5* - we have just returned from a week’s holiday and picked up my 6 month old puppy and my parents working cocker spaniels. The staff really made me feel at ease after being apprehensive about taking my puppy for the first time and regularly posted pictures on Facebook - all the dogs have come back happy and healthy.

The worst kennels I've ever come across one walk in a field in 24hrs which I was told was not. Secure tiny pens didn't even ask to see my vaccination cards two very young girls didn't ask anything about my dogs very dark and dirty left my dogs for 2hours and cancelled my holiday and went back for them in that short space of time my bull dogs feet back an front were bleeding. Plus you have to sign a bit of paper to say pets are left at your own risk. This place is the pits if you love your pets go elsewhere. I was told that they were OK I really should have veted the place no wounder they are offering half price DISGUSTING
