Great Customer Service

Nancy was really knowledgeable & helpful. She showed various alternatives which helped to make the decision easier. The store had a great selection of furniture. There was an early delivery date which was also great.

Great sofabed but required assembly.

I'm very pleased with the quality of my sofabed. The delivery was on time and the delivery men were helpful, efficient and polite.
I was not very impressed with having to put the bed assembly into the sofa frame - it was quite difficult and we could have been injured. I think it should come assembled, with less packaging.

Good afternoon customer,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re delighted to hear that you’re very pleased with the quality of your sofabed and that the delivery team provided a helpful, efficient and polite service.

Please be assured that your feedback has been raised with our Logistics Team for review, as we are always looking at ways to improve both our products and the customer experience.

Thank you again for your valuable feedback and for bringing this to our attention.

Best wishes,

Excellent customer service from Harsha…

Excellent customer service from Harsha who was so patient and helpful in helping us arrive at a decision when we realised our furniture wasn’t quite right. She was flexible, suggested options and then efficiently organised a return/re-order. So grateful.

I am very pleased with my purchase

I am very pleased with my purchase , however the young man who placed my order in my local store did not make it clear that the delivery people would only deliver to the front door, I live in a first floor apartment, am 82 years old and live alone, so as you can imagine I was very concerned

Great delivery team

Our delivery team, Craig and Kelly were bright, friendly and efficient. They arrived on time with a warm greeting to me (and my granddaughter). Kelly sized up the position to place the bookcase while Craig removed all the packaging for us. Together they placed the furniture exactly where we wanted it. Finally they demonstrated how I should tailor the shelves and left with a wave. Good ambassadors for Cotswold.

Great instore experience

Really pleasant shop to wander around in. Furniture set out in ways that show how it would look in an appropriate space. Really good range of beautiful furniture. Staff were very good explaining the ranges of colours and styles. Service felt personal, and tailored to our needs. Expensive but worth it.

Great furniture, shop staff and delivery teams.

We have purchased a number of items of furniture over the last few months due to a house move and I warmly recommend The Cotswold Company.
We have had a few different delivery teams who have all been really nice. Very chatty and friendly and I have felt comfortable having them in the house with myself and my children.
The most recent delivery was some furniture for my son’s bedroom. Joey and Ant were our delivery guys this time and they were great with my children. My son especially was interested in what they were doing and how his desk was being put together. I have emailed the company directly to commend these staff members as I do think it’s important to appreciate and acknowledge when staff do a good job.
Our local branch is Harpenden and the staff there have always been very helpful and welcoming. Having the local branch has definitely meant we’ve purchased more from the company so I hope they stay open.
All the furniture feels very well made and study. We’re very happy with it all! (I have put the date as today as there have been a few also I hope I wrote the reference number correctly).

Order Number 6589978

Order Number 6589978. Craig and Dean arrived promptly and did an excellent job of unpacking and assembling the dining table. We were shown how to extend the table. They also brought a bureau and placed it where we wanted it. They took all the packaging away and which was very helpful. We would highly recommend The Cotswolds Company. The furniture is of great quality, and the staff at the Harpenden brunch were very helpful.

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,

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.
