Arti is een fantastische camper. Het was voor ons de eerste keer dat we met een camper op reis gingen en dat met het stuur rechts en schakelen links. De camper is zeer handelbaar en inderdaad 100% offgrid. Je kunt makkelijk een paar dagen leven op de accu's en het zonnepaneel. De inrichting is ook logisch, alles ligt opde juiste plek. Hij is prima voor zijn tweeën maar met zijn drieën is hij volgens ons te klein. Echt ern annrader Juni 2025

Reaktion von Ian Hi Sander and Caroline! Thank you so much for renting Art and your very positive review :) It was lovely meeting you and having a chat on the way to the airport. Thanks also for looking after Art so well - really happy you guys had a brilliant time travelling the NC500 in the camper and glad you put the 'off-grid' and leisure battery capacity to the test! As for 3 people in it, it's certainly cosy :) We had a family of 3 rent before (review below - Anthony) and I've travelled with my wife and sister and with two old school friends for a week but you'd definitely want to be very comfortable with your travel companions, I agree! It's pretty comical having close-quarters, adult-sleepovers Haha. Hope to see you guys again one day and Caroline - love your ceramics on Insta! Thank you for sharing.

WOW! What an incredible trip! This was our first time renting a motorhome and it couldn’t have gone smoother. We couldn’t recommend Ian and his van anymore, his service and communication was impeccable making everything very easy. The design of the interior of the van was very well thought out, it has everything thing you need and more! I would recommend Ian and his van to anyone! Thank you, Harv & Soph Mai 2025

Reaktion von Ian Thank you for the review Harvey and Sophie and thanks for being such easy going travellers! It was really nice to meet with you, chat with you, answer all the van questions and hear that you'd had a great first vanning experience. Thanks for all the lovely feedback as well and hope to you guys back up here in the Highlands soon :)

I cannot recommend booking Art enough! We have just come back from one of the best weeks of our lives! The van is really well thought out and easy to use, it’s the perfect space for a Scottish (or further afield) adventure. It is light and airy, but super cosy in the evenings, with a very efficient heater should you need it. The kitchen has everything you could need to make all meals and the bed is really comfy. My boyfriend said it was a great van to drive. The cab is really comfy and spacious, with a charger / Bluetooth radio adapter for your tunes (or a very eclectic selection of CDs). It’s also insanely fuel efficient, we only filled up once in a week and we went to Lewis, Harris and Skye! Ian and Raji were beyond great and even stocked the fridge with some beers for my boyfriend’s birthday! They were incredibly communicative throughout the booking process, and really helpful and patient when we had an issue with driving licenses, which I was really grateful for. I could blabber on for an age about how great the experience was; I will be recommending Art, Ian and Raji to everyone I meet for the foreseeable!!! Thank you so much :) (Also very much recommend the Isle of Lewis and Harris - in particular Immerse Hebrides whale and dolphin watching boat tour and Reef beach campsite in Kneep.) Mai 2025

Reaktion von Ian Holly, that's such a nice review :) thank you. The photos look incredible and thank you for sharing the little video as well - what a great surprise birthday trip! I think we (you!) did an amazing job of keeping it secret and James was clearly buzzing, "literally, the best week of my life". Raji and I get so much joy from meeting and hearing about the trips of everyone who keeps Art singing through the Highlands and Islands so thank you for renting from us, thank you for the good energy and chats and let us know if you're back this way. Making the move is not as hard as it seems when you already have friends up here now ;) Hope to see you guys again sometime soon!

Art is an excellent van. Great to drive and very comfortable. We slept great with the comfy bedding, bedding, and light out curtains provided. Van was very clean and organized. The van came with everything we needed to make meals and have a great time. We hit some very rainy weather and we stayed dry and warm in Art with the great heater. Ian was very communicative and warm and friendly. He made picking up and dropping off the van very easy. He took time to show us all the ins and outs of the van to make sure we had a great time. He helped us make a plan and was super with helping us by answering questions about van camping in Scotland We loved our experience and highly recommend art the van and Ian to everyone. Mai 2025

Reaktion von Ian Aaron and Matt - thank you so much for the review and your kindness, good humour and positivity in the face of some serious 'off your feet' Cairngorms summit wind and wet weather. As they say in Scotland' "it was blowing a Hooley!" You got the full Scottish blasting, but that's really when Art actually comes into his own ... He's unbelievable to come back to from those days lol and nice to wait out the storm too so glad you felt the same. It was really lovely to meet you guys and thank you for looking after Art so well - returned in god condition, all comms were easy and never felt like work. Generally good experience with you guys all round and nice to get to know you a bit in the way to the airport drop-off too :) Look forward to meeting you guys again in Colorado, so thank you for the invite! We'll be in your doorstep before you can say, 'We saw a field of cabbages'.

