Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the high quality of the products, noting their excellent build and efficient performance. Many people highlight the helpfulness and knowledge of the staff, emphasizing the exceptional service received from initial advice through to installation. The overall user experience is frequently described as positive, with consumers finding the products easy to use and maintain. However, some customers also noted occasional issues with rope seals needing re-gluing shortly after installation, causing inconvenience and requiring installer visits. A few other people also felt that a specific stove model's vent was not effective enough, requiring the door to be kept open. There was also a mention of a back plate warping issue in one instance, attributed by the company to overheating, which the customer disputed.

Stove fitted, looks good, excellent instructions for use, produces lovely heat and large door window gives room a cosy feel when lit. Wish we had replaced our open fire years ago.

The Charnwood Country 4 is a great wood burners

Charnwood have a great range of wood burners and we were able to choose the right one to suit us very easily. It’s also nice to have a good choice of colours to pick from. We have the Country 4 and we’re very happy with it.

What an excellent experience!

What an excellent experience!
My Charwood Woodburner had developed cracks in the back plates and I was concerned whether it was a) safe and b) needed replacing. Had a very useful phonecall which put my mind at rest. They asked me to send photos to confirm what they'd said and responded to this the next day.
Thankyou!

Great stove, delivered to Philips stoves in Ballymena, 2 screws missing from bottom closure plate, luckily we noticed before the installation. Rectified by collecting new screws from supplier.

Very happy with our Charnwood stove

We opted for the Charnwood C4Blu because it looked the right size for our lounge. The heat output is really good and the stove itself is very nice in appearance. We purchased the stove from The Stove Yard in Holmes Chapel, Cheshire and it was installed with hardly any mess or disruption by Town and Country Stoves of Congleton (both companies I would highly recommend)

The construction of the stove is excellent. The stay cool handle, easy to use riddle and emptying tray. The only thing that lets it down for me is the single pane door which is not easy to keep clean.

Good choice and fitted very well into the existing fireplace.

We had one of your dealers to do the work and they were great. Very tidy and clean working and demonstrated how to use it, so far we are very pleased with the fire, much easier than our Baxi fire which was removed, it had kept us warm for over 40 years but this one is easier to light, keep clean and less bending.
