The candles come in all sizes and fragrances imaginable, so there are endless options to choose from. While the quality of the candles is certainly there, the price is reflective of that. Although they do have occasional sales, I personally find them to be generally high priced, but I'm sure there are other people that find their prices to be okay. That said, I do recommend stopping in for the experience and judging for yourself. There is plenty of parking, handicapped accessable and it has clean public restrooms. If you found this review helpful, please tap the thumbs up to let me know. Thanks!

The name I drew (again) asked for candles and since I'm 2800 miles from home I made the trek to Bernsrdston to see if I could score some something different from the offerings back in Nevada.

Business owner has extremely poor people skills. Literally told me to "leave and come back in 10-15…read moreminutes " because she was running late and frazzled. She clearly saw what an inconvenience it was to me, as there was a lot I was carrying in my hands and she effectively told a customer to inconvenience themselves, go down 2 flights of stairs, and come back up again, and pretend nothing transpired in an attempt to have a good experience. We were a group of 6. Forces guests into false marketing initiatives. We clearly did not want our pictures taken but pushed for social media engagement. Rushes people. Lack of inventory and not as advertised. When we went, extremely limited options on packaging, scents, stickers, etc. There were absolutely no charms available to us, while seeming readily available and accessible on social media. Extremely disappointing and disheartening, as we all paid full price. There is an all-around vibe of discomfort and lack of awareness on how a customer should be treated. Inserts herself into private conversations. You're better off going to another place for a far better experience. The response here is dismissive and abysmal to be honest. The demand "to further engage" is highly unprofessional and inappropriate and reinforces again why my friends and I feel uncomfortable in this atmosphere and will never be back. No one "owes" that to a business owner who should know better.

We visited during their "Christmas in July" event, so Santa was there, which the kids loved. There's a sand play area, a kids' toy section, a Christmas area, scents, fudge, ice cream, pizza, an animatronic show with seating, Build-A-Bear, ornaments, and flowers everywhere you look. There really is something for everyone. Just know that pretty much everything here is expensive. We usually treat it more as a place to walk around and enjoy the atmosphere rather than shop. Even without buying much, it's still a fun experience. The whole place has a fun, festive atmosphere and is easy to wander around. The only thing that surprised me was how many grouchy people we ran into. Come on people, you're surrounded by flowers, ice cream, and Christmas decorations in July. Crack a smile and enjoy yourselves. Overall, this is a wonderful place for families and one I'd happily come back to.

I would imagine this place would be HELL if you dropped a tab of acid because there are so many hidden rooms that are extremely detailed, such as the christmas area. There's animatronics (I'll leave it at that) in the, what feels like, food court area. It's very nostalgic to a mall, serving food, fudge, and drinks with a huge seating area. There's a build a bear, make your own candles, and even a sand area! It's a fun little trip and the outside garden area is very peaceful. The bricks on the floor include employees of 10+ years on them, which I thought was thoughtful.

We were all given instructions for the candle making by Chris and he was so helpful every step of the way during the 90 minute session. We enjoyed smelling all the different oils and were able to mix the scents for our candles all while mingling and having a good time. After making the candles we also had the option to stamp the lids with a mold and I loved it!! The class was so worth it and we all left happy!! This place was a perfect girls night out.

Not only are their melts long lasting, they create some of the best scent combinations of any company I have found. Their dedication to creating quality products and excellent customer service has made me a life long customer and fan. I love their melts, candles, lotions and car diffusers to the point I almost exclusively gift from their shop for holidays. When creating their store they have been incredibly intentional in curating a space that not only will showcase their growing range of products but has also given opportunity to other small, local businesses to sell their products. This commitment to their new community and giving space to help others succeed is incredibly admirable. Definitely worth a drive to see them - smell their products in person - and I promise you will fall in love with Cottage Melts too!

zero stars, bad business, horrible customer service, sorry dalene, just calling you out, fitting…read moresince you never returned my calls either! so, cheap, yesssss, it was a warehouse. shitty product, double yesssssss! should you stay away????? yesssssssssssssss serves us right for thinking a company stood behind their product, dalene obviously doesnt, so maybe you shouldnt STAND on theirs! (OMG, im so good with yelpuns!) history. wife went looking for a new floor several months ago. she did her due diligence going to ANY flooring store in connecticut and landed on a few options, this seemed to be the most appropriate. seeing that we were on a budget, went to try their warehouse in hartford. getting in isnt easy, you need to make an appointment, but so it is sometimes. mike met us out there a couple days later and answered our questions, pretty hands off, but available should we ask anything (should have asked do you stand by your shitty product!) found something we liked, biggest concern was keeping it under 3 a sqft and loaded up the minivan (they did help us bring it out to the loading dock) and we loaded up out 700$ of new flooring and brought it back to the house. we unloaded, let it acclimate and then off to install, and curse, and lots of cursing!! the product kept breaking with little effort, after 8 (EIGHT!) boxes worth of attempts, we figured out this wasnt going to work. either the product snapped with install, or it popped apart if we could get a line done. finally after DAYS of effort down the crapper we knew this wasnt going to work and we needed an alternative. let me also put this in writing, this is a warehouse, its final sale. silly us as we assumed it wasnt going to be broken from the go, so in this case, i would have expected some sort of consideration, maybe just take back the unopened product, sure we were going to eat the 8 boxes of broken attempts, but at least its something back for money basically left to burn on the front lawn. ultimately we went with costco, yep, they sell flooring. Life Pro Tip, if you pick it up, its way cheaper then shipping (about $2.50 a sqft). after getting their product, the LVT snapped as it should, and off we went, took about 4 days non stop to get it installed, but 3 months later, still looks fantastic and better yet, we realized it wasnt our ability, it was Dalenes inferior product. well, as you would expect, we tried for MONTHS to get ahold of the GM, no returned calls or emails. i gotta tell ya, shocking considering how 'great' they were with follow up before they got our money. I even went into the manchester store and spoke with brian, he assured me someone was going to give me a call, only fair and respectful (his words) well, 3 weeks later, im still waiting and since they dont care, i figured i would share with the fine viewers of the internet. still looking for a flooring company? try costco! I stand by my flooring review (ok, i did use it twice, but its clever!)
