Why explore Scotland in a campervan?

Scotland really does have everything – mountains, lakes, woodland and gorgeous turquoise sea with white sandy beaches. Its seafood and whisky are arguably the best in the world and go perfectly together after a day of hiking and exploring, or even just relaxing and watching the world go by.

Renting a campervan is the perfect way to enjoy everything that Scotland has to offer. Fly into Edinburgh airport or take the train to Glasgow, pick up your camper and hit the open roads!

Where shall I go?

Scotland is famous for having legalised wild camping. Although the same laws don’t apply to campervans, the fact that it is relatively unpopulated makes finding a place off the beaten track a breeze. So long as you ensure you travel responsibly, shop local and leave every spot better than you found it, there is no reason to detract from the incredible culture and nature on offer.

Which campervan should I chose?

While browsing our beautiful camper vans, it is important to consider the location, availability and the specific requirements you have for your trip. For example, you may need to look for a family camper to make sure there are enough beds for your little ones, a dog-friendly van for trips with your furbabies, or a campervan capable of being off-grid.

How to pick up your campervan for a Scottish adventure:

  1. Drive/take the train/fly to Scotland and pick up your camper van there. Above you will find a selection of all our campers based in Scotland. Just pop in your dates and make use of the filters to see if they match your requirements. This option may save on fuel costs and time.
  2. Find a camper close to you and drive it up. This may be a good option if you want to bring lots of stuff. It may also be the cheapest option if there are a few of you travelling together.
  3. Pick up a camper on the way. If you want to expand the available options as much as possible – use the map view on our campervans page to find all the campers that are on your way. If you have very specific needs or are looking to travel on very popular dates then this will be the most likely option to find you a match.

In this interactive four-week course of workshops and talks I'll be covering my decade of experience making scary shows for theatre and giving you practical advice across all of the stages, from concept to touring. The course is just £65 for the entire four weeks. The workshops will be on Tuesdays from 6 - 27 August, 7.30pm live on Zoom. It's going to be really fun!

Tickets are on sale now - book here!

Both are on Zoom and will kick off at 7.30pm. Both events are Pay What You Decide - throw anything you wish 'into the hat!' Simply book your place...

De Vere Tortworth Court

 

Step inside a captivating world
of timeless elegance

De Vere Tortworth Court is much more than a country hotel. It's a full-on mini-break destination: with fine gardens, multiple places to drink and dine and a wide choice of luxurious bedrooms - in the elegant mansion house or the newly-refurbished courtyard. It's also serves as a de-stressing stopover destination to break up a long journey to or from the south west of England.

Book a stay at a De Vere Tortworth Court from just £119* with complimentary breakfast*. Just add the code FREEBB when you book online. If you want to add a restaurant meal to your experience, do take a look at our ever-popular Time Well Spent offer.

You are sipping a Pimm's while you choose a spa experience. You are luxuriating from dawn 'til dusk. You are absolutely not at work.

You. Are. Here.

The wonder of Windsor

Welcome to the Cotswolds

Charming villages and rolling hills

The hotel estate is on the southern edge of the Cotswolds, where there's an endless choice of fascinating places to visit. If towns and cities are your thing, historic Bath and Bristol are a short drive away.

 

 

 

Delightful dining, inside & out

De Vere Tortworth Court caters for all culinary cravings. Sophisticated dinners, drinks and afternoon teas are served in the historic 1853 Restaurant & Library Bar, while casual, family lunches and light bites are the order of the day in the impressive Atrium Bar.

When the weather's being our friend, cocktails, mocktails, snacks and more are served on the elegant terrace overlooking the lawns and a small plate dining experience is available at the buzzing Tipi in the garden.
