Really satisfied with our eco hobbit, it's a brilliant design. It manages to heat the whole ground floor of our house from teatime onwards when we switch off the heatpump (our Cozy Octopus cheap rate ends at 4pm).Only improvement I've made is to extend the air control levers (with some aluminium tubing plus end-covers), so they're more accessible to an elderly bloke who doesn't kneel down (or get up) so easily nowadays. But otherwise, thanks so much for a great little stove!

Hi - in the last 2 weeks I have ordered new rope for glass and new glass (as I cracked the glass) for my Salamander Hobbit. Both occasions the staff were friendly and easy to deal with. Both packages arrived quickly in very good packaging - good job! Regards Adrian Meadows.

We wanted a small wood burning stove to replace our open fire and retain the existing fire place. Our local fire place centre fitted the Hobbit just before Christmas and we are delighted with the results. Reduced fuel consumption, improved heating in fact the whole fabric of the house is warmer. Excellent little stove and looks lovely.

Wow what a perfect little stove it really is! Fulfilled all my expectations. Although I haven't bought it directly from Salamander company, can't fault customer service such as prompt answers via email conversations with Grace and Alex.I have made the right decision to choose the hobbit after reviewing and comparing with many others. The best thing about it is that it came with heatshields (optional choice) which allowed us to place it in our tiny conservatory quite close to the double glazed window to save as much space as possible.Perfect with burning either wood or coal and keeps warm all downstairs. Air controls are brilliant so you can set it to your desire burning flame .It will be a really lovely Christmas and looking forward to cold winters.Can't thank Salamander family enough for all advise and help and wish them all the best for the future.Will definitely recommend this little but mighty hobbit for sure.Many thanks and pleasure to deal with youKatarína

We love our new small Hobbit Stove, well made, attractive but with the same heat output of our larger Squirrel. Easy to install in our boatman's cabin on traditional narrow boat. A recent cold snap of minus 5 deg.C was first opportunity to test out. Using lots of kindling and high quality solid fuel was easy to start, air wash fully open and bottom open for 5 minutes, then shut bottom and opened air intake 4 turns, left for 30 minutes, added more coal, left 5 minutes then set air wash to half open and air intake 2 turns. This fire stayed in overnight and kept our engine room free of condensation and lovely and warm. Our 1930's vintage engine needs looking after in the cold weather and is so much easier to start and runs very mellow if kept above 10 deg.C. Would recommend to any boat owner and well worth the price, don't buy cheap imported copies as you will regret it!Congratulations to the Salamander team for designing and manufacturing such a great product.

I've bought spare parts for our Hobbit twice and on both occasions have been delighted with the service. I broke the glass and yesterday spoke with Alex who organised overnight delivery and called me back to let me know the cost. The glass arrived this morning and was packed really well. It's like talking to friends when you call, thanks very much!

We bought a Hobbit stove for our woodland cabin this summer and couldn't be happier! The stove is very good quality and ? together with the stand and enclosure ? a fantastic fit for our wooden cabin. It's been keeping us warm for a few weeks now and we've also used it to cook dinner and make tea.We also used their bespoke flue consultancy service and everything from first contact through to delivery and help with any questions we had along the way was top notch.Highly recommend!

I first purchased my stove in 2015 and since then I have had the prefect little wood burner. Naturally parts will need replacing and the team at Salamander have always been professional and reliable when I have, requested any spare items . They are prompt and reliable every time. I even took my stove to our new home and once again Salamander Stoves have been brilliant with support and new components when I needed them.

I think you only know how good or bad a company is when something goes wrong.My Hobbit Stove arrived with incorrect fittings and missing parts.I called the company and they worked quickly to resolve the problems. (It clearly bothered them, so they obviously cared.) The correct fittings were sent the very next day and they even wrote us some instructions to replace these. They handled the problem very well.

We love our Dining Rooms Period Tiled Insert Fireplace, but the Open Coal Fire was so inefficient that we looked for a Stove, that could be installed without any major alterations.The Hobbit fitted the bill and fortunately we already knew a local Installer with experience.It was installed last week and in view of our disappointing wet and windy Scottish Summer, it has already proven its worth, in punching above its weight!!Looks like our Dining Room, which despite a roaring Open Fire, during previous Winters, will no longer be the cool and draughtyvenue for Family Dinners and will nowoffer up a more inviting space, even for whiling away the Evenings, in an Easy Chair, with a book!!
