This worked as it should do

This worked as it should do.
No hard sell and efficient and knowledgable sale.
Handover very thorough.. the only real problem was that they could not provide a number plate as I do not carry the V5 registration for my car... but that is silly regulations.
Complication that my battery had a screw fitting, not a post but one of their engineers sorted that.
Overall, gave me great confidence and I would go back and recommend.. whereas I would not touch South Cave with a bargepole ever again.

Worst customer service ever.

Having messed up my first booking, and requiring 3 days to fulfill the second one, the job was not fully completed (despite being paid in full) due to “items left in the vehicle”. Since no one had bothered to tell me that all items needed to be removed, I wasn’t aware that this was the case.
I wrote to head office asking for an explanation of this logic, and have been completely ignored. Worst customer service I have ever encountered.

UPDATE: still waiting for the promised contact mentioned below….. as I said - worst customer service ever! 😡

Thanking all the staff at Kimberley

Everything that was explained at the handover, and there was the reassurance that if any help was needed then it was just a phone call away. Benson and Richard were very professional in the process. We left Kimberley in the knowledge that we were well looked after.

We attended the Oct 2025 NEC show in Birmingham, whilst there we ordered our Swift Elegance 850. Richard Dinsdale was fantastic in getting the order sorted, Kimberley kept us up-date on delivery times and Richard was always to hand answering any questions. When collecting Benson was very in-depth with all controls and made the experience fun. Well-done Kimberley.... following this my daughter and family friends also purchased their Swifts, Again they were really pleased with the service!!!! :-)

Great selection of new and used caravans

Great selection of new and used caravans on site. The staff are very friendly and professional. Tom was great on the sales side of things, and Paul was marvellous at handing over, and explaining all of the workings of the caravan. Can’t praise them both enough. I would definitely recommend Kimberly caravans to anyone who is looking to purchase a caravan. Great team.
