amazing! Would definitely recommend!

I bought
one large star and one small heart oil burner and they are really lovely! The
packaging was really well done and they came with candles and wax melts. A
fantastic gift. The communication with the seller was also great as I requested
a last minute change to my order. If you are considering buying from this
seller don’t hesitate.

I don't often leave photo reviews, but absolutely everything this product is
perfect! 
The packaging and presentation are top-notch, the burner is well-made
with little rubberized pads on the base, and the wax melts fill the
entire house with a beautiful fragrance. Oh, and the seller is lovely
and responsive as well. :)
I was so impressed I immediately bought another burner and melts

Distilled by nature

100% SOY WAX

At Dovecote, we intentionally craft all-natural, botanical products made to complement whole living. A family business, Dovecote emerged from the belief that all home goods, whether luxury or necessity, should be made with clean and safe ingredients.

We only use wooden wicks & no need to trim at first light, you must remove the burnt wood off your wick in between burns.

The majority of candles on the market contain Paraffin wax -- a petroleum by-product that may contaminate the air with petrol-carbon soot. This is why we choose to use 100% soy wax, a vegetable-based wax made from the oil of soy beans.

Our Story

They say that those big events that come around across your lifetime and change everything really put things into perspective.
That’s what happened to me and that’s how Dovecote Northumberland was born.
I haven’t looked back since!
Back in 2019, after overcoming life-threatening illness and some big life changes, I decided to start experimenting with candle making.
What started off as a way of losing myself and being distracted, turned into something much more special.
The hobby that I was becoming more and more passionate about, was taking up a lot of my time and I couldn’t have been happier about it.
Friends and family started to ask me to make gifts for their homes, birthdays and life events.
Since then, my “self-help” interest has gone from strength to strength and today, I couldn’t be prouder of the business I have built from scratch.
I am more passionate than ever about the brand and each individual item is still as lovingly made as it was when it all started.
Hand-poured in Northumberland, each product embodies a piece of tranquillity and peace from the place I call home – the beautiful Northumberland Coast.
The aim is to create beautiful products filled with light and positive energy that you can enjoy in your happy places with the people you love.
I hope you enjoy.

When buying from a maker!

You’re buying more than just an object, you’re buying hundreds of hours of failures and experimentations. You’re buying days, weeks and months of unfiltered emotions with moments of pure joy that are quite literally poured into every piece. Subsequently, you aren’t just buying an object, you are buying a piece of heart and soul. A chance to own a moment of someone’s life, that really does have that special meaning. By buying from us, you are buying us more time to do something we love.
