We took Roxie for the Aug BH weekend to a festival and it couldn’t have been better. Jessica was great, handover was fabulous and Roxie was clean and set up brilliantly. Highly recommended! August 2025
Beverley Wright Beverley Wright
The communication with Jessica was very clear and the handover went really well. All features of the van were explained in great detail. We toured the south coast of England, stopping both off-grid and at campsites. Roxie has everything you need for off-grid, including a large fridge/freezer, oven/hob, shower/flushing toilet, hot and cold running water and central heating. The bed is a full sized double and is very comfortable. We would highly recommend hiring out Roxie to take you on an exciting adventure. August 2025
Response from Jessica Thank you for your lovely review and looking after Roxie so well :) Hopefully see you both again for your next adventure

We loved our holiday in Zippy! Jessica and Gary were so helpful in all their advice before we set off and we had a fantastic time in our first motorhome experience. June 2025

Another great rental from Jessica and Gary. Sparkey is a wonderful motorhome. Handover straight forward and they are always at the end of the phone for any questions. No doubt we will be back again for another rental very soon! April 2025
Response from Jessica Thank you for your lovely review and for looking after Sparkey so well. We look forward to seeing you again!
James James
Sparky was brilliant, we had a fantastic week on the south coast. Jessica and Gary were great - smooth handover and very helpful at every step! Highly recommend April 2025
Paul Paul
Sparkey was perfect in everyday. Just the right size for us and our pup. Jess and Gary gave us an in depth handover and there was a 'how to' book just in case. Very clean on arrival and had all that we needed, even some washing up liquid. Only issue, we couldn't get the tv to receive any signal. November 2024

Emma Emma
Excellent and prompt communication prior to rental. As I had hired Roxie before the handover was shortened to what I was unsure about so was off on my adventure quickly. Roxie is lovely, everything needed was supplied and she is a great van to drive. Thank you. September 2024

Fantastic trip and Jessica was a pleasure to deal with. September 2024

We went to cornwall with my elderly parents. Had the most amazing time. Made lots of mew memories. Jesdica made the whole transaction so easy. Communication was brilliant. Will definitely use this again x September 2024

