Would not recommend, especially for solo female travellers.
Before we’d even met, the owner made inappropriate comments about me being “stressed” , after I simply asked about legally disposing of the toilet cassette. Pickup arrangements were changed to a private car park at the last minute and rushed through with no proper handover.
The most serious issue: I was locked in said private car park by the site manager, who aggressively questioned me and made me apologise before letting me out — leaving me genuinely frightened as a solo female traveller. When I explained this to the owner, there was no apology, just a comment that the manager was “unhappy with how I’d spoken to him,” followed by tighter demands on returning the van.
At no point did the owner show any concern for my wellbeing or safety. I cut my trip short just to avoid further confrontation, and emailed him afterwards to explain the impact this had — he has not responded at all. All in all, a deeply disappointing and upsetting experience.
