Lex and I had so much fun in Bee. We felt safe and found the van very comfortable and reliable.

So happy with Busy Bee, perfect for my needs/travels with my son. Great to drive, small enough to get around all the narrow lanes in the West country, Snowdonia and the Lake and Peak Districts. Retro fitted gas cooker and sink is ideal for camping (slides out so no cooking inside the van) and awning gives protection from sun and keeps you dry getting in and out of the van when it's raining. Comfortable to sleep in. Elethea was super helpful, easily contactable and ensured the pickup and redelivery went smoothly and efficiently. Highly recommend Busy Bee!

We have just returned from a fantastic 3 nights away in Bee . This was the first time wed been away in a camper van and it was better than we imagined. The van was lovely to drive and easy to set up for a night. Great to have the kitchen in the boot as this then allowed more space inside. Alethea was really lovely and helpful in messages and in person. Thank you, this was a great experience x

It was excellent vehicle, very comfortable, clean, easy to drive and Alethea was very supportive and reassuring, as I had not driven a campervan before. I would definitely book again and recommend

What a fantastic weekend we had, and Alethea's Busy Bee was perfect. We've never used a camper van before, but this experience was faultless, thank you.

We had such a great experience from the get go with The Busy Bee!! Alethea went above and beyond, answering our endless questions before we even picked up the van. this was our first time in a camper van and it was just brilliant. The Busy Bee was equipped with everything we needed and was immaculately presented. Alethea provided us with levelling ramps and hook up cable and explained how to use everything in great detail for us novices! We had trouble lighting the gas hob because we are totally clueless, but thankfully Alethea was on the other end of the phone to save then day! We have 3 Boys aged 15, 13 and 11 and even though the weather was absolutely atrocious they said it was the best weekend and now we all want to buy a camper van!!! I would recommend Alethea and The Busy Bee to anyone who is looking for a lovely adventure with the family, it truly was a great experience from start to finish........Thank you Alethea

We hired the Busy Bee (VW California) from Alethea for a long weekend away with the kids (aged 10,9, and 6). It was our first Campervan experience and the entire family loved it! Alethea is super friendly and a great communicator! We received clear info pack / instructions with useful links to videos to help explain van setup and good handover allowed for demos / questions. Sleeping arrangement worked wel for us as a family of 5 and slide out rear kitchen unit perfect for morning coffee / tea! The VW van itself drove well, was in good condition and we would highly recommend the Busy Bee for a fun week(-end) away!
