Of the 183 five-star customer reviews on the Dunelm website, one buyer loves the style of the bedding set, saying, 'So happy with the Portloe gingham collection. Such a cute, cosy cottagecore vibe. I liked mine so much I bought them for the kids too'.
Another customer was tempted by a multiple purchases, commenting, 'I absolutely love this gorgeous mauve gingham duvet cover. It's soft, comfortable and looks great in our room, which is painted in a duck-egg blue. It's brilliant value for a cotton super-king with pillow cases and if they offered a turquoise, I'd be very tempted to get an another one'.

According to the product description, the Portloe Woven Gingham Duvet Cover & Pillowcase Set is made from 100% washed cotton and features a reversible design. It also boasts a button closure made from recycled plastic and can be machine washed and tumble dried on a low heat setting.
The set is available in nine colours, namely ashley blue, folkstone blue, green, blush pink, lilac, mulberry, natural, ochre, and black.

Several buyers also commented on the feel of the bedding set, with one saying, 'such a beautiful duvet cover set, washed really well, it's so soft, would love to buy it in a few different colours, really happy with this purchase' and another adding, 'Excellent bedding, high quality and feels very nice to sleep and relax in!'.
There was a surprise for one customer with the pattern of the bedding, and it was a nice surprise - they comment, 'I bought the green one and I'm made up, the quality of the cotton is fantastic. Also the gingham pattern is woven and not just printed on like most of the gingham bedding I've looked at before buying this one'.

However a handful of buyers were unimpressed by the bedding set maintenance with one explaining, ' Don't buy this set unless you are a fan of either a crumpled bed or of serious ironing. I fully expected to have to run an iron over it, after washing it, but this was hard work'.
If you're looking for alternatives to the Portloe Woven Gingham Duvet Cover & Pillowcase Set, consider the Blue Gingham Duvet Cover and Pillowcase Set from Next priced between £14- £30, available in four sizes and also in a natural tone, or the Habitat Seersucker Gingham Woven Green Bedding Set from Argos, suitable for single, double and kingsize beds and priced between £22 - £28.

Google unveils new Pixel 10 - this older phone is hundreds cheaper on launch day
One retailer has cut a huge £250 off the price of the phone and it's still packed with high-end features from its 2024 launch Google's much-anticipated Pixel 10 smartphone is set to be unveiled today, August 20. The new device will be showed off at 6pm UK time at the Made By Google event, packed with new features and expected improvements on the previous model. As with any new mobile range, along with the likes of Apple and Samsung, Google's newest device will come with a flagship price, expected to sell upwards of £799. But if you want a top-of-the-range new smartphone in your hands right away, the Pixel 9 has a hefty discount on Amazon right now. Usually going for £799, the highly-rated device is available for 31 per cent off, at £549. A year older than its newest Pixel 10 sibling, the device was only launched this time last year, making it an ideal model to consider. With a 6.3-inch screen and front and rear cameras, according to the item description, it can run for 24 hours on a single charge - and can be charged wirelessly. It features a rear 50 megapixel (MP) camera, which can record video in 4K, and a front 10.5MP camera. The phone also features AI photo editing and Gemini, Google's AI assistant. The £549 model has 128GB of memory - a 256GB version is also available, currently at £649, down from £899. It's available in four colours - obsidian, peony, porcelain, and wintergreen. The Google Pixel 9 is also available through Three, for £529. Contract deals of 12, 24, and 36 months are also available, with monthly payments depending on a one-off up-front payment. It's currently out of stock online. The phone is also available through Carphone Warehouse on a contract plan. The cheapest offer for the 128GB model is currently £19.99 per month with a £99 upfront cost with iD Mobile. This includes 25GB of data, as well as unlimited minutes and texts. Other deals are available, some of which are bundled with Google Pixel Buds or a Google Pixel Watch. The Google Pixel 9 has a 4.4 out of five rating on Amazon, with 590 reviews. One read: "I am very happy with this phone, it is so easy to use. "It has interesting features I didn't have on my previous iPhone. The design is beautiful, and the interior design of icons is very logical and well organised. And for me, the most important function, the camera is amazing, and the photos look so professional." Another praised the phone's suite of features, saying most were superior to those available on Apple's products. "The fingerprint sensor is super fast and accurate," they said. "Way better than Face ID. Super easy transfer of messages photos videos from iPhone with the built-in setup. "Bluetooth works instantly with headphones and cars. No messing around in settings. And I love the 120hz display on the regular model, not like Apple, saving that for only the pro phones. Screen brightness is plenty. Works great on the beach with the UK's August temps rn. And the Google Maps GPS is super quick to reroute compared to my iPhone. Haven't had any major signal issues like the Pixel 8 series, so hopefully this is now fixed. "Where this phone really shines is with the pixely stuff. Now playing automatically detects songs in the background and shows them in real time, even without the internet. Flipping the device silences notifications. Amazing. And the cameras are good, but where they shine is with the software magic and AI." A third said: "Fantastic phone at an amazing price. Had the Google 7 pixel pro. Loved it, but this phone is much more substantial. "It came with a huge discount. Fast delivery. Can't fault it at all." But another customer called it "total rubbish". "The fingerprint sensor doesn't work, it's so slow, and you have to do it three or four times before it opens," they said. "Gemini is truly awful. You ask it to identify a song, sometimes it works fine. Others it tells you it can't even identify songs. For nearly £800, it's not really acceptable to launch a product which is a few software updates away from working." Another said: "Changed from Samsung and it's my biggest regret. Actual phone is ok, but the camera is rubbish, the pictures are not true colours, my big red van, for example, is rust orange. I've reset everything, I've Googled, and it's still the same. Sent feedback to Google and got nothing, if it could return it tomorrow I would." But another said: " Feels great, looks great. Nice and responsive four months in and definitely my favourite phone I've ever had over the years."
