Tour Ireland in Style

A Derby firm has supplied a fleet of thirty Motorhomes to an Irish Leisure company. Don Amott Leisure, the UK importer and main dealer for Italian motorhome manufacture, McLouis, has supplied the fleet of vehicles to Celtic Campervans of Limerick.

The Irish company has been renting motorhomes for over 30 years and offers customers the opportunity to tour Ireland in style. Celtic Campervans will collect customers from Dublin airport and then deliver a comprehensive demonstration of all the facilities available in their motorhome. Depending on the length of their holiday or short-break they will also discuss suggested routes to ensure that visitors get the most out of their Irish holiday experience.

Stephen Bradshaw, general manager of family firm, Celtic Campervans, explained: “We have customers from all over the world including Australia, the USA and the rest of Europe.

“The Australians in particular know that this is the best way to get around. Basically, a motorhome is a hotel on wheels with everything you need for a fraction of the price.” S

Speaking about his choice of vehicle for the new fleet, Stephen added: “We chose McLouis models because of the quality of the exterior and interior finish and the manufacturers willingness to adapt the vehicles to our needs.

“Our company has had a long association with Don Amott Leisure and its managing director Tony Weavers, who dealt with everything at the Italian end with absolute precision.”

The McLouis Tandy 636G SE was voted ‘Family Motorhome of the Year’ by Which Motorhome magazine earlier this year.

Celtic Campervans rental costs start at 90 Euros (approximately £72) for the minimum 4-days hire period. More information is available from www.celticcampervans.com.
