Lovely to drive around and see ScotlandDicky Dalton, Watford, Hertfordshire on 01/21/2008 It’s good to see that when you are looking for motorhome hire in Scotland you can pick one up from almost anywhere you choose. Dave Gibbs, London on 01/21/2008 I do love Scotland, but the one thing you just cannot rely on is the weather! I’ve had some very very wet times up there and right in the middle of summer too! Monica Richardson, Putney, London on 01/22/2008 I just realised that if you are looking for Glasgow Prestwick Airport motorhome hire you need to really get a motorhome from Ayr and not Glasgow.That’s OK though as they have campervans and motorhomes in Ayr too Stanley Boardman, Santa Monica, California, USA on 01/22/2008 One of the best places in the world to visit Troy Dooley, Vancouver, Canada on 01/23/2008 I think this would be a blast. What a way to see some great sites. Lykke Li Zachrinsson, Stockholm, Sweden on 06/09/2008 motorhome hire scotland - what an excellent idea!

Motorhome Hire Scotland
German Christmas Markets by Motorhome
This is a superb opportunity to visit two of Europe’s best Christmas markets in Holland and Germany, and of course the chance to stock up on Christmas beer, wine and spirits at low, French prices. This tour is could be done as a 14 day motorhome hire tour which could include some more historic towns in Germany as well as Luxembourg and Belgium.
The Dutch town of Valkenburg holds its annual Christmas markets in superb setting of a local cave. This means that even if it rains or snows everybody should be dry and comfortable. The stalls sell everything the Dutch associate with Christmas, including room and tree decorations, seasonal delicacies and some different ideas for Christmas presents.
About 20 miles from Valkenburg is the German town of Aachen, which holds one of Germany’s biggest and best Christmas Markets. It is always interesting to compare the two different Christmas events and we usually arrange to spend an evening at the Aachen event.
The campsite in Valkenburg is within 10 minutes walk of the caves so you needn’t worry about indulging in the more potent Christmas spirits which may be available!
If you would like to book a motorhome to visit Germany call 0800 612 8719 or click here for motorhome hire availability
The north of the country lures outdoors enthusiasts with lovely settings promising fabulous hiking. The Moselle Valley, just east of Luxembourg City, is one of Europe’s most idyllic wine-producing regions. And the capital is no more than an hour’s drive from anywhere else in the country.

