Written by the company

The Bearded Candle Makers is an award-winning independent Irish candle company creating hand-poured candles, wax melts and home fragrance inspired by Ireland’s landscapes, stories and traditions. From the smoky comfort of A Real Turf Fire to the wild beauty of Achill Island, every scent is carefully blended and made in our County Down workshop. We believe a candle should do more than make a room smell lovely—it should spark memories, create atmosphere and tell a story. Our products are made in small batches using quality ingredients and are beautifully packaged for gifting, whether you are sending a little piece of Ireland abroad or bringing the feeling of home into your own space. With friendly personal service, thoughtful storytelling and more than a decade of candle-making experience, we are proud to create authentic Irish fragrances that our customers return to time and again.

Really sad about what used to be a great company

This company used to be great and I’m not sure why that has changed. After over a month of waiting for my order and attempting to contact the company in various ways, I had to get my money back via my bank. I can see now that this is a common experience in the last few months so I’m glad I stocked up on their ‘Christmas in a tin’ candles while they were still functioning. What a shame.

Unrivalled Quality

I have ordered candles from the Bearded Candle Makers on & off for a number of years and, honestly, I just don't understand the negative reviews. Their product is legitimately unrivalled, their personal touches (handwritten thank you notes) are lovely and I've never been disappointed with a delivery or delivery time. So, yeah, please be assured this is a truly excellent little business.

Ordered two candles as a present

Ordered two candles as a present. Unfortunately when they arrived one of the candles was mistakenly replaced as wax melts. I got in contact and they sent me a replacement free of charge and were very helpful!

£60 down the drain

My boyfriend and I love these candles and have been purchasing them for years. However in December he ordered 2 sets of candles for Christmas gifts and after several emails and trying to contact via insta had no response. These totalled to £60 and still haven’t received or gotten a refund!

Beautifully packaged, prompt delivery.

Very prompt delivery. Securely packaged and with style. A free wax melt was included and all packaging was biodegradable or reusable (candle tin). The package was also sprayed with a delicious scent so it was a luxury to receive. The scents are strong, and wax is from sustainable Soy farms. Would order again.
