Horse box-turned-campervan with private balcony is the ultimate Scottish summer getaway
Once a horse box, Duckie is now a luxury campervan in Dunkeld with a hidden TV, waterfall shower, and private balcony.
A horse box-turned-luxury campervan is turning heads thanks to a jaw-dropping makeover that's packed with surprises. Duckie, the latest listing on Camplify UK, is a converted horse lorry based in the picturesque Perthshire town of Dunkeld.
After retiring from its initial role of transporting steeds, it has been transformed into one of the most unique and luxurious ways to travel the country, offering a glamping experience unlike any other.
Inside Duckie, you'll find a hot waterfall shower, gas hob, oven, fridge and ceiling fan, as well as a sleek seating area and LED mood lighting throughout. And just when you think it can't get any more extravagant, the van reveals its pièce de résistance: a private balcony.
It's the ideal spot for enjoying breakfast al fresco or soaking in golden-hour views after a day on the road. When night falls, a double bed fitted with a five-inch memory foam mattress promises a peaceful night's sleep.
Available to hire from £100 per night (£50 per person), Duckie sleeps two and is pet-friendly. It also includes full AA breakdown cover and insurance for added peace of mind.
With pick-up from Dunkeld, guests are perfectly positioned to explore two of Scotland's most scenic routes, the Heart 200 and the legendary North Coast 500.
According to Camplify's website, this campervan is designed to be 'a true off-grid haven', offering a slice of modern comfort amid the great outdoors.
Powered by solar energy, it lets you explore far and wide while keeping your environmental footprint small.
The listing reads: 'Step out of the ordinary and dive into an extraordinary adventure with our campervan!
"Get ready to embrace a journey where comfort meets creativity… a once-in-a-lifetime experience that's as cozy as your favourite apartment.'
The interior, finished in calming neutrals, is full of surprises. With the touch of a button, a hidden TV emerges from a sideboard, offering the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring.
'Catch up on shows, enjoy movie nights, or stay connected – it's your call,' Camplify says.
Cooking on the go is simple thanks to the well-equipped kitchen setup, and for those wanting to dine under the stars, the camper includes outdoor furniture for meals on the balcony.