Had an amazing time on the NC 500. Ian was super helpful and gave us a proper run down in the van. Art took us all round with no problems tackling some of the littler roads with easy. Super warm to come back too. Mai 2025

Reaktion von Ian Ah, thanks for the review Rob! It was really great to meet you guys, chat van building, NC500 highlights and Dornoch eats! Hopefully we'll see you guys again and you can talk me through your van build! :)

the booking of the van went smoothly. Ian and Raji are very nice people and we were able to enjoy our Wales vacation to the fullest! "Art" is a great van and everything worked perfectly. Simple and easy. We will definitely book it again. April 2025

Reaktion von Ian Thank you for your lovely review. It was great to meet you and Lola for your trip and glad it all went smoothly. Thank you also for the nice chats, the tip for the canal in the sky and for looking after Art so well. Would be great to welcome you both up in Scotland whenever you manage to get up this way :)

We hired Art for a week-long adventure through Skye and Harris, and had a great time! The van was comfortable, spacious, and equipped with everything we needed for cooking, sleeping, and storage. The medium wheelbase made it easy to drive too. The separate storage area under the bed was good to have. It (just!) fit our two mountain bikes and was great for keeping our bikes, helmets, and gear organised and out of the way. Ian was fantastic—he gave us a thorough walkthrough of the van before we set off and even checked in during our trip to make sure everything was going smoothly. We had an amazing time and would highly recommend Art for anyone looking for the perfect adventure van! September 2024

Reaktion von Ian Fiona! I'm so sorry I have taken this long to respond. I only now saw I hadn't! Thank you for the fantastic review and for being so easy going, nice to chat with and for looking after the van so we'll. Those bikes only just squeezed in, hey!?..glad it all worked out and you got on with some great Adventures. Hope to see you around Inverness soon! All the best, Ian

Ian is one of the kindest and coolest humans we've had the pleasure of meeting/renting from over the years! He was extremely responsive and answered our (millions, ha!) of questions before the trip + provided some awesome food and hiking/adventuring reccos - we absolutely loved Culture Cafe in Inverness! Handoff was easy, and Ian was timely/responsive. We had such a lovely experience overall in the van. The kitchen was perfect and had everything we needed for our 10 day roadtrip (we cooked from scratch almost every meal), plus the bed and other amenities in the van were so comfy. We took the van about 750+ miles and everything was very smooth plus Ian was avail at all times if we had questions pop up during the trip. We did the entire NC500 with some added coastline and a visit to the Isle of Skye. More info below! Some campsites we enjoyed: - Wick River (easily walk to Wick) - Shieldaig (family owned, nice location) - Port o Bhaig - Portree Campsite was easy for Isle of Skye (could walk into town from the camp) An absolutely stunning hike with views: - Stac Pollaidh - The Quiraing (the weather didn't permit this hike but it was unreal to see even from the start of it) - The Old man of Storr (go early before others) A must try food spot: - Shorehouse Restaurant in Tarbet/Lairg - on a really windy/small road that takes you to the end of a port/bay that feels like you are in a movie! Some stops we loved in good weather: - Castle Sinclair (walk far to the right over the hill away from the castle, found some great sea stacks with epic views, no one around or any other tourists in sight!) - Duncansby Stacks - Strathy Beach (jumped in the water in August!) Achmelvich Bay would have been good too but we didn't get lucky with the weather that day - Whaligoe Steps - Latheronwheel Harbour and bridge - Thurso (wish we could have walked around more here) August 2024

Reaktion von Ian I'm embarrassed I haven't replied until now. I have only just seen now that I overlooked this. It was an absolute pleasure having you guys visit and take Art out in the good loop ;) It was so nice chatting with you guys too - I wasn't in such a good way with my injury at the time but your kindness and positive energy gave me a real lift. Awesome you really used the van to it's full, staying off grid, cooking loads and adventuring from there. Great recommendations above and thank you for the photo you took of me too. It's actually the image that flashes to me when I think of the experience renting the camper that summer, helping to pay the bills whilst I couldn't work. Hope you guys are doing really well. All the best, Ian

My husband Benji and I had the BEST time discovering the North Coast 500 with "Art". The van had everything we needed and was absolutely comfortable and cozy inside! Due to the perfect size of the van we discovered the most beautiful spots to stay for the night and had a great time overall! Ian was extremely kind and explained everything we needed to know, so we had an easy time figuring everything out. We loved our trip and would definitely wanna travel with "Art" a second time! Thanks a lot for the great experience Ian & Raji! August 2024

Reaktion von Ian Hi Kim and Benji, it was really such a pleasure to meet you and hand the keys over to Art for your trip around the NC500. Thank you for the positive energy, for looking after Art so well and for making renting for the first summer such a fun experience. Would love to meet up with you guys when in Switzerland...maybe 2026 once the leg is fully healed. All the best, hope you are both are really well and enjoying life :) Ian
