Our furniture order was handled by friendly staff. Delivery date was within 10 days which is not something other companies can do so very impressed.

Sarupa at the showroom was a star. She’s always helpful, and friendly; very welcoming. The items on show were also sufficient to help us decide the furniture perfect for our space.

Disappointed in quality

We had so many problems with our two sofas. The delivery guy damaged a leg installing and ‘mended it’ with a screw so it was at an odd angle. They had to send a third party engineer out to fix it. While waiting for him to come the three seater seat cushions collapsed and hung over the seat base and were very uncomfortable. Th engineer recommended they made new ones which arrived after many weeks. The colour didn’t match the back or the other sofa. In the end we put the old covers on the new cushions.despite Cotswold giving us a refund I wish we had just returned the sofas and bought elsewhere. They remain very uncomfortable and look shabby, not like new sofas should. Very disappointed but can’t afford to buy new ones so will have to put up with them. Certainly wouldn’t buy from them again.

Good morning Maisie Peett,

We’re really sorry to read about your experience and can completely understand your disappointment.

Having reviewed your order, we can see your sofas were purchased in June 2025 and delivered in August 2025. We also note that our Customer Care Team supported you through the issues raised, including arranging for a third-party engineer visit and providing a refund in January 2026 following the concerns with the cushions.

That said, we’re sorry that despite these steps, the sofas have not met your expectations in terms of comfort and appearance. This is certainly not the experience we aim to provide, and we regret the ongoing frustration this has caused you.

We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear that you feel unable to shop with us again.

Best wishes,

Jessica Sculfor

Positive and friendly experience throughout

Had a very helpful experience in the Harpenden shop when looking for the perfect chair for our living room.

Our chair arrived today and the delivery team were great, very efficient and friendly. Overall, a very positive experience. Very pleased.

Great store and friendly staff

The lady advising us, Harsha, made us feel welcome, she was really enthusiastic and gave us great advice. She then was helpful with the ordering and made the whole shopping experience enjoyable. The store itself is wonderfully designed with lots of ideas for how to arrange things and showing a wide range of goods. Parking in Harpenden is the only small fly in the ointment but the Waitrose car park is nearby if usually full. The Cotswold delivery service was excellent, on time and efficient.

Absolutely love our new Winchcombe bedroom furniture. We fell in love with it in the shop in Harpenden, it was so nice to be able to see it and have help ordering. The ladies in the shop were extremely knowledgeable and helpful and the guys who delivered were brilliant - so polite, courteous and thorough.

Fabulous experience from start to finish.

We’ve now got our eye on some living room furniture!

Well Done Cotswold Company

From all the staff in the Harpenden store to delivery team (Garvin and his team) and customer service (Kayne) we have received an exemplary service. I cannot praise them enough for going above and beyond to ensure we were happy with all the processes. We are thrilled with our purchases which have received lots of admiring comments from friends and family.

Great customer service but poor quality.

Order number 6167822

Great support in customer services and the showroom. Unfortunately my two seater Talbot came with seat cushions which didn't fit. Also, the front of the seat pad was not holding its shape and sloped down. I felt I was slipping off! There was a large gap between the two seat cushions and one was stitched incorrectly. They sent out a firm who agreed with my issue. I was sent two new cushion covers but only one seat cushion/inner pad which was so large and much higher than the original seat pads it didn't fit.

I've asked for a refund and the sofa has been collected. Customer services have contacted me and I'm about to receive the refund hopefully today.

I can't praise the staff enough, excellent and professional throughout. Such a shame the quality falls far short of expectations.

Good morning lrain 2010,

Thank you for taking the time to update your review. We’re so pleased to hear that our Harpenden Showroom and customer service team were able to support you throughout the process and that you found our staff professional and helpful.

We’re very sorry that your Talbot sofa did not live up to expectations and that there were problems with the seat cushions. We completely understand how disappointing this must have been.

I can see that the Harpenden Showroom has arranged for your refund to be returned to the card used at the point of purchase, and we hope this reaches you without issue.

We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve both our products and the service we provide.

Appreciate the ability to look instore

We came instore to get some ideas, having already looked online and seen some things we loved the look of.
Whilst instore we spoke to Nancy who answered my many questions very patiently. She understood what we were looking for and made suggestions which we hadn’t thought of.
Once we were ready to make a purchase Nancy explained the delivery process and all the other information very clearly.
We felt like valued customers and are so pleased with our order.
Nancy is a real credit to the store.
