Saymor Furnishers Scrappage Scheme

From: Saymor Furnishers - Cotswolds Furnishing Store Valid until: 30/04/2015

According to new research a mattress needs to be replaced every 7 years. It has also been found that people sleep much better on a new bed with less tossing and turning. On average we lose around 285ml of fluid each night and shed 454 grams of dead skin each year. Changing your mattress reduces the continual build up of dust mites that cause allergies such as asthma. Back problems can often be attributed to mattresses that are in need of replacing. At Saymor for a limited period we are offering 10% off any mattress or bed over £100 PLUS your old furniture taken away for free PLUS free local delivery

Egypt Mill Hotel and Restaurant in The Cotswolds

Egypt Mill Hotel and Restaurant in Nailsworth, near Stroud is a real gem of a Hotel & Restaurant that has to be seen to be fully appreciated. The perfect base from which to explore the Cotswolds. Hotel, Conference Centre and Wedding Venue with the most fantastic interior - including a working water wheel!


Having known Egypt Mills since my childhood, it is such a joy to come back and see how it has changed so much. What a STUNNING VENUE with not only history and nostalgia but with an added twist of a contemporary feel within the bar, restaurant, event facilities and all 32 bedrooms. I can not recommend Egypt Mills more highly. Family friendly and staff that always welcome you with a smile & excellent service.

Green Man Stoves - A Cotswold Company

Green Man Stoves, for expert advice and inspiration on anything to do with stoves and woodburners - the ideal way to heat your Cotswold home! Green Man Stoves - contact them for advice and inspiration regarding your new stove or woodburner! "Green Business of the Year" 2010!


When we bought our 1960's house last October, one thing of which we were certain was that we wanted a real fire installed. We had both always lived in older properties and had become accustomed to this welcoming and warming feature in our homes. This was our first experience of a 60's property and the chimney looked too small, there was an old backboiler and the hearth was non-existent, having for some years only housed an electric log effect fire. We visited Green Man Stoves at their showroom one wet and freezing afternoon. What a treat! We were greeted by so many beautiful fires, many of them were roaring away in a true life demonstration that we had never before seen in a shop. We left there armed with ideas, brochures, an appointment for a home visit and best of all, warm hands and feet! James visited us at home later that week. He measured, assessed, discussed, advised and most importantly of all, listened. He took the time to identify our individual requirements, qualify our criteria and respond to our many questions. We are delighted with our fire. Every member of the team was courteous, friendly, approachable and particularly tolerant of our 'Sergeant-Major next door neighbour' who seems intent on upsetting all of our visitors! Having first hand experience of a customer facing business, it is our personal view that it is easy to provide a good service when all is rosy in the garden. James and Nicola were in the midst of a particularly trying time when we first asked for their help. Their son had damaged his arms, their daughter had damaged her foot, they had no kitchen (nor any sign of the arrival of the new one) and a brand new puppy..... However, they didn't let this impact on providing an excellent customer service, a friendly yet professional approach and the efficient and skilled installation of a stunning woodburner. We would highly recommend Green Man Stoves and would like to take this opportunity to say..... Thankyou very much!