This is the second time we’ve rented from Jessica and Gary. The bus was flawlessly clean, handover was thorough and everything was explained. Hand back of the bus was easy! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the bus and Jessica and Gary! Thank you 😊 August 2024
Hans & Anthea Hans & Anthea
Zippy was a great motorhome for us. We went to the Wilderness festival in Oxfordshire and Zippy was our home away during the amazing days. Jessica and Gary explained all what we needed to know at the holdover. We probably would rent Zippy or another of their Motorhomes at another time. August 2024
Gee Gee
We highly recommend Jessica and Gary. Roxie the van was kitted out with everything you could need and made our first camper van experience easy and amazing. They explained everything to us but also gave us an easy to follow guide with all information required. We are so happy we did and can’t thank Jessica and Gary enough for helping making our experience one to remember. If you have the opportunity then pick them and their vehicles as you won’t be disappointed. August 2024
Kerry Kerry
We love this little Motorhome, just perfect for two people. It was really easy to drive and had everything we needed. The handover was excellent and the van was spotless. We stayed in a lovely campsite on the new forest that had no facilities except the ponies wandering round, but we had everything we needed in the van. July 2024
Janine Janine
Lovely motorhome, well equipped. Great to have the full bathroom which all worked a treat, excellent shower. Loads of storage space. Large bed. Handover was excellent with everything explained and good instructions folder. Would highly recommend. July 2024
Nick Nick
Jessica and Gary were brilliant, they were kind and explained everything we needed to know extremely well. We took Sparkey to Glastonbury, she was perfect, comfortable, and had absolutely everything we needed. Even had 4 super night’s sleep, very comfortable bed, and great facilities. Super clean, well looked after, couldn’t recommend enough. Thank you so much Jessica and Gary, if we get tickets for Glasto next year we’ll be back… July 2024
Response from Jessica H thank you 😊 we are so glad you eejoyed your experience look forward to seeing you again
Gary Martins Stephens, Gary Martins Stephens,
A comprehensive and smooth handover, where everything was explained well, especially as we were first time motor home users. We enjoyed a lovely stay in Zippy and the facilities provided were great. Looking forward to our next motor home holiday 😊 June 2024
Response from Jessica We are so glad you enjoyed your experience Thank you for looking after zippy so well Hope to see you again
Clive Clive
So professional and helpful. Van was clean and in good order when I picked it up and everything was set for a perfect trip. They did not sort the weather though!! June 2024
Response from Jessica Thank you Clive, glad you had a good trip. Next time we will see if we can sort the weather out for you too.
Mark Leslie Allan, Mark Leslie Allan,
Wow, what an experience! Our first motorhome holiday and we went to Normandy. It was absolutely brilliant, loved it. Zippy was perfect for the two of us, and had everything we could need/want. Thoroughly recommend if you are considering. Communication was superb from start to finish and any questions we had were answered quickly. Great owners, and lovely people. June 2024
Response from Jessica Hi, we are glad you had an amazing experience. We look forward to welcoming you back for your next adventure. You looked after Zippy superbly.
Martin Martin
This was our first experience of a motorhome holiday. It was absolutely awesome we had a great time. The motorhome owners Jessica and Gary insured a smooth collection and explained the workings of the van. The motorhome was clean and tidy and was a pleasure to drive. We travelled to north Wales and clocked up a good few miles, taking in Zipworld and both doing the longest zip wire in Europe. We stayed off grid (did’nt use electric plug in)at some beautiful sites with amazing views. The handing back of the motorhome was smooth and uncomplicated. I would thoroughly recommend this type of holiday and indeed using Jessica and Gary’s fleet of motorhomes. June 2024
Response from Jessica Hi Martin, we are glad you had an amazing time in Charlie, we look forward to seeing you again for you next adventure. Gary and Jess
Rebecca Rebecca
Wow - what an amazing trip we had in Sparkey! Contact with the owner was brilliant, nothing was too much for them and they were even happy to meet us prior to the rental so I could see 'Sparkey' before picking her up. Being able to keep our van pick in a secure compound while we rented Sparkey was a massive bonus, even giving us an earlier pick time as there wasn't anyway before us which was hugely helpful. Jessica and her husband spent over an hour going through how everything works (maybe the previous renter wasn't listening as all was covered then!). It was so cosy and everything we needed was included - just need towels and clothes. I slept with my 2 children (11 and 14) on the big double bed at the back and my husband had the front bed. It worked really well - and any questions we had during the trip were answered quickly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sparkey - in fact we are already planning our next trip! Really special memories - happy camping! :-) June 2024
Response from Jessica Hi Becky. We are so glad you enjoyed your experience in Sparkey. You were a lovely family and you returned sparkey so clean throughout. We look forward to meeting you again soon for your next adventure 😊

We would love to be able to say that renting Sparkey was a special experience that we truly loved, but regrettably that is not the case. Sparkey was rented to us in defective condition, albeit that the defect in question did not become apparent until a third of the way through the rental. The locks on the side-door to the vehicle failed due to the defect, meaning it was prone to swing open (outwards) at any moment when the vehicle was in motion, as it could not be effectively secured other than by holding it closed by hand from inside the vehicle. When this alarming fault became apparent, we had a very stressful experience, having to drive an unroadworthy vehicle 80 miles, on poor country roads, to our planned destination for that day; the experience totally overshadowing the day. A technician to fix the fault was organised by the owners somewhat begrudgingly and only after prolonged attempts by them to make out to us that the defect was not really a defect, despite us sending them videos showing how the door could not be fastened shut. The technician came out to fix the dangerous fault the following day, however this required us to lose a further half-day of our holiday waiting around for this person to turn up and perform the necessary repairs to return the vehicle to roadworthiness. Tellingly, there was no attempt at follow-up with us from the owners regarding the experience once the issue was resolved or any apology for the inconvenience and stress encountered. We also had other issues with this vehicle. The motorhome has a speed limiting device that was not mentioned to us when we collected the vehicle, which we only found about when it was accidentally activated by one of us inadvertently engaging a control that had not been pointed out to us at the handover. We then found that the vehicle would refuse to accelerate past 28mph as a previous user of the motorhome had set the device at that level and the owners had not cleared this setting prior to passing the vehicle over to us. This led to a very stressful 1-hour journey on a standard A-road rated at 60mph for most of the distance, with a tailback of irritated motorists building up behind the vehicle repeatedly, even though we stopped where possible to allow other vehicles to pass. Probably the most aggravating thing with this motorhome (out of the collection of problems we had with it, not all detailed here) was the fridge, which would regularly malfunction (switching itself off), at least several times - sometimes numerous times - a day, every single day throughout the rental. There were often prolonged periods when on the road where the fridge was non-functional, and this meant that keeping perishable food was not really viable when mobile. This impacted our enjoyment of the motorhome negatively throughout the entire time of renting it, especially as we were in remote areas without plentiful places to buy groceries. All of these issues might have been somewhat mitigated had the owners been pleasant to deal with and acknowledged problems encountered with the vehicle with a degree of honesty, openness and humility, as opposed to attempting to minimise repeatedly the issues encountered and evade any sense of accountability, but regrettably that was not the case. We were obliged to conclude that they are not individuals who readily take responsibility for shortcomings with their vehicle, and certainly not with much grace or a sense of providing a service to users trying to have a quality leisure experience. By the time we handed Sparkey back to the owners, we were more than glad that the experience had come to its conclusion. We would not recommend others take on this vehicle June 2024
Response from Jessica Please read all our wonderful five-star reviews before drawing a conclusion from this customer's rant. We pride ourselves on keeping our motorhomes well-maintained. They have annual habitation checks and are thoroughly checked between hires to ensure they are safe and pleasant to use. We want all our hirers to have the best experience possible as for many it is a life dream to have this kind of freedom. Occasionally, things can fail; if this does happen, we are always happily on hand with help and advice, as many times there is a very simple remedy, and we aim to get your holiday back on track as soon as possible. The key is to notify us of any issues immediately so we can take swift action (this was not the case with these travellers). We also have many returning customers who absolutely love their experience with ‘Sparkie’ and us.

