VW campervans in the Scottish Borders

Who can resist an old-fashioned family holiday in a VW campervan? Classic Camper Holidays, near Selkirk in the Scottish Borders, have three gorgeous vans for hire - Heidi, Daisy and Bluebell.

Bluebell and Heidi are restored 1970s vans, while Daisy is a new Danbury T2 (I don't know what that means either, but she looks lovely). All are beautifully fitted and kitted with cooker, fridge, fold-out chairs, kitchen gear and a petrol-fired heater (handy for chilly mornings - let's not kid ourselves, Scotland isn't famed for its heatwaves). Heidi and Daisy sleep a family of four, while Bluebell has a bunk for a mini tot and room for a travel cot.

For an extra cost, you can treat yourself to a solar-powered shower, camping loo, bike rack or travel games. 

From £210 (three-day hire); www.classic-camper-holidays.co.uk
