She’s always so excited to come and is always exhausted once she’s home. We feel so comfortable leaving her here, especially while we were away on holiday - we had lovely updates and knew she was being thoroughly well looked after. Thank you! Rebecca Wallman Perfect for my long-legged hound who likes to run around. It's so refreshing to find somewhere for dogs to be dogs and spend time outside in a natural environment and not on concrete. The staff take the time to let you know how your dog has been and seem to genuinely care about the animals they look after. Penny comes home absolutely exhausted so I know she has been active and having fun all day. I highly recommend.

Hi, We always have a lovely quiet day, the day after the dogs have been with you. So we get two great days of peace ? Thank you. Jane Wadley Thanks so much to all the staff at the Doggy Lodge. My dogs were absolutely worn out from all the excitement of such a fun day Jelly and Juno had a wonderful time. When we left, they were asleep before I had even pulled out of the drive! What a fantastic place, I wish I had known about the Doggy Lodge sooner and will definitely recommend you to my friends. Thank you. Fiona Hurd Our boy goes regularly and absolutely loves it. I would definitely recommend! Emma Bright This place is great!! Really loved the look and feel of the place as soon as I visited. Lovely friendly atmosphere. My dog max was absolutely shattered when he came home and I love the fact that he can socialise all day with so many different dogs. I’m so glad I found out about the doggy lodge!! I can’t wait for Max’s next visit to play. Thank you so much x Doreen Hillier Can’t praise enough!!! This was the first time our 18 month old pups had been away., so it was nerve racking for me. There was no need to have worried, they were well looked after, and most of all they had fun, whilst learning to socialise. Would highly recommend. Diane Eglin Can't praise Doggy Lodge enough. Alfie's loves it, he can't get out of the car quick enough and doesn't even turn around to say goodbye. Would recommend you any day, we have no worries and always know that he's safe and happy. Alfie once again was so excited when he realised where he was going. Loves spending the day with you and would easily come everyday if he could Dena Aronberg Everyone I met at doggy lodge was really interested in doggy welfare and very personable. Unfortunately, in spite of care and attention, my very nervous lurcher wouldn't settle on his trial morning. This is down to my dog's issues. I collected him early. I was more than impressed when I was refunded for the morning. Just want to say a big thank you to doggy lodge for giving Jasper a chance. I will definitely recommend them as it is a secure, safe, fun and caring place for most dogs. Debra Mclaren Friday is Lola’s favourite day of the week when she comes to play at Doggy Lodge! Deborah Swan The Doggy lodge is absolutely brilliant. Our Jack loves it there and is looked after so well. He also has so much fun. Thank you all x Damian Lizak Professional and friendly staff. Yoda hopes to see you again. Clare Hayes Top class friendly service. Happy dogs. Claire Rulton Rosie has had a wonderful time at Doggy Lodge, she came home very tired and happy! Catie Spink We had a fantastic breed day here. The staff are very friendly and clearly love the dogs! 3 hours of off lead fun for the furries and 3 hours of unstressful chatting time with the other owners. We will definitely be booking in again - cannot rate this place highly enough Abbie Wilden Very happy with the service our dogs were very sleepy and didn't seem worried at all Clair Tomalin A wonderful service! They always save the day when the unexpected crops up and I need care for my furry friend at short notice. The facilities are great and so brilliant for socialization with such a great collection of different types and size of dogs for my little one to play with. She always comes back and goes straight to sleep after such a busy day, so great for her exercise too! Can't recommend them enough for what they offer and their obvious care and engagement with their daily guests. Diane CoxHi everyone at the Doggy Lodge, Eddie would like to thank you for an amazing week. He had great fun and was exhausted every night. My daughter who brought him and picked him up said he was like a different dog, very well behaved, no going crazy when anyone visited. A Big Thank you to everyone and Eddie will definately be coming again.Paul SkingleThis place is a real gem highly recommend even if you just wanted to teach your dog how to socialise. The ease of booking and the way our dog was treated make the doggy lodge a first rate place of care.

