Cat Boarding
Our 5-star boarding service provides secure, comfortable accommodation for cats in purpose-built chalets. Each unit features temperature control, fresh air access and separate sleeping areas. With a maximum capacity of 18 cats, we ensure individual attention and maintain strict hygiene standards. Guests receive six daily check-ins including feeding, cleaning and enrichment activities.
Luxury Chalets
Spacious chalets with south-facing glass panels maximise natural light while maintaining privacy. Each includes heated sleeping areas, scratching posts and interactive toys. The design allows cats to observe garden wildlife while remaining protected from weather elements. All chalets feature easy-clean surfaces and are thoroughly sanitised between guests.
Personalised Care
We accommodate individual dietary requirements using owners' preferred food brands. Daily health monitoring tracks eating habits and litter tray usage. Special attention given to elderly or nervous cats through adjusted routines and additional comfort items. Owners may bring familiar bedding to ease their pet's transition.
Play Areas
Secure outdoor runs attached to each chalet allow fresh air exposure while maintaining safety. Enrichment activities include supervised play sessions with staff and strategically placed bird feeders for natural stimulation. The countryside setting provides continuous visual entertainment through native wildlife observation.
Special Dietary Needs
We implement precise feeding schedules matching home routines using owners' specified food types and quantities. While we don't stock veterinary diets, we accommodate special requirements by allowing owners to supply necessary foods. Filtered water is continuously available and monitored throughout the day.
