We hired the Hercules – Auto-Trail Expedition 67 from Simon for a 10-day tour of Wales and southern England. From the outset, communication was excellent. Every question we had was answered quickly and clearly, making the booking process straightforward and reassuring. I was initially a little hesitant about driving a larger vehicle, but the camper was a pleasure to drive. It’s equipped with all the safety features and driving aids you could need, and we were both surprised at how easily it handled even the narrower Welsh roads. The van is fully equipped with everything you might need for your trip, and everything worked perfectly throughout our hire. The bed was very comfortable, and we really enjoyed the living space – it genuinely felt like we had all the usual comforts of home. We would happily recommend hiring Simon’s campervan to anyone looking to get out and explore. You’ll find a professional, friendly service and a well-maintained van that makes travelling and creating great memories easy. Thanks, Simon. August 2025

Handover with Simon was great. We have used his can previously so it was very straightforward this time round. We go to a Bluegrass Festival and we are of an age where camping in tents ain’t an option so this van was a great choice especially as the weather was somewhat inclement. July 2025

Simon was extremely helpful and thorough when showing us the Motorhome. Nothing was left to chance. The van had everything we needed for our long weekend away and was very comfortable. Very easy to drive and economical on fuel. Would certainly recommend. Thanks July 2024

Thank you Simon, we had a great break away! The van is well equipped, very clean and comfortable and easy to drive and park. The handover when picking up was very informative with all systems onboard explained and demonstrated by Simon. We are already looking forward to the next time! July 2024

Just returned from a two week trip in Hercules. An excellent experience. Simon was at all times helpful, during the informative handover and available throughout the trip if assistance was needed. The van was pristine when I collected it and thoughtfully equipped. Hercules was comfortable, easy to drive and thoroughly enjoyable to live in. Our tour took us over 2000 miles visiting the Outer Hebrides and isles of Harris and Lewis as we completed the Scottish North Coast 500. Wonderful views, beautiful van and superb service. I would not hesitate to recommend Simon and his camper van. Already talking about our next trip. Simon would be my first choice. May 2024
Response from Simon So glad you had a good time, thanks for the lovely review

We rented Simon’s van for a weekend in march. It really is a very lovely, well kept and luxurious van. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our trip was almost ruined when we found the water pipe had split meaning we were losing water as past as we were refilling. I messaged Simon late on our first night to let him know. Much to my surprise I woke in the morning to find Simon was on his way to fix it and he did! He did a 4 hour round trip to make sure we enjoyed our stay. You don’t often get customer service like that and he made our weekend. One thing is for sure you can trust Simon to ensure you enjoy your trip in his van. Would rent again March 2024

What an amazing experience. Simon was a legend and super halpful. We had a great trip to North Wales for a long weekend. Still snow on the mountains, but kept nice and warm in the van. Can wait to do this again! March 2024

Simon was extremely helpful when explaining how “Hercules” worked. It was well maintained and a joy to drive. Cosy in the evening and so easy to use during the day. November 2023

Thank you Simon, we had such an amazing few days in your gorgeous van. Very well equipped, usable space. Lots of great advice in the handover, especially cruise control option!! we wanted to try out van life before buying our own and this has definitely persuaded us to start looking properly. Thanks again!! August 2023

Our first time hiring such a van. Simon explained how everything worked and put our fears to rest! The van was very spacious and we even managed to hang all my husbands clothes in the wardrobe!! Great to drive and more than comfortable even in the horrendous weather we had. Would definitely hire this van from Simon again. August 2023

Friendly, helpful and a thorough walk-through meant we could head off on our trip confidently. Kids absolutely loved the van which was clean, spacious, full of everything you need and really good to drive. Would definitely recommend. July 2023

We had a really great week with Simon’s van. We initially selected it because it was (a) local to us and (b) allowed European travel. It was a fortuitous choice! We travelled through northern France for a week and it was economical and easy to drive, with all the tent etc being easy to set up and take down. The rear bed was comfortable (we didn’t sleep outside as it was such a hot week) with enough room, and all the cooking and water systems were easy to use. Simon was a great Host, giving a very clear handover of a perfectly clean, modern van. He was also quick to react if we had any issues during the rental despite being on holiday himself at the time! Goboony was easy too, helping us out with all legal requirements for going into Europe, as was Simon. The only suggestion I would make would be to provide simple written instructions for the van’s onboard systems. Being first time users of this type we struggled a little bit, and I was constantly battling with the ICE’s Bluetooth settings! 5 stars, recommended! June 2023

We rented Hercules the campervan for a trip to Southwold. In our opinion, Hercules stood out from the rest as a great choice and he did not disappoint. He was absolutely immaculate on collection, which is just what you want. He is a super stylish and very comfortable van. His practical layout is so flexible with two living/dining areas. With the dinette at the front, you have the option of leaving the double bed made up. The addition of a drive away air awning gives you loads of extra space and protection from inclement weather or chilly evenings. Hercules’ owner simon, gave us a thorough handover, fully explaining everything that we needed to know and gave lots of good advice. He was very accommodating with a couple of extra requests, nothing was too much trouble. We had a fabulous trip and cannot recommend Hercules enough! June 2023

Simon was absolutely great throughout the whole experience. The camper van was ready, clean, had a great tent and sleeping pod, easy to set up.and drive away (then reattach), no hassles. Loved driving this van too. I’m trying out types of vans to buy and this ticked so many boxes, although my preference is for a mattress rather than cushions. Drop off was a breeze. Would definitely rent from Simon again. May 2023
