Ruby our VW T25 Holdsworth Villa 3 Conversion

We had an excellent time in Ruby the campervan. As well as being comfortable, spacious and stylish, Ruby was exceptionally well kitted out with all we needed for our holiday. Owners Tony and Janine were very easy to communicate with and ensured that all the arrangements for payment, collection and return went absolutely smoothly, with no issues whatsoever. We thoroughly recommend Ruby, Tony and Janine.

What a gorgeous camper! And such a friendly service. They both went above and beyond to look after us and the added extras such as cookies and crisps made our day x

I have just returned from a two-week trip round the UK with my 2 teenage kids in Ruby and I want to share the experience. Firstly, the process of renting was a straightforward one and Tony came to meet us and introduce us to campervan life. He took the time to give us a thorough introduction to the workings of the van and I would say that at this point, it is worth taking a few notes if you haven't driven a camper before. We specifically chose an original VW campervan over more high tech newer versions as we wanted that full campervan experience - at least once in our lives - and Ruby was no disappointment: all our fantasies rolled into one beautiful van! Inside: the conversion was great, the rock and roll bed surprisingly comfortable and with the extra mattresses provided by Tony and Janine, along with duvets, blankets and extra pillows, we were all very comfortable. My son slept in the awning - it took us about 20 minutes to figure it out on the first go, but after that, we got the set up time down to about 6.5 minutes! It was great to have a cooker that made toast and combined with the awesome little gas BBQ provided and the all-important wind break (also provided) it allowed us to make pasta and fry stuff up at the same time instead of the usual camping problem of a long wait to cook each thing consecutively. Improvements: the fridge worked great when plugged in at the campsites, but we couldn't get it to work while driving and we never really got the heating to work. We noticed a small oil leak over the two weeks too - nothing that stopped us in our tracks and we were able to contact Janine and Tony along the way to consult them. The support they gave us throughout was excellent. Tony was kind enough to take time out from his own holiday in Wales to catch up with us, check the engine over and find a solution. We covered almost 2000 miles and honestly, she was a bit of a tough drive, my back suffered from the tough pedals, lack or power steering and challenging gears, which I wasn't prepared for, but only to be expected from a vintage van. On the other hand the waves from like minded folk were just wonderful... and yes it is great to be on the road in any campervan but when your camper has something unique it is even more special! Altogether this was an experience not to be missed and the memories we made in Ruby will keep us smiling for a long time to come.
