A wonderful haven for you dog. If you worry about leaving your best friend when you're off on…read moreholiday, or just need a breather, then consider using the dog hotel. The owner is a trained dog carer and adores the animals that stay in her home. She'll do everything she can to keep you and your dog happy whilst apart; including email updates, texts or calls. Only 2/3 dogs are taken in at any one time. This service bares no similarity to a kennel - it's a true home from home. Prices are fantastic and the service exceptional. Just take your dog's bed, food and any special requests. There's outside space and the dogs are walked in the morning and evening too. Really, don't hesitate.

I would like to strongly refute the previous review. The Canine Country Retreat provides a loving…read moreand stimulating environment for dogs in day care or 'holiday' stays. Fiona herself is a delight - someone who is utterly committed to the welfare of the dogs in her care. My own rescue Jack Russell who is a rather nervous and fearful soul, cannot wait to get there and clearly has a great time in exploring the huge garden, going for walks and relaxing in the home comforts Fiona provides. I cannot speak too highly of this establishment and the owner.

Sarah has been looking after our dogs for a number of years now and I have found her to be very…read morereliable, trustworthy and caring. Sarah's attention to our dogs is phenomenal, she cares as much for our animals when she is with them as we would. If there is a problem then she would contact us straight away. Our dogs have plenty of walks throughout the days, but not too much for our old dog as she can not walk too far, Sarah walks our dogs to their individual needs. Sarah even looks after our fish for us so we don't have to worry about them. We have never had to worry about leaving her in charge of our house as we have found her to be totally trustworthy and she would be the only one to have access to our house, everything is always left in the same place as we have left it. Basically I would always have Sarah to house and dog sit as she has become someone we believe in, my dogs always look well looked after and happy when we return from our holiday, and I think thats how you can tell when you have someone good.... the animals will let you know!

This was the first time I had ever placed my two dogs a German Shepherd and a Retriever into a…read morekennels so I was very anxious. I need never have worried. The kennels are more like mini sitting rooms with their own TV and radio. The facilities are excellent. Although they were naturally pleased to see me on my return it was clear that they had been well looked after. The owners are lovely and friendly and you can see how much they love dogs. I will have no hesitation in taking my 'Boys' for a holiday again.

The opening times are printed on the side wall but the owners are very helpful if they do not suit. When I arrived nobody was around , so I wandered up the kennels , it was extremely clean and the animals were excited and appeared happy. I was greeted with a smile and it wasn't a problem I had looked around. The dogs have access to a long grass run twice a day , are encouraged to bring bedding and toys and they have a large supply of dog food so you don't have to bring your own. The owners and staff have always genuinely appeared to love the animals and I am happy to return .