Great location near South Coast and South Downs. Very patient as my docs for insurance took a while to retrieve and forward onto Jessica. Cars left in secure gated vehicle park. 10 minutes away Alec at Sands Farm House, Tottington Dr, Small Dole, Henfield BN5 9XZ as well as very helpful a great last night place to stay to empty grey water, WC, and top up fresh water. £20 night with hook up, £16 without. Showers , toilets, washing up facility with Hot water. Lovely dog walks, White Hart pub food good and staff very welcoming and so are 4 legged friends. A first taste of van life, loved it. A great van to drive, park, reverse, economical to run. Weather was sunny, torrential wet spells and windy. Hot water shower and WC was home from home. Excellent fridge with freezer kept ice creams and fish fingers frozen. 1st night at The Tavern Peacehaven right on the sea cliff. Great food, lovely staff, great sea front walks with 4 legged friend. Gratis! Following day onto Brighton, enjoyed some sunshine, Beach walks, some chillin, shopped at Local Lidl. Had a roast at The Walrus, 4 legged friends very welcome too. Parked up Madeira Drive for the night. Great sea view, dog walks on beach, peaceful. Gratis 6pm-10am. Drove upto Devils Dyke, beautiful South Downs National Park. Was great to park up cook lunch Fishfinger buttys n salad have a hot drink until the wild wind and rain stopped. Very busy Pub right there great for a drink to quench your thirst and toilets after a walk. National Trust member free parking otherwise £20 for the day! Loved the freedom of the outdoors and the comforts of having indoors. without any trekking back to accommodation to get changed, get fed, etc. Game changer. Wish I'd tried it years ago. Returned van, cleaned and cleared. Handover efficient. Deposit returned within days. Thank you it was a very positive first Motorhome experience. May 2024

We had a great time in Roxie. Jessica and Gary were great at explaining the features of the van, and were great communicators during the booking process. Would highly recommend renting from these guys. May 2024

