Our 3 dogs loved there stay. It’s lovely having such a fab doggy holiday home to leave them in when we are away. They love it and we don’t have to worry about them at all. Susan and Shaun have been amazing helping us get to grips with getting our dogs to calm down and behave. Really can’t thank you enough. Xx
