We have used the Hive for over the past 4 years, to store our motorhome. The site is located well and the security is 100%. We never had any problems whatsoever. The staff are really friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble for them. Emails answered on the same day. I would highly recommend The Hive for peace of mind to keep your vehicles or belongings safe

Reviews
Very professional from start to finish. Units were nice and clean and our possessions felt very safe and secure. Run by a great team and always a nice welcome from Ruby 😀 We would highly recommend
Over the last few months I have rented three containers and made use of their Luton van twice too. All the ladies working there are very pleasant and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The containers were all clean and dry - it was very useful being able to come and go as we pleased between 6am and 10pm. I cannot fault the company at all and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. I would definitely use them again if I needed storage but I’m hoping I never move again!!!
Used this company during a house-move back in 2012 Very Good then. Returned in 2024 (another house move!) and the system is even better. Dry totally secure lock-ups and first class site security, pleasant staff on duty day-times. A really up-market facility, David Dawson - Clarborough
