Welcome to Freya – our stylish 1970s Ambassador Airstream.
Freya’s name comes from Norse mythology, where Freya was a warrior queen of the Valkyries. A fitting name for an Airstream who has travelled across 4 states and weathered 3 months at sea to make it to the UK!
Freya has been renovated to a luxurious, modern standard while still maintaining the retro charm of an Airstream. She features a large fully-equipped kitchen with an oven, grill, hob and a full-size fridge. Freya contains a TV and sound system for your entertainment, alongside a double sofa bed in the living room. The bedroom is separated by floor-to-ceiling curtains and contains a comfy double bed with ample storage space. Freya also has a special feature in the bathroom, a private shower AND a bath, taking glamping to another level!
At 28 feet, Freya has plenty of space for families whilst also being intimate enough for a romantic couple’s getaway in the tranquil Isle of Wight countryside.
