SUPERB

We have used the kennels for many years first with our German shepherd who always raced out of the car to be given a warm welcome and now with our cat. Lovely, friendly family business . We have been away on very long cruises and our pets always come back happy and looking well and in good condition. Wouldn't consider going anywhere else.

Not a great experience

1
When we arrived the staff took one of our dogs and attempted to get him into the kennel building. When he wouldn't go we offered to help and on the third go went in. We asked about outdoor time and what happens if he wouldn't go back in to which a reply of 'we won't have that problem's and the classic 'your anxiety is being transferred down the lead' statement really didn't explain why someone working there with no anxiety would have a problem.

The building was large and noisy with no direct access to the outside. Based on the number of dogs I'm not sure how they all managed independent outdoor time when the paddock is also bookable separately. There was also one member of staff visible which seemed low for the number of dogs.

When we came back the dogs smelled like they had been in their kennels during cleaning time and the two members of staff really smelled of urine and cleaner. We regretted leaving them at first and will our fears were realised. Stay away.

Thank you for your fed back we will take into consideration everything you have said. However we do not appreciate the way you said we smelt this is rude and not appropriate. Regards, Thrift End Farm Kennels & Cattery

dangerously unreliable - avoid

The place per se may not be bad. But the last experience we had was very bad. We booked over Easter, but ended up not travelling, so we decided to keep our dog at home for part of the booking. We made it abundantly clear that we'd pay for the whole original booking, including the days our dog would be at home. This was accepted: they were getting money and didn't have to look after our dog.
This morning we called to see if we could bring in our dog, to drop her off for part of the booking. Surprisingly, the staff became rude, claimed we'd "messed them about" (I object: we gave them money in return for no service), and they'd cancel our bookings, even the ones made in the future and paid in advance.
The farm said we'd get all our money back, but I am not sure, of course, whether they will honour this on account of their lack of reliability and professionalism. For sure, as of now, they have taken our money and are not prepared to offer what we paid for.

Our little ollie olls has been coming here for the last six years sometimes three times a year and we have never been disappointed. Ollie gets excited when we pull up now as he recognises the smells and location. He is also excited to come home too. He gets lots of cuddles and I haven't had to worry about him.

The family business is run like clockwork and thankfully we have never been turned away. Its value for money, even when we first used the kennels we lived twenty miles away and still found it suited ollie. We now live closer and would highly recommend your family pet to try this place over others locally.

A big thank you to all the Ward's love the Maycock's.

My dog has stayed here a couple of times. I love the flexibility of pick up and drop off times. It's a simple stay with no frills, but great value and my dog is well taken care of.

These wonderful people have boarded our animals a number of times, they are caring and attentive to your pets needs always. Our most recent visits have been to the paddock. Our greyhounds love it there, it is safe, clean and well tended. This is a family-run business, always friendly and the dogs adore all the staff. Prices are very reasonable too. All in all, a great visit every time.