Fabulous experience hiring this motorhome. Jessica and her partner were very helpful on the handover and at the end of the phone if we needed any advice. The motorhome was clean and had everything we needed. Nice to drive and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. We hope to hire again some time soon. Thanks. April 2024
Brett Brett
Sparkle is a wonderful motorhome and we have a fantastic family holiday. I would recommend hiring with Jessica it was so easy to do. October 2023
Phillip Phillip
We had a great week travelling to 3 sites in Dorset and were extremely comfortable in the Campervan. Even in October it was a lovely experience. The heating works perfectly keeping you warm, we cooked meals on the cooker, the bed was very comfortable and the rear lounge works a treat. On the final pitch we managed to get an incredibly view that we will never forget - see photo. October 2023
Stephanie Ahern Stephanie Ahern
Great experience from start to finish. The van was brilliant - beautifully clean, everything really well explained. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend! Thank you thank you! September 2023
Caroline Caroline
The owners were lovely to deal with and very helpful when we had to change our dates. Zippy was a joy to holiday in. Lovely set up for our needs. Would definately recommend them August 2023
Michael Michael
Absolutely loved our trip with Roxie to the Lake District and the Scottish Highlands. Had everything you needed and the bed was so comfortable! 🙂 Would definitely rent again. August 2023
Carolyn Carolyn
Great motorhome and dog friendly! We drove up to Scotland and did the NC500 route. Owners Jessica and Gary were lovely and really helpful. There's no longer a maximum mileage limit, which is great, as we were worried that we'd gone over the max 2000 miles entered on our contract! August 2023
Jane Jane
Zippy was a fantastic opportunity for us novice camper vaners. The camper van is easy to drive and has all mod cons. We really enjoyed our time and would definitely book again. Jess and Nigel were professional in all communication and gave us a really great induction and instruction on how to use the camper van and how everything worked. We really appreciated their time and patience and would highly recommend hiring from them, it was seamless from hiring, pick up, through to drop off. Many thanks, Jane & Harry. August 2023
Lewis Lewis
Our experience with Sparky the camper van was everything we could have wished for. Jessica and Gary provided a comprehensive explanation of how everything worked, so we felt fully prepared before we set off. The camper van was beautifully clean, and all the amenities worked perfectly. We were on a trip with two under 4’s, and they were so excited to be in the camper. The toilet was a godsend compared to camping and the sleeping arrangements worked really well. We also had plenty of room for family meals, as well an area to relax and watch TV and play games. As novice camper vanners we found the various operations of Sparky very straightforward (desposing / refilling the water and toilet, operating the heating etc.). All in all a wonderful experience, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jessica and Gary and Sparky. 5 stars! July 2023
David David
A lovely comfortable vehicle, well-appointed with everything you need. Jessica and Gary were super helpful at the handover and showed us all aspects of the van. We stayed relatively locally, moving between sites each night in Kent and Sussex, which was great - so much to see. July 2023
Kurt Matthews Kurt Matthews
This was our first motorhome holiday and the whole experience was fantastic. Jessica was very helpful prior to pick up, answering any questions that we had as novices. The pick up with Jessica & Chris was excellent, they demonstrated all the important features and left a detailed written pack to refer back to if needed. Zippy was great for 2 of us, plenty of space and all the features you could ask for (very comfy bed!). We are now hooked and will be looking to hire Zippy again soon! July 2023
Nic Nic
Immaculate camper. It was perfect for our festival and the handover could not have been easier. July 2023
Andrew Andrew
Jessica and Gary were very helpfull, they answered all our questions. The handover when picking the Motor Home (M H) was informative, usefull and very freindly. The M H was in great condition and we had a great holiday round the Norfork Coast. We would definitely Hire this M H again. July 2023
Abigail Abigail
Great trip to Glastonbury in thjs Motorhome. It is so cozy with everything you need for a longer trip. Jessica and Gary are lovely and helpful with any queries July 2023
Claire Claire
We hired from Jessica and Gary, as first time motorhome users. They were great to deal with! Professional, polite and took the time to explain the van to us really clearly. We did the NC 500 experience over 12 days, and only had a minor issue once, which they sorted over the phone immediately. The van was easy to drive, economical and A real pleasure, and thank you both for entrusting us with Sparky for 2 weeks!! June 2023
Claire Claire
My son and I loved Zippy! It was our first time in a motorhome and we could have asked for a better experience. Jessica and her husband were amazing at showing us how everything worked and we went away feeling quite confident. I’ll definitely hire from them again. Incredible experience 😊 June 2023

We had a great time with the camper in southern UK. Jessica was very flexible and in case of questions she was always available. Thank you so much. October 2022
Nigel Nigel
This was our first motorhome holiday, and we could not have chosen a better place to start. The communication from the owners Jessica and Gary was excellent throughout the booking process and we knew exactly what was needed regarding documentation and collection. On our arrival to collect the motorhome Gary and Jessica gave us a thorough familiarization tour of the vehicle as well as a pack with written instructions on all its functions. There was also a secure parking space for our car “Sparkey” is a great motorhome, easy to drive and manoeuvre, well equipped. and extremely comfortable. The owners, Jessica and Gary are lovely people and I highly recommend their motorhome. September 2022
Laura Laura
Lovely little camper, well equipped and compact and very clean. Jessica and Gary gave a first class service from start to finish, explaining everything fully and were very accommodating. August 2022

