In their own words: “We opened our first shop, in Bourton-on-the-Water, in the heart of the Cotswolds over 25 years ago. As we grew, we needed somewhere bigger to call home, so now you’ll find us just down the road, in Stow-on-the-Wold. This very special patch of rural England will always inspire the furniture and accessories we design and make, as well as the idea of home that we hold dear.”

How long you have to return: “Change of Mind or Unsuitability: If you've changed your mind or find the product unsuitable, you can still return or exchange it within 30 days of delivery.”

Do returns cost anything: “Alternatively you can return any Homeware items to your nearest store free of charge for a full refund.”

Faulty or damaged items: “Damaged or Faulty Items: If your item is damaged or faulty upon receipt, we'll gladly facilitate its return, exchange, or replacement at no cost to you.”

Delivery cost: “If your order contains a mix of made-to-order upholstery, bespoke bed(s) and other items, we will allow you to choose your delivery options as above for the other items with a separate delivery charge.”
