Salamander Hobbit Stove
If you're looking for a compact wood burning stove in Hampshire, the Salamander Hobbit Stove is one of the most versatile and characterful stoves on the market. Designed in Devon and built from high-quality cast iron, it's perfect for smaller fireplaces, cottages, garden rooms, shepherd's huts, canal boats and homes where space is at a premium.
At Stubbys Stoves, we regularly help customers across Hampshire, Dorset and Wiltshire find the right stove for their home, and the Hobbit is always a popular choice thanks to its compact size, excellent build quality and traditional styling.
Whether you're replacing an open fire or installing a stove into a smaller space, the Hobbit delivers impressive performance without overwhelming the room.
Small Stove, Big Character
The Salamander Hobbit proves that you don't need a large stove to create a warm and inviting focal point.
With its traditional cast iron styling, large viewing window and compact proportions, the Hobbit looks perfectly at home in both period properties and contemporary interiors. Its classic appearance is complemented by modern clean-burning technology, giving you the best of both worlds.
One of its biggest advantages is its incredibly compact footprint. Measuring just over 300mm wide, it's designed specifically for installations where larger stoves simply won't fit. This makes it an excellent choice for smaller chimney openings, garden buildings and unique spaces where a standard stove would be too large.
The Hobbit is also highly customisable, with optional extras including a stand, brass fittings, gallery rails and even a choice of colours, allowing you to personalise the stove to suit your home.
