Eun was fantastic at communicating from the beginning of our hire to the end. He was able to answer all our questions and kept in regular communication. We took the Lewis motorhome out from a Friday to Monday for our first adventure with 3 adults and two children(aged 8,6). This was bought as a gift for my husband who would really like to own his own motorhome but has never had the experience of going out in one before.
On arrival Eun had gone the extra mile and put up birthday banners and some complimentary treats. He showed us around the van, how to work all different aspects from heating, to lighting, to cleaning out the toilet, turning the sofa into a bed etc. He took copies of our documents and we completed the Goboony paperwork.
As a family of 5, we had two men on the trip- 6ft,4 and 6ft who were advised to use the bunks at the rear of the motorhome as they were the width of the van. They were able to lie comfortably without feeling squashed. The double bed which came down from the ceiling was also very comfortable and I slept there with one of the children. The bed came attached with side guards which made us feel at ease that no-one was going to fall off.
The van was well equipped with kettle, pots and pans, cutlery, plates and bowls, corkscrew, scissors- Eun really had thought of everything we might need! We took advantage of a bedding pack and there was also lots of blankets for cosying up at night. The van also came with camping chairs although due to the lovely Scottish weather we didnt have the opportunity to make use of that.
For our first trip we stayed within Scotland and travelled to the West and East coast staying on a Hoseasons site which allowed us access to many of the facilities on offer. It was simple and not that expensive to book and easy to attach power. We had also completed some research online and had found a site nearby for dropping the motorhome off on the Monday which was very quiet, located on a farm and the kids had a fantastic time meeting all the animals!
Overall, we had a fantastic time- despite the weather (high winds and very heavy rain!) and have already began discussing opportunities for our next trip. The Lewis motorhome was the perfect size for our family and needs.
