I have given the repair department 1* the reason being trying to get them to do any repairs is a waste of time,we bought a secondhand van from them and part exchanged our old van.The first time out we had 16 things go wrong 13 of these were ticked as checked on the service sheet,but we ended up with a flooded caravan,no lights,no battery and the fridge door falling off plus other problems.When we returned home they arranged for it to be repaired 12 days later it still hadn't been done,so...

Recently my husband and I purchased a new Quest Blenheim awning from Glossop Caravans, we were very pleased with the service and all staff were pleasant, helpful, professional and knowledgable. We were surprised to be told we could try out the awning with our caravan to check it fitted okay, and if it didn't we could exchange it for another size - we tried it out on a dry day the following weekend and it fitted perfectly. The awning is excellent quality and the price we paid was value for... (read more)

I have been using Glossop now for my last 3 caravans, and never had any reason to look anywhere else. They have always been friendly, and listened to my needs, and with the wide choice of caravans they have, I have never had any trouble finding the caravan I want. (I started with an old 2 berth, I now have bought a brand spanking new 5 berth Elddis) I always feel welcome there, and they always remember me, even on first name terms with them all! Can’t wait to pick up my new caravan in... (read more)

Purchased a lovely second hand Bailey Ranger from them a few weeks ago. Being new to caravans we were a little wary of buying from a private seller, so we decided to purchase from our local dealer. We explained to the sales person that we were new and he spent his time showing us around the caravans that he thought we would find suitable. We felt like we were taking up his time but he assured us this was not the case, and it seemed he couldn’t do enough for us! As soon as we found the... (read more)

We purchased our brand new 2013 Elddis Chatsworth at the NEC show in october and took delivery of our new van in January 2013. A stunning Dealer Special from Glossop Caravans. Firstly I must say that the level of professionalism from Sales to Despatch has been first class and they have all talked us through every step without any fuss or hitches. Because we are "seasoned" caravanners, upon choosing our van i did my homework on the "Dealer Extras" that come with the van. Upon collecting the... (read more)

After looking for the right caravan for months me and my husband decided to take a trip to Glossop caravans. We found that the staff are very helpful and paid attention to what we wanted. We found a lovely 2 berth that we purchased. When we arranged to pick it up the staff had the caravan all ready and for us to set off. We would definitely go back again and recommend it to anyone.

Bought a caravan from Glossop yesterday, the price and deal we got was fantastic. The staff attention was great, with our salesman being courteous, polite and explaining the whole process to us. The only reason I have deducted a star from the review is that we decided to pick the caravan up on a Sunday, which was a bad move. There are no service staff in, and once the money was taken, we were kind of left on our own to get on with it, no demonstration of the caravan systems took place at... (read more)

I'm going to write this review in two parts. Firstly I'd like to say that one or two of the complaints I feel are unjustified. These complaints are regarding the cancelling of orders after the customer has committed to buy. This is not ebay and buying a caravan is a commitment so be sure youve made the right choice before you commit. For the second part I'm going to tell you of my experience with Glossop Caravans. Last year, I unwisely bought a caravan off ebay, it was advertised as 'Damp... (read more)

We bought a caravan (swift) 2006 model on saturday 21st August from glossop caravans and can i just say the service from beggining to end was fantastic. The sales man Shaun was very helpfull and not at all pushy. We wanted the caravan asap and they bent over backwards to have it ready for us. I can safely say the whole thing was a pleasure. It is probably the best run company i have ever dealt with. The dispatch team are just as good as the sales team. I would recommend glossop caravans to... (read more)

I bought my first used motorhome from Glossop Caravans three years ago. The salesman was John Phythian and he spent lots of time with us, finding out how we intended to use the van, not just trying to sell us any old thing. The despatch was done by Andreas, who was very helpful, knowing that it was all new to us. We had a couple of minor niggles which the service centre dealt with quickly. We went back last week just to have a look round and met John again. He remembered us and even the... (read more)

To be perfectly honest, comments o this site troubled me prior to deciding to buy our new Coachman from Glossop Caravans. Thank goodness, the experience of others on this site was NOT our experience last weekend.
We placed a refundable deposit on the 'van before setting off on the 160+ mile journey, and when we got there, all the staff that we came into contact with were polite and welcoming. Once we'd decided to buy the van, arrangements were made for us to bring along our existing...

If you want rock bottom prices dont go to Glossop Caravans. We went because we are new to caravanning and wanted a warranty and everything explaining. There have been some issues but we have been informed promptly and they have done all they can to rectify them. We bought an old van so we shall see on the damp front! (read more)

As we were travelling with our caravan through the UK our stabiliser broke one of its patches. Although it must have been very busy they managed to repair it the next day so we could travel on. Even better, they didn't charge anything for the work, just the patches. So if I would have to buy a caravan in the UK I surely recommend this firm. (read more)

We bought our Bailey caravan from Glossop Caravans after they were recommended by someone we got chatting to on a holiday.
The site is brilliant as they have a shop where you can buy all your caravan accessories, which means when your caravan arrives home it's ready to be used straight away.

Update: Still trying to get Glossop Caravans to sort out an issue from November - they seem to be unwilling to do anything about it. I would certainly advise taking your money elsewhere, as once they've got it, all service goes out of the window...
