The Cotswold Company

Compared to the other site I usually use, this felt pricier for what turned up. The colour was a bit duller than the picture and the fabric is thinner than I expected. Delivery was fine but the return took a while to sort out because the form kept timing out.

I bought the reed diffuser in the cedar scent as a first purchase here. It arrived well packed with the bottle wrapped in tissue. The smell is subtle rather than overpowering, which I prefer. Delivery was quick and the order confirmation came straight away.

I compared this with a couple of other retailers before choosing the linen tablecloth, and this one was noticeably cheaper for the same weight of cloth. The colour is lovely and it ironed up well. The only thing I'd mention is that my order sat in processing for a few days before it shipped.

Got the knit throw in grey for my flat and it's honestly so soft. Arrived in two days which was quick. Colour is the same as the pics, no complaints at all. Might get the cushion covers next.

Ordered on Sunday night and it turned up Wednesday morning, which I did not expect at all. Bit of a faff getting the confirmation email to come through but the item itself is lovely and well wrapped. Would order again.

Verdict is it's a fair buy for everyday use. The construction is OK but the stitching on one seam was a bit loose out of the box. Delivery was fine and it arrived within the week.

Really easy to order from, got my bits in about three days which was quicker than I expected. Stuff was exactly as shown on the site, only thing is the delivery slot picker was a bit fiddly on my phone but got there in the end.

Way quicker than the other site I used last month, checkout took about a minute and the sizing chart actually matched what turned up. Ordered on the bus so the app was a lifesaver. Would do it again.

This is the one to get if you want proper hardwearing outdoor gear without paying London prices. I've been buying waxed jackets and boots for about twenty years and the stitching and materials here are as good as anything I've had from the traditional names. Sizing runs true, the description was accurate, and the lining on the jacket is warm. Delivery was swift too. Good stuff.

I bought the oak serving board as a present for my brother, who is very particular about his kitchen. It arrived well wrapped and the grain is lovely, with a proper oil finish. The board is heavier than I expected, which is a good thing. Happy with it and he was pleased too.

My old kitchen bin finally gave up so I needed something sturdy with a soft close lid. I looked at three or four places and this one had the best range for the money. The bin fits the gap under the sink and the lid closes quietly. Everything arrived in one piece and the instructions were clear.

I was rather pleased that the cushions I ordered for the conservatory were in stock and arrived within the week, which is more than I can say for the last place I tried. The zip on one of them is a touch stiff and I had to wiggle it a bit to get it closed, but the fabric is nice and they look well against the wicker chairs. I'd order from them again, I think.

The first thing I noticed was the little handwritten note tucked into the box, which was a really nice touch for a first order. The candle smelled exactly like the photo and arrived unbroken. Checkout was easy enough.

The verdict from me is that this is a well made rug at a fair price. It arrived rolled tight and was easy to unpack with two of us. The pattern and colour match the photos and the edges are neatly finished. Happy with the purchase.

I ordered the velvet cushion covers in the deep green which I'd been eyeing for months. They're nicely made with a proper zip and the colour is rich. The only small thing is the order arrived in two boxes a day apart, which was a little confusing. Otherwise very pleased.

Compared to the big chain I usually use, this is so much cheaper for a similar jumper and the material feels nicer. Ordered it on a Sunday and it was with me by Wednesday. Fit is a bit boxy but I like that.

I've been doing my own woodwork for years and needed a replacement set of chisels after my old ones went blunt. Wanted something properly sharpened out of the box without spending a fortune. These came sharp and the handles feel solid. Packed well too.

We needed a sturdy bench for the back garden after the old one rotted through over winter. The reviews on the site put me off buying from a company I didn't know, but the bench is solid and the finish is even. Assembly took an hour with the instructions. Delivery came on the day they said.

We had guests coming and the old towels were past their best, so I needed a good set that wouldn't cost the earth. These are thick, absorb well and wash without fading so far. Good value for a full set. Arrived quickly.