A typical 14 day motorhome Christmas market tour
Why not include Luxembourg and Belgium?
Saturday
Pick up your motorhome and get familiar with it. If you want to, you could spend Saturday evening at a campsite near Dover.Sunday
On Sunday catch a morning ferry from Dover to Calais. After disembarking, you can drive of about 220 miles, nearly all on motorway, to arrive at the campsite in the town of Valkenburg. The campsite has its own snack bar, and a choice of restaurants is within 5 minutes walk.Monday
The town of Valkenburg has its own, unique Christmas market, held annually in two caves, within 10 minutes walk of the campsite. There are a huge variety of stalls selling Christmas items which may be familiar to you – along with some others which you may not recognize. The caves are open all day, so you can visit this wonderful spectacle whenever you wish throughout the day.Tuesday
Visit the world-famous Aachen Christmas market. You will be able to spend the evening tasting the various local specialities (including their wonderful mulled wine called Glühwein) and comparing the German Christmas items with the Dutch.Wednesday
Why not have a completely free day so that you can relax and explore the town of Valkenburg at your leisure – or re-visit the Christmas Market!Thursday
Head south, Monschau is near the Belgian border. Monschau offers visitors a wealth of things to see and do. Quaint shops, romantic old streets, half timbered buildings, a wonderful selection of restaurants & cafes, a historic mustard mill, various museums and the old friary to mention just a few.Friday
Today you can choose what to do at Monschau, there is the Guido-Breuer Historic Mustard Factory, the Red House Museum, a Monschau Train Tour and a Glass MuseumSaturday
You could travel to Koblenz today. Lovely Koblenz has been nicknamed the “corner of Germany” because of its geographical position as a meeting point between the Rhine and Mosel rivers. Rebuilt with great care after WWII, Koblenz has become a bustling center of the mid-Rhineland region. Its roads lead to castle dotted landscapes, lush vineyards and to region’s larger cities.Sunday
Today is a laidback lazy Sunday in Koblenz. The main sites of Koblenz are the Old Town, Church Of Our Lady, Mittelrhein Museum, Basilica St. Kastor, Ehrenbreitstein Fortress, Rhein Mosel Halle.Monday
Now travel west on the A48 to Trier. Trier is an important gateway, lying only 10km (6 miles) from Luxembourg on the western frontier of Germany, where the Ruwer and Saar rivers meet the Mosel. The city is rich not only in art and tradition, but also, because of its location, in wine — it’s one of Germany’s largest exporters.Tuesday
Today we go to Luxembourg where fuel is the cheapest in Europe, also tobacco and wine are ridiculously cheap too.The north of the country lures outdoors enthusiasts with lovely settings promising fabulous hiking. The Moselle Valley, just east of Luxembourg City, is one of Europe’s most idyllic wine-producing regions. And the capital is no more than an hour’s drive from anywhere else in the country.
Wednesday
Today we go into Belgium and on to Brugge. Known as Venice of the North, Brugge is a charming and uniquely captivating city. Built over a network of canals dating back to the 13th century, Brugge has been remarkably preserved and changed little. The centre is a maze of cobbled streets filled with gastronomic restaurants, winding waterways and Brugge also has some of the most magnificent examples of gothic architecture in Europe. Chocolate is very important to Belgians and Brugge is home to many shops selling the best in Belgian Chocolate!Thursday
Sadly it’s time to head back to Calais and spend the night in the municipal campsite near the beach. The site can best be described as “adequate” but it is one of the few campsites in northern France which is open at this time of the year. You could treat yourself to an end-of-tour dinner in a good quality local restaurant if you want to give the chef a rest.Friday
This morning we go to Cité Europe to stock up on the other Christmas essentials, wine, beer, whisky, cognac etc. etc. The savings you make can really help make your Christmas easier on your pocket. Don’t forget to fill up with cheap diesel before boarding the ferry.Motorhome Rentals
These are some questions and answers supplied by Karen from Motorholme, our new partners in motorhome rentals.
Some of the most common questions and answers regarding motorhome hire:
Can I take my dog/pet?
Yes, in most vehicles it is OK, provided that you understand you are responsible for any damages or extra cleaning charges that might be involved.
Do you hold a bond?
No - many motorhome hire companies require a cash cleared bond of between £500 to £1250 in addition to the hire charge. This is then returned to you if the van is returned in an acceptable fashion and all rules have been adhered to. MotorHolme do not agree with this practise and we do not believe it is either ethical nor legally enforceable.
Can I leave my car?
Yes, at all our locations we provide complimentary parking facilities - cars are parked at owners risk
Is there any training on how to operate the motorhome?
Yes - every motorhome has a full handover session covering all aspects of the vehicle operation and safety which takes about half an hour.
Do I need to book camp sites?
Yes - in the peak season space is very limited and it is worthwhile booking ahead. Some of the top UK sites are members only and you may wish to join the Caravan Club who offer sites and also certified locations to their members for around £39 per year.
Can I just stop and stay anywhere?
No - aside from your own personal security, most councils have a zero tolerance policy on illegal overnight parking, it is best to stay at camp sites or certified locations if you can. In Europe you can usually stay over at any of the motorway services for a minimal fee.
What is included in the vehicle?
We aim to provide everything you need for a camper van holiday, but items like bedding are not normally included unless you are travelling from overseas. We also do not provide camping items such as chairs and tables. Everything such as cutlery, crockery, shower, fridge, gas bottles, toilet cleaining fluid etc. is included.
How do I book a vehicle?
If you see a model that you like on our web site, call us. We can give you up to the minute availability and you can make your reservation over the phone. We require a deposit to hold the booking and the balance is due at least 1 month prior to collecting the vehicle.
Do you accept credit cards?
Yes - we accept all major credit and debit cards.
I hope these questions and answers are useful - do not hesitate to call Motorholme directly, if you have any more questions or queries.

Costa del Azahar
Location
Well it certainly is not perfect, it is 0.5km to the nearest beach, but that is a pebble beach that my daughter does not really like, "too hard", she says. The nearest sandy beach is 4km. There is the very scary N340 road right next to it with trucks thundering up and down all the time, but to be honest we do not really notice the noise, it is all hidden away from us. There are three excellent supermarkets within ’spitting’ distance and there is a busy town just 4km away.
The camping pitches
There are lots of great size pitches (parcelas) each surrounded by hedges and palm trees, each pitch has 6A mains hook up and a small stone sink so that you do not have to carry any water from the water supply. The ground is level and covered with small stones. You can easily manoeuvre a caravan or motorhome into the pitches and you can specify sun or shade. If you do not have a caravan, you can rent one of the wooden chalets very cheaply too.
Toilets and washing facilities
There are two toilet and shower blocks. The toilets have seats and toilet paper, quite rare for a Spanish campsite. The showers are hot at all times of the day. The sinks all have mirrors and liquid soap. The cleaning lady seems to hover about all day keeping them immaculate.
The bar and restaurant
At the time of writing a pint of St Miguel costs 1.50€ and you can have a slap up meal for 2 for just 30€, unbelievable! There is even a free wireless internet connection or if you do not have your own computer there are two PCs that are just available to use. Brilliant!
The swimming pool
A 25m pool and smaller baby pool is open from Easter until November, it is not heated, so can be cool sometimes, but is thoroughly refreshing when the sun is baking down.
The ambiance
Well, like any bargain priced European camp site, out of season it is full of retired folk from Britain, Belgium and Holland who are escaping the grey wet miserable weather at home to have a long rest in the sun. We have got to know people here who stay here for 8 months of the year and everyone is very chilled and laid back. It is never too busy and I have never complained about it being too quiet either.
The price
We have always found staying here to be cheaper than staying at home. At the time of writing (which is ‘low season’) a ‘parcela’ with 6A electricity for a caravan plus car or motorhome is 10.70€/per night if you stay for more than 8 days. No problem there, the first time we came here we booked for 3 nights, but stopped for 5 weeks!!"

