We had a fantastic 4 night drive around the Isle of Skye in Art. 3 adults, parents and young adult son. The van was perfect, small enough to drive and manoeuvre with minimal blind spots and tall enough to stand up in when cooking. It was beautifully set up with lots of storage for luggage, equipment and food. The beds were super comfortable, both the main double bed and the small single bed made up from the dining seats. We all slept very well every night. Ian thoughtfully provided picnic tables and chairs and we enjoyed picnic lunches with unbeatable views, all the better for having the well equipped kitchen just behind us. We could cook up some pretty gourmet meals with just the 2 burner gas hob and small but adequate fridge. Its completely off grid and there’s more than enough drinking water storage With the front seats swiveled round, the van was surprisingly roomy and had dining space for 3 in bad weather. Ian and Raji are excellent hosts and there are so many thoughtful touches in the van, down to a hangboard which gave our son his daily dose of pull ups! Ian was very responsive to all our messages and we had a very clear idea of what to expect when we arrived. They gave us a very detailed walk around explaining everything clearly and there is also a detailed manual to explain all the equipment. The driving position is good and all passengers got a panoramic view. The pick up location is also very convenient, right in the city centre. We very highly recommend this van and its excellent owners !
