Space is very cleverly used in our Puffins. The rear seat becomes the bed and the bed is 185cm x 105cm (6’ by 3’ 5”) Cosy but adequate for most.
Yes, we have dog friendly vans, please note on the Booking Form if you intend to bring your pet. There are a few common sense rules, the dog should not go on the upholstery, should have his/her own basket or blanket (for sleeping) be adequately restrained at all times and not be left alone in the van. There may also be the possibility of additional charges if our cleaners need to do further cleaning.

During busy periods and if you have a structured itinerary you may choose to book campsites ahead - although it is generally not necessary and you can book in on the day. If pre-booking you should consider that since the vehicle is effectively a car and will not be connected to the campsite power system (in the case of P2+ you have the choice) you might prefer a tent pitch. This will save you 60-70% of the campsite fee. If this is not possible and you require vehicle details to make a booking, the vehicle is a Fiat Doblo at 4.5 meters in length with registration YY56 KJE.

Yes, you are likely to have a very good time in your small campervan.
