As of the 1st April 2026 our cattery will be reopening with a very limited number of pens available so book early to avoid disappointment. 

Our summer hours will begin on the 1st April. Drop offs and collections for Kennels will be between 9am-12pm and 1pm-4pm.  Drop offs and collections for the Cattery will be between 10am-12pm and 1pm-4pm. Any times out of these hours are via prior arrangement only and at our discretion. We are closed between 12pm-1pm daily. 

We have managed to keep our boarding fees the same for the last 2 years but unfortunately due to increase in cost of everything we have had to have a small increase which will come into effect on 1st April 2026.
