A charming dressing gown featuring a popular Scottish bovine is proving to be a surprise winter hit for retailer Next. The Hamish the Highland Cow Supersoft Dressing Gown has garnered enthusiastic reviews from customers seeking a cosy and stylish loungewear option for the colder months.
Product Details and Design
The robe, which forms part of Next's dedicated Hamish the Highland Cow range, is priced at £34. It is available in two colourways: a neutral ecru and a deep burgundy. The garment is designed for a wide range of body types, with sizing running from extra small all the way up to 3XL.
Constructed from a plush, soft fleece fabric, the dressing gown is built for comfort. Key features include a practical fabric tie belt, handy side pockets, and a cosy set-in hood. Its standout characteristic is the all-over print depicting the adorable character, Hamish the Highland Cow.
Overwhelmingly Positive Customer Feedback
At the time of writing, the product boasts an impressive average rating of 4.8 stars from 111 reviews on the Next website. Shoppers have been quick to praise its quality and design.
One satisfied customer commented on the rich colour and detailed print, stating it was "beautiful" and a "good fit," while also highlighting that it pairs well with matching slippers. Another reviewer described it as "incredible," noting that it "feels rich to wear" and holds up well in the washing machine.
The consensus points to a product that excels in warmth and softness, with multiple buyers calling it "perfect for cold winter evenings" and "great in winter." One five-star review summarised the appeal perfectly: "It’s everything you could want from a dressing gown; comfortable, soft, well sized and really love the print."
Considerations and Alternative Options
While feedback is overwhelmingly positive, a small number of reviewers mentioned the price point as a consideration, with one describing it as "very pricey." Another four-star review noted that the slippery nature of the material can sometimes mean the robe doesn't stay closed easily.
For those seeking alternative styles, there are other options on the market. Amazon sells a 'Highland Cow Wearing Bathrobe' soft women's robe for £17.99, which features an amusing print of Highland cows in their own bathrobes. Meanwhile, Dunelm offers a Ladies' Teddy Dressing Gown made from ultra-soft teddy fleece for £25.
Ultimately, the Hamish dressing gown from Next has captured the hearts of shoppers looking to combine comfort with character. Its high customer score and detailed reviews suggest it is a strong contender for anyone wanting to upgrade their winter loungewear with a uniquely British and whimsical touch.
