THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE!
I have to commend Robert who works at this company for his EXCELLENT customer service, brilliant sales mind and his patience. I had been in store, looked round decided I didn’t like anything and was literally walking out done when Robert stopped me. He asked me some questions I told him I had a couple of pieces of bedroom furniture at home but couldn’t find anything matching, that I’d look online at a later date… wait for sales see what I could do from home. I thanked him and was going to go. He didn’t just let me leave, he told me to hold on, stood with me and researched furniture on the computer, matched my current items gave me other options when the sizes wouldn’t work and got me exactly what I needed. I’m telling you now The Cotswold Company would not have got that sale if it wasn’t for him. This man needs a promotion! Thank you Robert, I’m truly appreciative and look forward to receiving the two chests of drawers that I bought.

I was excited to go to the Cotswold…
I was excited to go to the Cotswold company outlet and was very disappointed. Yes the items are discounted but that’s because they are missing great big chunks out of them? Surely no one is going to buy this furniture for hundreds or even thousands in some cases with such huge imperfections? There was a wardrobe for well over £1000 which 3 big chunks out of it and missing paint

Good morning Ellie,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.
Our Outlet stores are specifically dedicated to selling items that may have cosmetic imperfections, such as dents, scratches, or slight marks, at a reduced price. This is the intended nature of our Outlet range, and many customers visit these locations knowing they can find great value on items that aren’t in perfect condition.
If you’re looking for pristine, brand-new items, we invite you to visit our showroom or browse our full product range on our website, where you’ll find our latest collections in perfect condition.
We appreciate your comments and hope this helps clarify the purpose of our Outlet stores.
Best wishes,
