Reviews of South Lakes Motorhome Hire

Just returned from touring the North West of Scotland... this is the second time we've used South Lakes Motorhome Hire... Sam and Adam provide a first class motorhome with a fantastic and friendly service...they provide loads of videos on how to operate all the many features that the motorhome has... this was excellent as we were new to it and made the holiday run very smoothly. We will definitely be booking with them again and would look nowhere else! 😀

We are just back from a week long trip around the north coast of Scotland. From start to finish the service from South Lakes Motorhome Hire was first class. Before our trip Sam helped us with some advice on planning our route and overnight stops. Before setting off we were provided with instruction videos on how everything on the motorhome worked, these were really helpful. On collecting the motorhome everything was really clean and ready to go. The motorhome itself is a really good size, easy to drive and straight forward to work all the controls. In the current climate having our own cooking and bathroom facilities was fantastic helping us to feel more at ease as we travelled around. We really enjoyed our trip and would definitely recommend South Lakes Motorhome Hire.

Our first motorhome holiday didn't disappoint! Helped by great safe service from Sam and an awesome van our road trip around Scotland was fantastic. We have 3 children and they loved the motorhome adventure, it never felt too cramped either. Thanks guys, we definetley recommend!

Just back from our first motorhome holiday touring through the Lake District. We hired a motorhome from Sam for our first experience as a family of 4 to see if we liked it, which we did, we all enjoyed travelling in the motorhome and look forward to doing it again. The motorhome was new, clean and well equipped. It comes ready with all the crockery and catering equipment you’ll need. The beds are comfortable, and has plenty of space for 4 people to live, eat, watch TV etc. There is plenty of storage spaces and the garage is very useful for loading up at the start. We had 4 bikes on the bike rack, and it was very easy to mount and secure them. The van was easy to drive, no more difficult than a car. Sam completed a very extensive handover at the start, so we were able to use all the functions of the van. Highly recommended!

We hired a motorhome from South Lakes Motorhome hire for the weekend and travelled to Silloth. From booking to pick up to drop off nothing was too much trouble and the videos were helpful and informative for amateurs like us. We would highly recommend hiring from them and we shall be doing so every time we want to hire a motorhome.

Really enjoyed the time we spent with South Lakes Motorhomes 6 Berth camper. We spent a little time touring Inverness and around the cairngorms. Couldn't fault start to end of our experience, and to add Sam made it as easy and informative from the go. All in all a very smart and comfortable camper that I would recommend to anyone wanting this type of break/holiday. This was a new kind of mini break that we would normally have but I have to say we will making it more regular and I am sure we will be back.

South Lakes provided a great service from start to finish. They were really helpful during the booking process and the motorhome was just as described and in great condition. The Covid video handover was good and it also meant you still had the videos to check during the trip. Sam was very helpful with hints and tips and also available to deal with any queries we had during the trip. Great people to deal with and I would highly recommend them.

Adam and Sam were amazing from our first enquiry to after our Mororhome hire. This was our first Motorhome holiday and we look forward to booking more with them. Supporting Local. Supporting small businesses.

Myself and my husband have just spent the first week of September in the highlands and couldn’t be happier with the motorhome from South Lakes Hire. Right from our first enquiry Sam was helpful, offered loads of info about where to stop and stay along with a much appreciated first visit to look at the motorhome. Sam is super organised and provides all the information you need for your trip, right through from the time of booking to the first day of hire. The motorhome is so well equipped and really luxurious to use and drive. Everything is provided from the comprehensive run through when you collect the motorhome to the literature and how-to guide included within. We had an amazing time and a very different experience from camping, which gave us a lot more freedom and luxury of choice. Sam was always available for any questions and incredibly helpful and a pleasure to speak with. We found the cost and flexibility offered by South Lakes great value and well worth it! This trip was very different to other times we have visited Scotland and Sam’s attention to detail, first class service and amazing motorhome made it what it was. Thanks Sam! Emma & Lee x

We've just returned from 2 weeks touring Scotland in a South Lakes Motorhome & would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to hire. Samantha was great to deal with, from our first contact to ask whether our 3 dogs would be allowed, allowing us to view the motorhome before booking, providing us with information on campsites to help plan our trip, giving full instructions on everything in the motorhome on collection to checking it over on our return and refunding our security deposit within 1 day of return. The motorhome was very well equipped with most things you are likely to need during your holiday & the drop down bed was great to ensure our dogs stayed in their own beds rather than jumping on our bed as they do in our current caravan! Despite its size my husband found the motorhome very easy to drive and even commented after getting back into our own, much smaller car, that it felt heavier to drive than the motorhome! We hired the motorhome as a trial before we decide whether to upgrade our caravan or change to a motorhome & it's convinced us that a motorhome will be the way to go at some point in the future. In the meantime, I would certainly use South Lakes again.

Just spent 2 wks touring Scotland and had a wonderful time. Sam was very helpful and knowledgeable and let us visit the van when we booked. We were in touch regularly before our holiday arrived and Sam was always on hand to answer an queries. On pickup day, we were given a very detailed run through all the equipment before we left. There was a useful folder full of information along with campsite guides and a good atlas. The van was big enough for all of us, 2 adults and 3 kids and 1 small dog. The van was well equipped and there was a thoughtful welcome pack to get us going, tea bags, coffee, biscuits etc. The van was clean, comfortable and we got into a routine quickly. We visited some wonderful places and stayed on some lovely sites and had a great time. Thank you

We have just come back from a weeks holiday to Scotland in our rented motorhome from South Lakes Motorhome hire. We had an amazing time and the motorhome was excellent, with all the home comforts you can imagine. Everything was provided, so we just had to turn up with our duvet, pillows and clothes. We had such a good time we really didn't want to give the motorhome back. Everything was spotlessly clean, the van was excellent to drive and toasty and warm, with central heating. Any correspondence was quickly answered and we always felt that we were being looked after. I would definitely recommend hiring from South Lakes Motorhome hire, in fact we have booked again for two weeks next year and we can't wait.

