Report
We have been after a log burning stove for quite a while but had never taken the plunge. Lower Barn Farm was recommended to us and it was easy to see why. We first Nick who was very informative and not the least bit pushy. He explained everything to us in great detail making the final decision quite easy.

Report
I recently spent a while considering a purchase of a wood burning stove. I had visited many websites and a few shops but for one reason or another I didn't purchase one.
