Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company.

The products, particularly the stoves, are frequently described as efficient and high-quality, with many consumers expressing satisfaction with their performance and heat output. The customer service and after-sales support are highlighted as excellent, with quick response times and effective solutions to inquiries.

Burley Hollywell stove

I have had a Burley Hollywell wood stove for a number of years now.
I have had lots of stoves over the years and none as good as this unit.
As with any stove its very important that you burn dry wood only if you do this and your chimney is correct with a good draw etc then this stove is unbeatable.
The large glass door is amazing its a real feature.
You can see the flames dancing.
Most important is the heat output and after sales.
The heat output is quick and heats my cottage completely.
I sometimes think I got the incorrect size as its that good so be careful what size you order.

Next time I'll order the size below if needed - and it will definitely be a Burley - built here in the UK that was very important to me ( even if I am Irish )
However the size was on me as all the other stoves I have had promised so much but never really delivered .
I was wrong with this one it over performs amazing .
The after sales support is outstanding with the team and Chris at Burley always there to help and Jack at Stoves and Solor as the spare parts company amazing.
He goes above and beyond.

To add I have not been asked to leave this review from anyone.

Also I'm that confident about the stove your welcome to phone me for my full opinion.
Phone Chris at Burley I am more then happy for him/them to pass on my number.
I note some people might have different experiences but I'm sure if the wood is correct ( dry ) and the chimney also set up correctly you can't beat them.

Hi John, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed and glowing review! It’s fantastic to hear that after years of owning various stoves, the Hollywell has come out on top as your clear favourite. You’ve raised some brilliant technical points, and you’re absolutely right that using dry wood and ensuring a correct chimney draw are the essential requirements for making any stove perform at its best. It’s also great to hear that our heat output is actually over-delivering for your cottage! We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to Chris and the rest of the team here in Oakham. It’s also wonderful to hear your praise for Jack at Stoves and Solar; we work closely with our spare parts partners to ensure that level of "above and beyond" support continues long after the stove is installed.

Outstanding Service

Seldom does one experience excellence when it comes to customer service, but the service I recently received from Burley Appliances and in particular Chris Astley-Stone, fully met the meaning of the word. Worth every penny of the journey to the factory and more.

Great to be able to talk to a knowledgeable human being.

Great to be able to talk to a real human being who knew what they were talking about, rather than having to deal with a bot or someone in a call centre who didn't know the product. Very helpful and gave me exactly the help I needed.

Excellent customer service and excellent products. I’ve had my Burley stove for about 7 years now and I’m absolutely delighted with it. I don’t like the season of winter but having a Burley stove to come home to, makes it something to look forward to winter for! I will be buying another one soon and it will definitely be a Burley

Hi Robin, Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback! It’s fantastic to hear that after 7 years, you’re still "absolutely delighted" with your Burley stove. We completely understand—while winter can be a bit of a slog, there’s nothing quite like the heat from a world-class, efficient stove to change your perspective on the cold months! We're thrilled that you’re planning on choosing another Burley for your home. We'll be sure to pass on your thanks to Chris and the rest of the team here in Oakham.

Our Burley Hollywell wood burner is amazing and it is a highly efficient piece of kit, providing you use it properly!
We spoke to Chris Astley-Stone at Burley in Oakham, he was so knowledgeable, nice to talk to and very helpful despite being at near closing time on a Friday.

The support he provided was fantastic and we began using the burner so much more efficiently. He sent us all the information via email including a supplier for spares.
Great support and excellent customer service!
Thank you Chris and also to Burley for such a fantastic product.

Hi Ray, Thank you so much for the fantastic review! It’s great to hear that your Hollywell is performing so well for you. You’ve hit the nail on the head, as our stoves are indeed "highly efficient pieces of kit," but getting the best out of that physics-defying burn does rely on using the correct technique and loading weights of wood per hour. Providing that technical support, even late on a Friday afternoon, is what we’re here for. We're pleased to hear that the email and the info on spare parts suppliers helped you. We’ll be sure to pass on your thanks to Chris and the team here in Oakham.

Had an issue with high CO emissions

Had an issue with high CO emissions, engineer condemned flueless gas fire.
Contacted your Chris and he was very helpful in putting the engineer right, 👍
