The Country Crib Wins Best Lifestyle Store!

We've always believed that people buy from people. As a small independent business, and shopkeepers since October 2024, we understand the importance of connecting with customers in person, not just online.

Running your own small business can be tough, particularly in a world where so many people buy from multibillion pound organisations for convenience and cheap prices. But our focus has always been about making a difference - selling quality products that we make ourselves, sourcing sustainably and locally where possible, celebrating makers, and most of all, being honest and building trust with our customers.

The love and positive feedback we hear from our loyal customers really keeps us going. So it's especially heartwarming to hear recently that we have won Best Lifestyle Store Muddy Stiletto's Awards for the Dorset and Somerset region, including Bristol and Bath! We are over the moon! Thanks to everyone who voted for us x
