A delightful shop with the most wonderful staff; not only Julie who runs the place but also the other ladies who help out. We have bought a number of items from there but of particular note are the Roman blinds that she had made for our house. If you want quality furnishings that will last a lifetime SHOP HERE first, you will not be disappointed. The service (from whomever is in the shop) also helps to make Bear Cottage a lovely experience?.. see you again soon!

Have visited twice and on both occasions found the service lacking. To rejuvenate local high streets against online shopping, visiting stores need to provide a friendly and helpful buying experience, sadly we did not find any of this. On the 1st visit a few months ago we thought we would let it slide but having gone to the effort to visit again recently when looking for fabric to recover a chair, we were rather tersely told photos were not allowed. There was no offer of how they could help us compare the fabric to the chair at home, such as to allow us to take a sample book, or inquiry on what the project was we were considering, just a further terse response on comparing prices online. Frankly if this is the level of service I'm not surprised that people are going online.

We met Julie via a mutual friend. The bespoke services she offers are second to none. Julie has an absolute knack for understanding what clients need and and what works best in their home. We had 6 blinds of the best quality and an amazing, enormous window seat which we love. We have had fabulous comments from visitors and we can't thank Julie and all those involved with Bear Cottage Interiors enough. We look forward to working with Julie when choosing our next set of blinds. ??

Bear Cottage is a treasure-trove of beautiful gifts and home ware - just what I need for presents that you won't see everywhere else. Julie is so friendly and full of advice and assistance if you need it. She also offers a personalised interior design service - my blinds were gorgeous.