The environment is doggy heaven, a great place for continuing socialisation and stimulation. The photos and videos on FB site are great. Will be making this a weekly visit.Carrie HaslerJenson is a very ‘golden’ retriever today! After a lovely morning playing at the Doggy Lodge, Chloe gave him a grooming session. He looks gorgeous and smells divine. It was his first time, but won’t be the last. Thanks to all x All Jenson really wants is to run and play with other dogs, and he's found his perfect paradise at the Doggy Lodge!Charlotte HodsonHunter loved his first couple of days, of day care!

Our Labrador puppy has a great time and returns home a very happy but tired dog. Thank you.Tracy MillerThank you for making Archie's first day at the Doggy lodge so easy. As he is only four months I was worried about leaving him, but there was no need as I know he was treated like he would be in his own home and was very well looked after. Wouldn't hesitate to bring him back.Jan StocksCody looked like he thoroughly enjoyed himself, not sure he wanted to come home!!Claire HannanHaving found your company on Facebook, I needed your Doggy Daycare quite suddenly as we were attending a funeral that was not local. Phoned & spoke to a friendly person, who instructed me in all aspects & I managed to finish off the booking online, which was very easy to use. Found the Day care quite easily & both my greyhounds left me willingly! Again, another friendly person handled the dogs & off I went. I saw the outside area where there were already quite a few dogs playing & apparently my two couldn't wait to join in. After picking them both up just before closing, I was told they had behaved themselves, enjoyed playing with everyone & were welcome back. Lovely, I feel quite happy taking them back again, & I will be booking them in again as they came back tired & slept all night. Plus they've both been off the lead & run around the large play area, which is great as they don't get off the lead normally because as they're ex-racing greyhounds, they can't be trusted to come back especially if there's something that requires chasing in the foreground!!! I would highly recommend this service, maybe handy if they offered a feeding service for the dogs that are there all day, it's not a criticism, just a thought. Thank you very much for looking after Thad & Tula. xXxXxAngie RainsIt was great to know that Reggie was able to play and have fun for the day, as well as being supervised and safe. He came home shattered and happy. Thank you.Louise WilliamsFantastic site for dogs to run around in safety. Professionally run. Willow was exhausted when she got home, we didn't hear a peep from her. Highly recommended.David OliverBenji the Miniature Schnauzer has been attending Doggy Lodge Daycare a few days each week for a month or so now. He was a very anxious little boy when he first started going and was very noisy round strangers and other dogs. He has grown in confidence after each visit and is now very well behaved each visit. He is very excited when arriving at Doggy Lodge Daycare and cannot wait to get in. We are very happy with Doggy Day Care and think it is an excellent venue to for your dog to attend.Jade WoodyardJay loved he whole day! & was sound asleep when we got home, such a lovely place with wonderful staff, i know Jays looked after well & hes very excited to stay the weekend! Thanks again JadeChad PageExcellent facilities and terrific value Staff were professional and very friendly highly recommended My dog Bella was well looked afterAmanda WallbankI should have used Doggy Day Lodge along time ago.

I'm not sure if she is looking forward to meeting all the other dogs or the lovely team that help look after her. Leaving her with you for the day, I no I don't have to worry as she is being looked after so well. Thank youMartin HoldenYou look after coco and bumble so well.

I really recommended.Heather EastwoodRio had a fun filled day and certainly slept well.Katrina LehmanOllie absolutely loves coming to visit. He enjoys playing with the dogs and talking to the staff. He comes home exhausted and sleeps well. I feel better knowing that he is out enjoying himself for the day rather than sitting at home alone while I'm at work. I would recommend Doggy Lodge to anyone who requires care for their dog. I really appreciate the changes you have made to suit my circumstances. We will be seeing you again soon!! Thanks so much. KatrinaTracey DillonThank you for looking after Keiser. What a wonderful idea, and very reasonably priced (I've paid £10 previously for someone to walk him for an hour!) It was his first time and as an 18 month old chocolate lab, I'm sure you had your hands full all day! He slept from 8pm that night and that's never happened before, so I'll be back very soon!
