Hi, I'm Daniel

Helga is wonderful, comfy, well equipped and a real attention grabber. The layout was functional and easy to use with lots of really nice touches. Crazy number of accessories and vast storage. Slept undisturbed through heavy rain and winds gusting near 50mph. I found the step from the ground into the living area quite high, but this is due to my own disability and no-one else had any problems. Daniel was really helpful throughout the booking and the holiday. Communication was quick and clear. Daniel was very helpful with a last minute change that really helped make my holiday more manageable. Absolutely would recommend

Helga was a complete joy. Easy to drive with great tech (Apple Car Play and rear camera). She brings a smile everywhere she goes. The interior is very well thought out and she has all the extras one might need. A good nights sleep is assured. Kids and adults alike loved her.

We were looking for something a bit out of the ordinary, and in booking Helga we were not disappointed. She has been lovingly and expertly put together by Daniel, and he hasn't missed out any detail. He is a great 'host' and communicator and should really be converting classic vans for a living, as he is brilliant at it. We visited a beautiful music festival over 5 days, without hook up, and she was definitiely the best van there by a country mile. Lying in the automatic adjustable top bunk listening to passers-by strike up chats over how taken with her they were was amusing. Fielding questions, photos and quick looks inside were part of renting Helga and it just made it all more fun. High points of Helga: Copious amounts of clean water Seemingly endless amounts of power to run the appliances and lighting - we were blessed with sun, which helps. Having a microwave was a real treat whilst watching others shielding camping stoves from the wind. Clever storage. There was never going to be enough with the amount we pack, but our large suitcases fitted in the back compartment for travel and just lived under the van while we were there. Numerous dimmable lights. All the towing, levelling, jacking equipment you might need. Comfortable beds Backout covers for all of the windows Yoga deck on the roof A large fridge that was constantly cold The raising side panels really made the van very useable and social in our camp. Driving Helga: Once you appreciate that she is quite heavy on winding roads and that on these you just drive her slow and respectably, Helga is very easy to drive. She is left hand drive with an old format gearbox, but Daniel talked me through her idiosyncrasies and after an hour I had her worked out and she was actually quite fun to drive, and a constant head turner on the roads. We'll be hoping to rent her again for further adventures, if Daniel can trust us and part with her again.

We hired Helga to go to a festival and she was perfect. We had power and hot water all weekend without using a hook up. The van conversion is excellent, really well thought out. Communication with Daniel throughout the process was also excellent. He was happy to show us round the van a few weeks before we hired and then again on the day of hire. Even after we had given the van back and I thought I had left something behind he was quick to respond. Would highly recommend.

We hired Helga for 3 nights to attend a food and drink festival and had the most amazing time. Helga was immaculate and very easy to drive. Certainly a head turner and a great talking point at the site. I would definitely recommend.

Our hosts, Dan and Lucy, were really helpful and friendly - Dan gave us a fab handover and walked us through everything wed needed to know. Helga is a real head turner, we had loads of interest from fellow campers! You can completely live off grid thanks to the solar panels, so no electric hook up needed Really impressive sized fridge, plenty of room for the weekends supplies, plus full sized sink for all the washing up Great awning and easy to operate lift up sides which revealed a fab little outside bar area and fold down bar table. Theres a fully equipped kitchen, we loved the matching bee crockery set Interior finishing was lovely with timber panelling, leather pull handles and beautiful tiling Its really spacious and has a well thought-out layout. Dining table for 4, plus separate lounge area under the clever rise & fall bed Lots of thoughtful touches - herb pots, kitchen essentials eg washing up liquid, kitchen foil, welcome pack (wine & coffee!) Dan delivered and had already set up Helga for our arrival, so all we needed was our bedding, towels and the food & drink Make the most of the quirky roof terrace for sundowners accessed via the ladder! Plenty of usb chargers Amazing technology in the van - solar panels, digital display for water tank meter etc Theres also a woodburner and underfloor heating, although this was not needed for our stay during a warm June. Lovely hot shower, great loo, no traipsing to campsite communal facilities! Double bed is so comfy, we had a great 2 nights sleep - lovely, peaceful and cozy We cant recommend it more highly, were already planning our next trip in the wonderful Helga Ian & Rachel
