The service and communication has been excellent. Item came well packed with clear instructions. The smell is perfect and reminds me of sitting in the kitchen back home in Mayo. You won’t be disappointed.
This is absolutely fantastic, the founder of this idea must be so proud. On writing this I have my little cottage burning the turf and it reminds me so much of home.
Mammy would have the range going with soda bread in the oven and the tea cooking what a fantastic smell.
I absolutely love it. Thank you for the memories.
Thanks you so much! Those are truly precious memories indeed!! Delighted we could help rekindle some of that! :)
Takes me back home to Bangor. Miss this smell so much.
Absolutely delighted with it, so nostalgic. I will definitely be ordering more turf!

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT REMINDS ME OF STAYING WITH MY NANNA AND MY JOB WAS KEEPING THE FIRE BANKED UP WITH THE PEAT BLOCKS.

Absolutely stunning
This item is unbelievable its taken me back to child hood holidays to Ireland i will be ordering more
Only gave a 3 because i didnt like the smell but the house is 5* really cute and i use my incense cones.
I bought a small pack of the peat incense from curiosity, because my mum used to have an open fire, and often burnt peat blocks. This was decades ago, when you could get them in Sussex! I loved going to see her, and the scent brought back such lovely memories. I couldn't resist getting the cottage burner, and seeing the smoke curling from the chimney just filled me with delight. Sometimes the small, simple pleasures really are the best.
Cute little cottage and the scent from the turf/ peat is perfect. A reminder of a great holiday in Ireland
A beautiful handmade cottage to house the authentic turf. Beautiful evocative smells fill the room when it is lit. A great addition to any home or as a gift to someone living abroad.
My daughter inlaw gifted me the turf cottage for Christmas. Best gift ever! I grew up in N. Ireland and have great memories of sitting around turf fires. Brilliant product!
Bought this for myself in December & absolutely love it. I no longer have a coal fire & this brings me right back to my childhood. It gives me such comfort! I've just made my 2nd purchase as i've run out!
I grew up in a big city, but spent every single childhood holiday in the West with my family. Turf fires to cook with on the range, turf fires every evening. Walks in the countryside, visiting friends and family, all of my most precious memories are now with me in another country which I call my home now. Can’t rate highly enough for sentimental value of times, people and places, long since passed.
The cottage is great. Works perfectly. I was surprised a bit at the size. A bit smaller than I thought it would be but it ended up perfect! It was a gift for my father who was raised near where the cottages were made!
Brilliant Mike, thanks! Great things in small packages etc! :) Brilliant to hear it has a new local home too!
Sent my 2 brothers in law a Irish cottage each,they were delighted with the product and brought back some happy memories. Found the whole ordering process great and delivered promptly, Highly recommend this lovely gift
Thank you so much Mary! We truly appreciate that! Glad to hear your brother in laws enjoyed them too! 😊
Bought as a present for Christmas , so no idea what it smells like yet , can’t wait.
Quick delivery , well packaged.
Got this for my wife's birthday, she loved it.
Love this. Reminds me of happy times on my grannys farm in Wicklow.
Looks amazing, Xmas gifts to take to New York
Fantastic smell and model cottage
Bought to remind Irish clients of the old country, they loved it , it's like a trip down memory lane ☘️
Recordei as minhas excelentes estadias no país maravilhoso que se chama Irlanda
Love the look of it and the smell but the turf sods do not stay alight once you put the house over it. I tried it several ways.
Love it reminds me of when i go over to Donegal ☘️
Really pleased. Highly recommend.
Happy with my purchase. Love the smell. Stronger than I thought it might be which is great. The only problem I have is that the turf log is inclined to go out before it's finished smouldering. Maybe I'm doing something wrong 🤔.
Was reccomended by a friend, a great purchase what reminds me of home. Arrived sooner then expected, a well organised family business. 10/10 all round.
Bought as a gift and it’s the cutest thing ever unfortunately it looks like whoever packaged it forced it into the outer box it was being delivered ripping the inner box front and back. Still an amazing product and well packaged inside the inner box!
Hi Abi, really sorry about the box damage! We are actually currently waiting on slightly larger boxes to be delivered to accommodate these as we were aware they were a little tight, hope it didn't spoil your experience nonetheless! Thanks :)
Full details
Handmade Irish Turf Cottage Burner Set
100% handmade and hand-painted stonecast Irish Turf cottage set.
The set comes complete with a reclaimed slate burner with pads to protect surfaces, plus 5 x turf / peat incense pieces. The cottage is designed to sit atop one of our slate burners or another heat-proof surface.
This truly unique piece has been made from scratch in-house using the latest 3D scanning, printing and casting techniques. A true replica of a small cottage in Rathkeale, County Limerick, the cottage sits over your smouldering incense, allowing a gentle wisp of smoke to pour through the chimney and transport you back to old Irish times.
The cottage itself is made from Jesmonite, a very durable and eco-friendly stone resin. It is a heat-resistant and tough material with a smooth finish, completed with a hand-painted thatched roof and red barn door. This style of cottage was among the most common found throughout Ireland, with many still around today.
Includes 5 x solid sods made to burn easily and slowly, filling your home with the original smell of an Irish cottage.
These incense sods are miniature replicas of a real turf sod. Sadly, selling turf in Ireland for use as fuel has been banned, and this once-distinct aroma smelled throughout the country will diminish over time.
Keep the scent and spirit alive in your own home with this turf peat incense set.
Produced entirely on our farmland in Silverbridge in the heart of South Armagh, you can recreate the smell of rural Ireland in your own home without even owning a fireplace.
With our incense turf sods placed on the slate burner and ignited, you will soon be transported back to old Irish cottages, where warmth and cooking were provided by the open fire and sods of turf burning within.
This incense has been specially designed to be easy to ignite, with a lasting smoulder that fills the room with the distinctive smell of an open turf fire.
Each turf sod should burn for approx. 35-45 minutes.
Slates are hand cut and vary slightly in size from 8cm - 10cm in length, or roughly the size of a credit card. Each sod varies from 3cm - 4.5cm. They are natural products and will vary in size, shape and performance when burned.
The cottage dimensions are: 80mm x 70mm x 55mm
Average slate dimensions are: 80mm x 55mm
Box dimensions are: 100mm x 100mm x 100mm
Each small batch is made by hand and with love in County Armagh ❤️