We had a great time in Sparkey on the South Downs and in the New Forest. Excellent service and attention from Jessica and Gary from booking through to hand-back. Thoroughly recommended. August 2022
Neil And Emma Neil And Emma
We loved our time with Roxie. The whole process from start to finish could not have been better. It was our first time using a campervan, and Jessica and Gary explained everything clearly and patiently. The drive was surprisingly quick to get used to and really enjoyable. Roxie is a lovely campervan, a good size, lots of useful features and facilities, and is very clean and well looked after. I would highly recommend hiring Roxie and wouldn't hesitate to book again. August 2022
Conor Conor
We had a wonderful time in Cornwall with Roxie. Perfect camper size for the narrow roads and had everything for us to enjoy off grid living for a week. Jessica and Gary were always available for any questions, we highly recommend! August 2022
Rob Rob
Excellent, thank you. Really nice people to hire from, informative and helpful and the motorhome was perfect. We'll definitely be back, thank you. Rob July 2022
Anna Thompson, Anna Thompson,
This van was perfect for what we needed - a few nights at a festival - Jessica and Gary were friendly and thorough and it was an all round lovely experience . July 2022
Christine Christine
We had the best adventure in Roxie, everything we needed for 10 days off grid in Scotland, the van was immaculate, the bed was so comfortable and huge, the van was lovely to drive and the owners were lovely, so helpful explaining everything. Being able to lay on the bed with the back doors wide open looking out to a beautiful Loch and mountains was amazing. We will be forever grateful for this experience. And would like to thank Jessica and Gary from the bottom of our hearts for letting us hire this beautiful camper. July 2022
Neil Neil
This is a superb van. It’s the perfect balance between a smaller Campervan and a motorhome - large enough to have the bed out all the time if you want to and still be able to use the kitchen but small enough to drive around like a normal van. It’s very comfy and has everything you’ll need, including a toilet. We didn’t have an electric hook up on site so couldn’t make use of everything the van had to offer but we really didn’t feel like we missed out on anything. Jessica and Gary look after it very well and are wonderful hosts - very friendly and communicative. Thank you both for making sure we had everything we needed. I’ve hired quite a few campers over the years (mainly to go to festivals in) and this one is definitely in my all round top 5. Heartily recommended. June 2022
Mark Mark
Roxie provided a very comfortable home for our tour of Sussex. The van provided ample accommodation for the two of us and came well equipped with all the essentials we needed - all we brought along was our bedding. Jessica and Gary were extremely helpful, both when we picked up Roxie as well as when we called in during our journey with (novice camper van user) questions on how things worked. Thoroughly recommended. June 2022
Roger Roger
Jessica and Gary clearly explained how the van worked and they also provide an information book which was very helpful. The van is really comfortable especially the beds. We liked all the mod cons. It's very different from the old VW type 2 we had years ago! We would definitely reccomend a holiday in this van. May 2022
Caroline And David Caroline And David
We loved our time in Sparkey. Jessica and Gary gave us a great overview of the motor home before we set off, we are first timers so this really helped. The motor home is lovely and spacious but also very easy to drive. All the controls within the home are easy to understand helped by the owners helpful booklet. We loved the easy lifestyle, we may be hooked and will certainly consider booking this motor home again. May 2022
Mike Mike
Jessica and Gary were perfect hosts ! Very clear with their instructions on the use of Sparkey and flexible over timing of pick up and return. Will definitely use Sparkey again ! May 2022
Anna Anna
I highly recommend renting Sparkey from Jessica and Gary! The motorhome was neat and clean, it was great to drive and the heating kept us nice and warm during the cold April nights. It had everything it stated in the description, we had all we needed to be comfortable on our holiday. The four of us (women) slept comfortably on the double bed and two single beds. We could have converted the two single beds into a large double, but there was no need, as they were wide enough as single beds. The double bed at the front is definitely smaller, but still comfortable for adults with a smaller stature. It was our first time renting a motorhome, Jessica and Gary explained everything in detail and provided a photo manual that made it easy to remember the details. The control panels were straight forward and easy to operate too. Two of us shared the driving, and we both adjusted quicker than we expected. The mirrors are huge and offer a good view, and the camera at the rear is on all the time you are driving, so you can see cars behind you almost as if you were looking in the rear view mirror of your own car. We only came across a couple of very narrow lanes with steep hairpin turns that were tricky to navigate, driving on the motorway, through villages and most country lanes was fairly easy. We had a fantastic holiday and we were very happy with our choice and highly recommend renting Sparkey from Jessica and Gary! April 2022