Having just got back from a weekend away renting a South Lakes motorhome, we thought we needed to write a review of the excellent experience that we had with them. Firstly, Sam and Adam were extremely helpful and polite from the very first moment that we met them. They were able to offer a wealth of advice and it was clear to see that they really did care about their customers and the experience they have whilst hiring from South Lakes Motorhome Hire. There was a comprehensive handover making sure that we were comfortable with how everything worked before driving off, as well as a detailed manual for reference kept in the vehicle. Sam reiterated on several occasions the fact that she was always at the end of an email or phone call if we were to experience any problems whilst we were using the motorhome. The motorhome itself was immaculate and practically brand new. We had no problems whatsoever with the motorhome whilst we were using it and wouldn't hesitate to use the motorhome from South Lakes again in the future. Everything you needed for a nice trip was already hidden away in the masses of cupboards within the vehicle, from cooking utensils right down to tea and coffee. On a costing note, we had seen other motorhomes with the same specification as this one from other companies online. Their prices however, were miles away from the low prices that South Lakes Motorhome Hire charge for rentals. Another important aspect was that with these other companies, they usually required a large £1250 deposit for the vehicle whilst South Lakes only require £750 or £1000 if you're aged 23-25. South Lakes were also incredibly flexible with the pick-up and drop-off times, offering early pick and late drop-off for only a small amount more without having to pay for additional nights unlike other companies. We really cannot fault South Lakes Motorhome Hire and cannot recommend them highly enough! If you want an excellent motorhome hire from a superb family run business then South Lakes Motorhome Hire is definitely the place to go. We will certainly be using them again in the (hopefully, not too distant) future. Thanks South Lakes!!

Without hesitation 5 star! We hired the motorhome for a week to explore Devon and Cornwall. The motorhome is immaculate and very well equipped for a comfortable holiday. Easy to drive the long distances. Sam and Adam, the owners, are most helpful and gave a very comprehensive handover before we set off. This is the second hire we've had from this family run business and will not be the last.

Very impressed with this luxurious motorhome. it was simple to drive, economical on fuel and handling was as light as a feather. Full instructions were given and backed up with the instructions folder (with pictures) which was extremely useful as back up. Storage was amble for 6 and the sleeping arrangements were comfortable and cleverly designed to optimise space. Sam couldn't have been more helpful and made the whole process transparent, easy to follow and was professional and warm at the same time. Will definitely be using again!

We first heard of South Lakes Motorhome Hire by chance, over breakfast with like minded holiday makers in the Dordogne earlier this summer. I had up until that point given up on finding such a genuine hire company . There are so many online operations purporting to have hundreds of vehicles available. It seems that most don’t actually own any, but scam owner/investors into letting out their perceived ‘pride and joy’ motorhome to all and sundry for little reward and much hassle to both themselves and their prospective hirers. We also needed a supplier willing to let our little dog Lucy travel with us. This appeared to be another obstacle with the few genuine companies we actually found. Not so for South Lakes Motorhome Hire, they gladly accept well behaved dogs (£30 fee) providing they are not allowed on the furniture or left in the vehicle unattended. South Lakes always run current model year vehicles and sell them on at the end of season. Our 7.3m long Auto Roller 707 was a gorgeous bit of kit! As we were traveling as a couple with a small dog we were able to leave the dining area set up and sleep in the full sized double bed which lowers electrically from the roof at bedtime, already made up. It apparently sleeps 7 but only has space for 6 people when on the move. The vehicle is registered with the Camping and Caravan Club, so discounted rates are available on sites run by them, a perk we used on at least a couple of the nights during our trip. Our week long trip took us through Scotland and onto Skye. The weather was atrocious for much of the time but we were always snug in our modern motorhome, equipped with a great heating system to keep us warm and an equally efficient fridge to keep the beer cool. Both work of the electric hook up when on a campsite or by gas if you fancy a night of wild camping. The company hold a £750 security deposit which I feared we might have seen the last of when I had to report a broken wing mirror early on in the week. I was instantly reassured by text message that all would be done to minimise the expense. I want to sing their praises as they kept true to their word. On arrival back in Barrow we were welcomed with a smile and told that they had already bought the spare parts £142 (receipt supplied) and if they could fit them themselves then there would be zero cost for labour. Later the same day I received an email confirming this was the case and the balance of the deposit was already back in my bank account. I look forward to our next trip and although Barrow is a little out of the way, I would make the diversion again for that added peace of mind. Thank you Sam & Adam.

As first time motorhomers we really recommend South Lakes. Sam was helpful all the through from the booking process (with COVID) right the way through when using the motorhome. Couldn't recommend them enough.

Hired the Van from Sam for the F1 GP 2018. Such knowledgeable people made the whole experience a pleasure. Very accommodating and helpful from start to finish.

Lovely holiday in the Highlands in well equipped comfortable Motorhome. Samantha and Adam were very helpful throughout booking and would definitely recommend.
