We hired Phoebe for the weekend and it was absolutely brilliant! From start to finish, the experience was seamless. Simon is a fantastic host, his communication was clear, friendly, and timely. He made sure we felt confident and well-prepared before setting off and was always available for any questions we had.
The van itself, a beautifully maintained 1970 VW T2, was full of character which had people asking questions and noticing. It's clear that a lot of care and attention has gone into keeping her in top condition. Despite her age, Phoebe ran smoothly with no issues at all, the drive was comfortable and stable, which made the whole trip even more enjoyable.
Inside, the van was well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable weekend getaway. There were thoughtful touches throughout, from 4 ring hob, sink, kitchen essentials and utensils to cozy bedding and blankets. Even though it was just two of us, the van could easily accommodate up to four people without feeling cramped. The layout makes great use of space, and the pop-top roof adds extra headroom.
The interior was spotless when we picked it up, clean, tidy, and inviting. It felt like stepping into a retro escape pod, but with all the modern comforts you'd hope for. We particularly appreciated the little design details that gave it personality while still being practical.
All in all, we had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend hiring Phoebe if you're looking for a unique and memorable road trip or weekend break. Whether you're a vintage camper enthusiast or just looking for something a bit different, this van delivers charm, comfort, and adventure in equal measure. I will definitely be back for another trip!
