Just got back from hiring our first Motorhome. The Motorhome was very well equipped and spotlessly clean. Kelly, John and the Team were so helpful with everything. They made the whole experience a pleasure. They are an extremely family friendly business and we would highly recommend them. We will definitely be back. Thanks again.

Communication prior to our holiday was great. The team were full of really helpful advice & were lovely to deal with. No issues with the motorhome apart from a trip switch went & we couldn’t find it - it was under the cutlery drawer! We had a fabulous trip to Scotland & the van was really comfortable & so easy to drive. Would highly recommend the team at Melling Motorhomes for your happy hire!!

Hired Mellings' AutoRoller 747 for 10 days in Sept 2024. The service from Kelly, Claire and John was fantastic. They answered all our questions and eased our ancient minds on any aspect of our holiday. I honestly cannot recommend them more! The MH ran like a dream for over 700 miles and returned just over 29mpg. We both consider it our most enjoyable motorhome holiday ever. As soon as we returned home, we started to plan our next adventure - with Mellings Motorhomes of course. Thank you all, and with a bit of luck, we'll see you all next year.

We used Melling Motorhomes for the first time recently and received a very high level of service from John and Kelly. The handover and instructions from Kelly was detailed and thorough and made our use of the vehicle easy and simple. We will be using Melling Motorhomes again in the future and would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for motorhome hire.

Just back from a fabulous 10-day tour around northwest Scotland. John, Kelly and Clare were a joy to deal with from start to finish, offering lots of useful advice with the initial booking, a great handover, and helpful support while we were on the road. You won't find a more friendly, helpful or knowledgeable bunch. The motorhome was spotless, extremely comfortable and great to drive. We had the best time and can't wait to book again!

Perfect from enquiry to return. John, Kelly and Claire were cheerful, obliging and thorough with all aspects. We did six nights at Burghley Horse Trials without electric hook up and without issue. We would recommend and if in need will use again.
