If you enjoyed your VW camper van holiday with Devon Happy Campers we'd love to hear from you:

12th - 14th Sept 09 A surprise weekend for Nigel, Dee's other half!

 Hi Tracy,

Wonderful! Glad Lola survived our visit-such a fab time we loved every minute!

I attach a couple of terrible pics from our weekend...I am not sure you will want to put off future customers with our ugly mugs but there you go!
The only downside is that my other half is now obsessed with buying a van and I can see all future holidays cancelled as we save for the deposit!!
All the very best
Dee

 Hello Tracy,

Thank you so much for helping make our honeymoon something we will remember until we are old and grey, we are already trying to plan our next little adventure in either Lola or Matilda and you will definitely hear from us again!
 
Thanks a million!

1st - 5th Sept 09  Steve had organised a surprise birthday weekend for his wife...

Hi Tracy

We had a great time, and for the last few nights we've woken up in the night thinking we're still in the van!

Thanks for all your help and assistance to make a great holiday.

Regards

Steve.

Graham & Charlie's Week

For many, 'girls in orange',
means a lady with fake tan,
but to me, my son and all that know us,
It's Matilda the Camper Van!

She made a little boys dream come true,
When he heard the engine roar,
He fell in love with a modern legend,
And the boy is forty-four!

For miles and miles she flew along,
Hills gave her no real grief,
And you could feel her smile down the otherside,
Or was it sheer relief?!

When it rained outside, we were warm,
Snug in our 'house on wheels',
I'd always fancied a 'hippy trip',
And now I know how it feels.

It started out as a trip for two,
My 8 year-old son and me,
But very soon she takes over your life,
And its a holiday for 'three'!

We saw villages, towns, beaches and rivers,
Forests, hills and the sea,
I can't thank the orange lady enough
For her week with Charlie and me!

A brilliantly different, unique week. So many people came and spoke about Matilda; some VW experts, some just like me, just a romantic old fool. We were made welcome everywhere, and were the envy of many.

This was my first time hiring a VW Camper van, and it will not be my last.

Recommended; an outstanding area, plenty to see and visit all around Devon and a wonderful companion to share it all with.

Thank you, I should have done it years ago!

Graham

20th - 24th July 09 We managed to squeeze Brian & Patricia in between our summer bookings for a last minute weekend with Matilda... 

Dear Tracy,

Hope this email finds you well.  We've written and sent photos of our trip with Matilda the same week we returned but only just discovered that the email was not delivered - probably due to too many photos. I'm sending them to you one at a time. Thank you so much for accommodating us on such short notice - we truly enjoyed our three nights with Matilda in North Devon, and hope to take her out again soon :)  We've written a short note in her diary in her glove compartment.  We were in Falmouth last week and told all our friends and family about how wonderful Devon Happy Campers has helped make our holiday :) Thank you again and fingers crossed for better weather soon. We've just gone back to work this week (poo-wee!)

Warm regards,
Patricia & Brian Hitchcock

To Tracy

Thank you for the hire of the orange vw campervan that I went to my prom in, it was amazing!

Just 1 night's hire but Matilda did us proud and brought back these wonderful comments...

10th - 11th May 09

We had such an amazing weekend!  Matilda took us to Woolacombe where the weather was sunny and to blustery Exmoor!  It was a surprise weekend planned by my boyfriend who knew I had grown up with VW's and it was the best birthday present ever!
Matilda was great and it was so nice to find the cupboards stocked with gadgets as we had forgotten a couple of bits.
I wish we were cruising in Matilda for longer...shame it is back to reality now!

Ellen (& Alex!)

Thank you MatildaWe've had a fantastic weekend!

We were all so excited when we first saw her in all her orange splendour.  Our Matilda adventure took us to Gower in Wales for a camping weekend.  The journey was great fun & once we'd got there we found we had absolutely everything we needed for our weekend. 2 of us slept in Matilda & 2 in the awning.  It was perfect.

We will certainly be recommending our Matilda experience to all our friends.  Thank you again for a very memorable time & an experience the girls and us will remember for a lot of years to come.

Lucy, Tim, Mia (4½) & Florence (2½) Powell.

Fantastic holiday!  Thank you so much for a great experience...Would do it again any time...wonderfully refurbished camper van and completely authentic - we have already prebooked our rental period for next year - Margie & John Smith, Scotland

We chose Devon Happy Campers because: it was really simple to get the train down to Exeter and then pick up our van exactly where we wanted to spend our holiday, on the south Devon coast.  It is a beautiful place, loads of lovely beaches and seaside towns and Matilda was the perfect vehicle for the trip – real fun to drive and very relaxing for mooching around the country roads.  We love camping but the van was even better, knowing that if the British weather did it’s worst we wouldn’t wake up in the morning soaked through.  Having the fridge and cooker too - was just so handy. We had a fantastic holiday and Tracy at Devon Happy Campers was lovely, really helpful.  We’d definitely use them again - Helen and Andy Wright
