Very professional handover.

Called to pick up our new caravan and was greeted by Paul who walked us through every aspect of the caravans controls and set up. Very thorough and questioned if we were happy at every stage of the process, not a problem to go back through anything that we were unsure about. Very professional and made the handover a very pleasant experience.

Excellent experience

Nothing but great words to say for the staff at kimberleys. Ended up with our dream motorhome and it was all sorted while I was away at work. Scott went out of the way to get everything ready for me coming home. When I went for the van, Paul gave a great handover and showed excellent knowledge of motorhomes and gave loads of handy tips and tricks. Really good laugh aswell which always helps.

The van has been really well looked after and had expensive wheels put on for the handover. Full service, MOT, habitat check and down plating all done before I got back from work. No expenses spared when preparing the van for collection.

I would highly recommend going to kimberleys for anything caravan and motorhome related.

Big thanks to Scott and Paul. All the best

New Chapter made easier from Kimberley Caravan & Motorhome people.

Paul from Kimberley caravans handed over our new M.H. We were brand new to this lifestyle & Paul gave an absolute great rundown of everything we needed to know. He repeated things & let us video everything. He even showed how the auto driving worked. Really excellent & friendly approach.
Our dealings from the whole team start to finish has been 100° excellent. Tom who sold us the M.H was a brilliant source of advice & info.Then the sales team in the shop were excellent for advice when we were purchasing things from the T.V to levelling ramps & Paul who made the Handover experience less mind blowing to "WOW we think we can do this".
Well done to the whole team at Kimberley Caravan & Motorhome people. 🙏🤝

Thank you Mark, what a lovely review! Going from "mind blowing" to "we can do this" is exactly what a good handover should do, so we're really glad Paul, Tom and the shop team all made it feel so easy. Welcome to the lifestyle, hope you have many brilliant adventures ahead!

Many Thanks,

Great communication from the service team, they evaluated a warranty claim we had and arranged the remedial work with delay. The staff were very helpful and managed to carry out the work quickly, especially given the time of year when everyone wants their caraven for the summer.

Not proactive enough

Not proactive enough imo in addressing outstanding issues. I have to chase Kimberley every time to find out what's happening regarding defects reported months ago that are still ongoing.

We purchased our caravan from Nik Coleman (Salesman). The whole experience was very low pressure and we were given plenty time alone to decide as to what we wanted to do. Nik was very helpful and informative during the whole process. All in all it was a great experience purchasing our caravan from Kimberley Caravans.

Can I give no stars?!

Can I give no stars?!

I have never experienced such terrible treatment at the hands of so called sales manager and a salesman than I did at Kimberley Motorhome in Darlington.

The way they worked together to try keep my deposit once I had cancelled the order, is beyond disgusting and devious. I received an email stating that they didn’t think that they could give me my £1000 deposit for a false condition they tried to claim.

I experienced such a stressful time waiting and phoning continuously to demand my deposit. I have been paid my deposit back.

I will never venture into Kimberley Motorhome and Caravan in Darlington again.

Beware... Your trade in will be damp.

Beware..We thought we had found our ideal caravan at Kimberly Darlington. Agreed a price for our trade in and paid a £1000.00 deposit on the Sunday, transfering the remaining balance on the Monday morning.
We were given a handover date for some 3 weeks later.
Come the handover day, we eere kept waiting for over 2 hours whilst they " ran their checks" on our trade in' we were kept a further half an hour while they made up their minds who was going to demonstrate our new caravan. Finally got to sit down to sign the forms when the landed their bombshell telling us our trade in had severe damp in the front which was rotten. They then produced a quote for £2000.00 to rectify this before they could sell on expecting me to accept a lower price for my trade in.
They seemed a little shocked when I refused to pay any more than the agreed price. There was no negotiation, no movement at all so I terminated the sale immediately and took my old caravan back.
I consequently had two independent damp checks carried out and no damp or rot was found by either tradesmen.
I have since sold the caravan privately and received £1000.00 more than they offered me in the first instance.
This is a tactic I have heard being used by lesser traders and expected more from Kimberly.
They lost out on a £21000.00 sale.

Came up to Darlington site on a Tuesday for warranty inspection expected to take few hours, 2 hour drive each way.
Time line O.K only to find cafe no longer exists. Pub next door closed on Tuesdays & waiting area mainly useless, 4 seats.
Site is very remote so just had to hang around best could.