Motorhome enthusiast
Rick Lomas is from Newcastle, Staffs, England. He lived around Staffordshire until 1980 when he went to live in Cardiff and then the following year in Aberystwyth, Dyfed, Wales. Here he worked as a bass player in a band called ‘Tony Lamb’s Boogie Box’ and eventually moved a few miles up the cost to Borth. Borth was Rick’s first taste of living in a caravan, in fact it was a static caravan at Ynyslas. Rick shared the caravan with Mike Mullins and had a great summer in 1983.
Rick left Wales in 1984 and lived for a short while back in Stoke-On-Trent with his parents before moving onto Coventry.
After Coventry Rick moved ‘down south’ to Finchley, London. In 1985 Rick went to Hatfield Polytechnic which is know known as The University of Hertfordshire. Rick studied Electronic Engineering where his interest in the UNIX operating system was to prove useful later on. At the time his home was in Radlett, Hertfordshire where he remained when he then got a job working as a Unix Systems Administrator for Reed Elsevier in Clerkenwell, London.
The money from the job in London was sufficient for him to buy a 1 bedroom flat in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, where he lived from 1989 until 2001.
In 2001 Rick left the UK to live in Serre Chevalier, France. In France Rick enjoys skiing, mountain biking and working on his online businesses. The chance meeting with Andrew Hughes of Motorholme, served to be a great amalgamation of skills, enterprising spirit and ambition. Rick’s main focus is the motorhome hire business and the promotion of business for Motorholme is his main work.
Rick Lives with wife Susan, a writer and artist, his daughter Madeline. Rick has a Mooveo Motorhome in the UK, an Eccles Amethyst Caravan in Spain and a Ski Chalet in France and spends roughly equal amounts of time in these 3 countries.

Motorhome hire, a different kind of holiday
Hiring a motorhome and just taking off somewhere is just different. You can’t compare it with something like a package holiday it really isn’t the same. Last weekend we were invited to spend a few days with some friends at the Camping Hippocampe at Volonne, near Sisteron in Provence, France. There was actually 18 of us there, a mixture of people from the UK, Corsica and France. The ages of the people there went from Alfie, age 8 months to my friend Clive, 51 (years not months) so some of us were quite happy to hang around the bar and some were happy to hang around with the kids at the swimming pool. But what made it for me was when my daughter said, “can we go back to the motorhome?”, all she wanted to do there was just chill. ‘Chilling’ doesn’t come naturally to young Madeline (aged 4), so it was quite a relief for everyone.
Later on that evening we had a great alfresco meal and then devoured our way through a 10 litre ‘box’ of Vin Rosé. OK we got ‘told off’ slightly for making too much noise, but it was bedtime really. In the morning Madeline just woke up and wandered over to our friends tent and started playing with their kids, which was quite relaxing for us too.
So what did I learn from this? Well it was mainly that you can enjoy camping for camping’s sake and nothing else. Just a peaceful time spent with friends and fellow campers.
For your information, even though it is nearly September, the weather down near Sisteron was beautiful. Each day was about 28C, but in the evening it cooled off nicely so that you could get a good night’s sleep. Even though it was just a short stay, I really did enjoy it and it’s really put me in the mood for when we go to Spain in October.
Do yourself a favour, call 0800 612 8719 and ask about motorhome hire. It will soon be out of season and you can benefit from out of season prices and flexible hire dates.

The Mazda Bongo was first made in 1995, which is based on a Japanese people carrier. It is normally powered by a 128 bhp 2.5 litre turbo diesel engine, it is usually fitted with a four speed automatic gearbox and is available in rear wheel drive or as a full time 4×4.
The standard equipment is very comprehensive including an amazing electric lifting roof and even electric blinds on most models! The more standard features are front and rear air conditioning, power steering, electric mirrors and electric windows.
At the touch of a button, the elevating roof opens automatically and gives you a choice of layouts and functions. The inner roof platform can be pushed upwards allowing maximum headroom, whilst still leaving useful storage space. With the platform down an additional upper sleeping area can be created accommodating 2 more adults.
The Mazda Bongo is a unique 4 berth, 5 or 6 seat camper conversion which provides a fantastic blend of an everyday user-friendly people carrier which is economical and compact enough for day to day use, school runs and the supermarket car park. It transforms into the perfect family camper for trips out, weekends aways & brilliant holidays.
So why not change your life today - take a holiday in a Bongo!
The conversions can be either a traditional 4 or 6 seat side layout giving maximum headroom.
A quality vehicle with 2 burner stainless steel hob and smoked glass top, making sink unit, full electric pack and mains hook-up.
