Very disappointing experience
Very disappointing experience. I placed an order for two wall lights in February and, by mid-July, I still had not received them. Several delivery dates were given and missed, with very little communication unless I chased for updates.
Customers should not be able to order items without clear stock availability or realistic lead times. After months of delays and uncertainty, I requested a refund.
A much better level of communication and transparency is needed.

Misleading description
I feel it should have said that the lights (Gadsby bathroom lights) were lacquered brass on the website. I had believed they were unlaquered not only because of the expensive price point but because they were described as solid brass with a polished brass finish. No mention of lacquer. It was only when asking about something else that I was told that they were laquered . I was mortified as everything else in the bathroom is beautiful unlaquered brass which behaves completely differently and will age and tarnishes gradually .
I’d already installed them ( a week or so previously). I asked if I could return them ( they are in prefect condition) but was told no . I will now have to sell them on as they cheapen the whole bathroom ( a very glitzy yellow brass) and buy new unlaquered ones. Please be specific in your description. Polished brass to me, and I think generally, implies unlaquered. You have mentioned with other products that they are laquered ..so why not this one?.. Diane Twin Wall Sconce and Limehouse Freighter Wall Light, to name just a couple.
Since writing this review I have had an email to say I should add more details or my review will be taken offline. How can you be allowed to do this!
What details would you like anyway? I have already had an email from Alicia Galer this week from your company and she can surely fill you in ! I have a right to write a review based on my experience. I bet you don’t similarly threaten those who write good reviews !
Please leave this review in place!
I actually think there should be some recourse with regards a refund as you admit in your response below that the description of the lights should have been clearer.. especially such a high priced item !

Hi Juliette,
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback.
We’re very sorry to hear that the finish of the Gadsby bathroom lights was not what you expected and that this has affected the overall look you were hoping to achieve in your bathroom. We completely understand the importance of matching brass finishes, particularly when creating a carefully considered interior scheme.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the product description and agree that clarity around finishes is extremely important, especially for premium items where customers are making design decisions based on the information provided. We have shared your comments with our web team so that the product information can be reviewed and improved where needed.
We’re sorry that we were unable to accept the return once the lights had been installed, but we do appreciate you taking the time to highlight where we could have provided clearer information.
Thank you again for your feedback, and if you need any further assistance, please contact us at customerservice@hollowaysofludlow.com.

A Month Waiting, Then Chaos After Cancelling
Unfortunately, I had a very disappointing experience with Holloways of Ludlow.
I ordered a pendant light on 6th June, and by 8th July it still hadn’t arrived. During this time I called for updates and was given different explanations, ranging from the item being bespoke and still in production, to there being delays with delivery. After waiting over a month with no clear resolution, I decided to cancel the order.
The following day, despite cancelling, I received a tracking notification from their delivery partner APC advising that the item was on its way. I contacted Holloways of Ludlow again and explained that I no longer wanted the item and asked them to stop the delivery. I was told this wouldn’t be a problem and that APC had been contacted.
However, the item still arrived the next day and I refused delivery. Even more frustratingly, APC attempted to deliver it again two days later, despite the order being cancelled and my refund already having been processed.
The whole process felt disorganised and frustrating. Communication between Holloways of Ludlow and their delivery partner was clearly lacking, and the conflicting information throughout didn’t inspire confidence.
I have given 2 stars rather than 1 because, to be fair, every time I called someone did answer the phone, and my refund was processed quickly and was back in my account within 48 hours.
Unfortunately, based on this experience, I wouldn’t be in a hurry to order from them again or recommend them.

Hi OlyMarks,
Thank you for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback, and we're very sorry that your experience did not meet the standards you expected from us.
We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to receive conflicting updates on your order, and then to have delivery attempts made after you had cancelled the order and been assured this had been stopped. We appreciate how this would have caused unnecessary inconvenience.
While we're pleased that your refund was processed promptly and that you found our team available when you called, it's clear we fell short in communicating both with you and our delivery partner. We have taken your feedback on board and will be reviewing this internally to help improve our processes.
Thank you again for your balanced and honest review. We genuinely appreciate your comments and are sorry that this experience has left you feeling unable to recommend us. If you would like to discuss this further, please contact our customer service team at customerservice@hollowaysofludlow.com.
