, so no soap/detergent can be used but there is a sink with running water which comes in handy. The bed is a “rock and roll bed” which we used for the first time, it’s comfortabel though a bit on the harder side. We fit snuggly as two everage sized Dutchies. We travelled from Glasgow to the Cairngorms/Glenmore, from there to Inverness and then proceeded to Isle of Skye for a few days. From Skye past Eilean Donan Castle, Glen Shiel to Glen Nevis and Glen Coe, before returning to Glasgow. Fantastic trip! Will be returning to Scotland! August 2025

Charlie and I had the most fantastic trip to Mull with Doris. Julie was so helpful and reassuring with all our questions before the trip and did everything she could to give us the best holiday. Doris is truly loved and cared for, and Julie cares for her hirers too, going above and beyond. I took all my "emergency extras" but there was really no need - everything was provided, down to an emergency sewing kit, washing line, and roll of ever-handy gaffer tape. We had amazing sunny and warm weather so we only used the heating once, but it was great to warm up quickly when we needed to. Doris is a pleasure to drive, fits neatly in to the passing places on single-track roads, and can hold her own on the motorway too. She is charming and distinctive, and we are looking forward to hiring her again for a return trip in Spring to see the puffins. Thank you Julie and Doris for our little Island adventure!

Julie & Doris looked after us very well throughout our trip. Doris took us to Isle of skye and made it an experience to remember. Julie has thought of everything with all the bells and whistles provided in Doris, whether it be wild camping or in a campsite. Julie’s communication was great and she was very attentive to all our needs, Doris is a great compact camper that’s easy to drive and quick to pitch, ideal for exploration and adventure with everything we needed. Can’t recommend Julie and her lovely Camper Doris enough. Many thanks from Ireland! September 2024

We really enjoyed travelling with Doris. She brought us to the most beautiful places on Skye. Julie explained everything very well before we started our trip. She comunicated very good from the booking and she was availeble for questions. Julie thought about everything. It was very nice to travel with such a well organised Van. Our first adventure with a campervan was a succes! Thanks a lot Julie and Doris! July 2024
Response from Julie Thank you Hana, and Yana it was a pleasure , so happy you had a great trip and thank you for taking such good care of Doris . She’s very happy that she’s being admired in the Islands 😊😊😊 take care Best wishes Julie x JJulie

Tim and I had a wonderful holiday in Scotland, and traveling around in a campervan was definitely the best way to experience it. We were new to the whole experience, but we were definitely in safe hands. We decided to hire Doris (the campervan) from Julie, and throughout the trip, she was very quick to respond, kind, and helpful. She provided us with lots of Scottish treats, including my favorite, Scottish potato cakes! If we ever needed help, she was always ready to answer via call or text. A super host! If we ever need a campervan in Scotland again, we'll know who to call. Thank you for everything, Julie! Much love! X April 2024
Response from Julie Aw thank you both , that’s very kind of you . All the best and take care x

Many thanks for the smooth rental of Doris. We spent 4 great days in Scotland in this Mercedes Beach Van. It is well equipped for 4 people. There were three of us so we slept very comfortably in it. Completely clean and fresh bed linen and including the necessary crockery and kitchen utensils. Overall, everything was in top condition. The handover and return was very uncomplicated. Julie helped us with every difficulty. Knowing that we had someone trustworthy on our side, made the vacation even more relaxed. Thank you for everything Julie and see you on our next Scotland-Trip ! August 2023

We had a brilliant time exploring just some of what Scotland has to offer. Doris was perfect for our trip and Julie, was so kind and communicative before and throughout our travels. The van itself is so easy to maneuver and drive, it also has everything you could need for both campsite comfort and wild camping opportunities. Thank you again for all the special extra touches Julie. I would recommend booking 100% and we can't wait to book again July 2023

Had a great time visited some stunning places in Scotland, we only wish Goboony would have displayed full charges during initial search rather than keep adding resulting in a more expansive experience than expected July 2023

We took Doris down to Leeds for a couple days and then for another night out at Largs, Doris was an absolute dream to drive, zero issues and a very comfy ride. Julie’s done a fantastic job with the camper. 100% would recommend and will be looking to book another trip in the future 😎 May 2023
Response from Julie Conor , what can I say, after all our conversations , we got there, without any hitches, except you didnt tell me that you are a giant of a man, that makes it look like you are in a toy van (ha, ha, ha) thank you for your lovely pictures and so glad you and Cat managed to catch great weather. Thanks for hiring Doris, great couple all the best Julie

What a wonderful little camper! We had a great time in Doris and Julie’s thoughtful little touches made our weekend even better. Thank you so much! May 2023

Ben Ben
An amazing trip on the west coast of Scotland - 5/5 The campervan (‘Doris’) was absolutely perfect and Julie, the owner, was incredibly kind, thoughtful and highly responsive to any queries or questions. She even kindly provided us with some Scottish ‘treats’ and a bottle of champagne in recognition of the fact that we were the first guests to hire Doris! In terms of the van itself, we have hired quite a few over the last few years and Doris is hands down the best of the lot. It’s a brand new conversion and got everything you could want in terms of cooking equipment, utensils, awning, table, chairs, heating, water for washing etc, but it’s the finer interior details that really made it for us. It was clear the love and care that Julie has put into the conversion and it really paid off. The van has a warmness and coziness to it that means you can really enjoy spending time inside, particularly on those cold and rainy Scottish days! We honestly couldn’t recommend hiring Doris enough, whether it’s for a long weekend or a longer trip, she is perfect for a campervan adventure. We have already booked her again for our next hire! Ben and Becca April 2023
Response from Julie Thank you Ben and Becca, great couple for first Doris trip, wish you both all the best, and thank you for taking great care of Doris Best wishes Julie
