Family Dog Boarding on 3 Acres
Luxury countryside holiday for your dog- We're a family of genuine dog lovers based in a beautiful rural setting with over three acres of outdoor space, giving dogs plenty of room to explore, play and relax in a safe environment. Dogs have been a huge part of our family for over 20 years. During that time we've raised puppies through every stage of life, right through to the grand old age of 13. We even had two Labrador puppies together at the same time, so we're very familiar with the fun, energy and commitment that comes with caring for young dogs. Today, we're proud owners of two beautiful Wirehaired Vizslas, who are affectionate, energetic and much-loved members of our family. Our home is in a peaceful rural location, accessed via a farm track and set well away from busy roads. The grounds include a stream, bee hives, chickens, a wildflower meadow and an allotment, creating a calm countryside setting for dogs to enjoy fresh air, nature, walks and supervised outdoor time. Our aim is simple – to provide a loving home where your dog is treated as one of the family. Whether they're staying for a day, a weekend or a longer holiday, they'll receive plenty of attention, exercise, cuddles and regular photo updates, giving you complete peace of mind while you're away. We understand every dog is different, so we'll take the time to learn their routine, feeding schedule, favourite walks and any special requirements to ensure they feel comfortable and settled. We only accept a limited number of dogs at any one time so every guest receives the individual care and attention they deserve. We'd love to arrange a meet and greet before your first booking so you and your dog can get to know us and make sure we're the perfect match. We look forward to welcoming your four-legged family member into ours!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I can’t recommend Claudia highly enough. She has a genuine love for dogs and treats every one as if they were her own. Her beautiful countryside home is the perfect setting, with three acres of secure private land, surrounded by fields, woodland and a stream, giving dogs endless opportunities to explore safely and enjoy the outdoors. Inside, they’re welcomed into a warm family home where they receive plenty of love, attention and cuddles. Claudia is caring, trustworthy and always puts each dog’s welfare first. I would have complete confidence leaving my dog with her and know they’d come home happy, relaxed and looking forward to their next stay.

Schedule
I work part-time in a school, so our current availability is weekends from Friday to Sunday and during the school holidays. This gives us plenty of time to provide proper care, exercise, playtime and companionship while your dog stays with us. We’ll always aim to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, rest periods and any specific care requirements.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We offer home-from-home dog boarding in our beautiful rural setting, where your dog will become part of our family for the duration of their stay. Our spacious barn conversion is set within three acres of secure private land, giving dogs plenty of room to exercise, play and explore safely under supervision. We're also surrounded by countryside with numerous off-road walking routes and no busy roads nearby, making it the perfect environment for dogs who enjoy being outdoors. Our family consists of myself, my husband, our two teenage daughters and our 8-year-old daughter. We're all genuine dog lovers and have over 20 years of experience owning and caring for dogs. Your pet will receive plenty of love, attention and companionship throughout their stay. We also have two friendly Wirehaired Vizslas with wonderful temperaments. They are well socialised, love meeting new dogs and thoroughly enjoy having canine guests to play with. We understand that every dog is unique, so we'll always take the time to follow their normal routine, including feeding, exercise, medication (where required) and plenty of cuddles. Dogs are always supervised while outdoors, despite our secure grounds, and for added peace of mind we also have spare GPS dog trackers available for use during outdoor adventures should owners wish.

A typical day
A typical day with us is all about fun, adventure and plenty of love. Living in a beautiful rural setting, your dog will enjoy exploring our three acres of secure private land, along with countryside walks through fields, woodlands and beside the stream that borders our property. Every walk offers new sights, smells and adventures in a safe, peaceful environment away from busy roads. Back at home, there’ll be lots of time to play, relax and enjoy cuddles as part of our family. Whether it’s playing with our two friendly Wirehaired Vizslas, Amber and Radar, enjoying enrichment games, or simply relaxing in the garden, your dog will receive plenty of one-to-one attention throughout the day. Our aim is to provide a true home-from-home experience where every dog feels safe, loved and part of the family. We will send regular photo/video updates, so you can relax knowing your dog is having their own countryside holiday while you’re away.
