I visited Croftmill with a friend this week and had such an excellent experience. We were welcomed by everyone with open arms even though we were an hour late for our appointment! Nothing was too much... See more

Would recommend

I needed samples , advice and to change my order. It was no problem as I just phoned the company and spoke to a really helpful real person.

Terrible communication post-order - item not sent

Disappointing experience. Ordered a set of samples and one wasn't sent as they were running low on the fabric. They didn't let me know about this nor refund the cost for the sample that wasn't sent. I believe I should have been informed if something wasn't in stock so that I could decide whether or not to go ahead with the order. I had ordered specifically to compare two types of corduroy, and ended up paying for a set of samples without being able to do this.

Wonderful high quality fabric

I have just received a parcel of fabric from Croft Mill. It is a beautiful high quality fabric in triple crepe, and I have chosen the rich royal blue. I am so delighted with it, and at such a reasonable price.

Also, thank you so much for the helpful sample. Fantastic. My thanks and very best wishes.

Avoid at all costs

Avoid an in person visit unless you want to feel unwelcome and a burden!!!!! Z
My mother and I were looking forward to our visit to Croft Mill making a journey from Scotland for the visit. Booked an appointment to visit as per the website instructions. We were 15 minutes early for our appointment and was welcomed in by a lovely young girl who explained the warehouse and process.
5 minutes into the visit we were rudely told by who I believe was one of the owners (Middle Ages lady who appears on the majority of their instagram videos) telling us we needed to leave because she had a meeting - of the appointment time was not suitable this should have been acknowledged at the time of the phone call?! When we confronted the lady to say we did make an appointment her attitude did change slightly however after such a horrible exchange earlier we were totally put off. We were made to feel like we were a problem.
I had a large list of fabrics and cash with me and they have lost out due to the rudeness of the owner - even the assistant who was helping us looked extremely awkward!
We went straight to Empress Mills along the road and received a lovely welcome and spent our money there!

I’m very sorry that your visit didn’t go as expected. We do remember the day, and it was a genuine case of poor timing and miscommunication on our part. You had every right to expect a warm welcome, and I’m sorry that we didn’t make that clear at the time.

We’re not a traditional retail shop — we’re a working warehouse with a small office space — so we manage visits by appointment to balance customers and supplier meetings. On this occasion, a supplier meeting was taking place in one particular area that wasn’t suitable for visitors at that moment, but the rest of the warehouse was available. I’d mentioned to our team member that the fabrics could be brought through instead, but unfortunately, it just wasn’t managed smoothly on the day.

I completely understand how my response may have come across as abrupt; that wasn’t my intention, and I did try to explain the situation afterwards. I’m genuinely sorry for the impression it left.

We take pride in being friendly and approachable, and we’ll use this experience to improve how we handle visits in future.

With best wishes,
Caroline

fabric is out of stock

Ordered with courier service before cut off time as really needed fabric at short notice, called 3 times to confirm, no answer. Recieve a call later to say actually we haven't sent your fabric, the couriers been and gone, and a fabric is out of stock. I'd read some reviews inbetween so was little surprise.

The fabric I bought from here was poor…

The fabric I bought from here was poor quality. I had a dress made and it ripped on about the fourth wear. Looking at the fabric it is clear that it has not caught and is just too weak to make a dress from. I asked Croft Mill for assistance and after chasing and a discussion they have sent 1m of fabric to repair the dress.

Terrible

Terrible. Ordered 2 metres of winceyette fabric, but only received 1. Won't be using this site again.

Absolutely terrible service

Absolutely terrible service. I ordered fabric and paid for 24hr delivery. 7 days later my order arrived. I chased the order 2 days later, I was told it was on the cutting table that day, so I would receive the next day. I chased again on day 5 and had no reply. So I paid £6.95 delivery, no apology and no refund. Safe to say I won't use or recommend.

Thank you for your feedback, and I want to start by saying how truly sorry we are that your experience with us was so disappointing.

Although we were in contact during the process, apologised for delays, and issued a refund for your delivery charge, we fully understand that this doesn’t make up for the frustration and inconvenience caused. You placed your trust in us by choosing a 24-hour delivery service, and we’re sorry that we let you down.

To clarify, we do state at checkout that our Tracked 24 delivery service applies from the point of dispatch, not the time of ordering. That said, we completely appreciate that your order took far too long to reach you — and that is not the level of service we ever want our customers to experience.

We are reviewing what went wrong in this instance to help ensure it doesn’t happen again. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’re genuinely sorry that your experience was not what we aim to provide.

On line order

Ordered fabric on line after having received a sample and which is the first time I’ve used Croft Mill. The quality of the fabric is excellent. There was a slight issue with the length of fabric ordered and what was delivered. However. The company responded to my query and resolved the issue satisfactorily within a few days of my query.
I’ve already recommended the company and I will order again.

Poor online service

Disappointed that I’ve so far waited 10 days for fabric to arrive via Royal Mail 2nd class. While Croft Mill can’t be held liable for appalling postal services … they could do what other retailers do and select a reliable courier . In these competitive times they might also consider free postage above a certain amount. No real incentive to re-order from this company based on my experience so far .

Hi Sue,
Thank you for your recent feedback. We are currently in the process of trialling some alternative delivery companies. Hopefully, the next time you order with us we may have a more efficient service available for a competitive price. It is important to note we do have to weigh up the pros and cons of each delivery company so all factors will be considered and we may continue to use our existing courier which is Royal Mail. We do have the option for 1st class online which is a faster service ( although this is a little more costly). At the moment due to increasing courier fee's we cannot offer free postage, however we do other promotional discounts and free gifts regularly :) If you sign up to our newsletter online this will keep you up to date on our next promotion.

Kind Regards
The Croft Mill Team

Brilliant service and fabric everytime

Started shopping with Croft Mill after a friend recommended them in our sewing group. Made about 5 orders so far and I receive quality fabrics everytime! The ladies who answer the phone are always very friendly. Can't ask for more.
