We have tried a number of catteries in this area since moving here two years ago and this is the best one by far.

The chalets and runs are spotless and have a nice view of the garden. There is space between the runs for hygiene and privacy but the cats do get to look around them and so there is visual stimulation for them. They can bring their own toys and beds for familiarity.

Most importantly, the proprietors, James and Paul, are very experienced in their field and are well placed to take care of the cats' health and well-being during their stay. They have a wonderfully calm manner with the cats and even our two older cats, by nature very shy and nervous, have looked relaxed and "chilled" by the time we return to collect them. They are always in excellent shape, with bright eyes and shiny coats, and their dietary needs are observed strictly.

Our two younger cats were very small when they first stayed with Paul and James but they settled in straight away and barely gave us a backwards glance. They love climbing and scratching, both of which they can do easily in their run.

We would highly recommend this cattery for peace of mind when you have to leave your cat or cats behind.
