In 2020 we fell in love with Smitten, a gutted 1975 Viscount Royal caravan. Since then, Smitten has been thoughtfully renovated by professionals with a focus on practicability for families and vintage style. Now that Smitten's renovation is complete, we want to share her adventures with others. We have several hiring options available including: delivery and set up, meaning that you can enjoy your adventure without any of the hassle of setting/packing up. Smitten is also available to tow for experienced drivers. Find more photos of Smitten on Instagram: @Smittenthevintagevan

    Smitten was exactly as described with lots of games in the cupboards, coffee maker, Kettle and Toaster etc. Tim was clear and timely with communications and delivery was on time. Pick up was delayed by about 30 mins but Tim was very clear and advised of the delay early and arrived before the revised collection time. I recommend Hiring Smitten

    We absolutely loved this van and so did everyone at the event we attended. I had to give several tours. The hosts styling, attention to detail and hospitality was second to none. Highly recomended.
