Reviews
My cat Kira absolutely loves staying here. She loves both Lilla and Jeremy and seems to make new cat friends with each visit. I've seen her confidence grow with each stay!
The best place for your fur-baby! Lots of lovely sunny spots, hidey-holes, and comfortable sofas for cat naps. They even have a fish pond! My cat stayed for almost a month.
I cannot recommend too highly this Cattery. The 2 owners have made a stay for our cat the highlight of her life. Superb facilities and freedom to wander at will.
