Finn

"Having just got a new pup and never used a kennel before, we were confused how to choose a good one. We visited three without making a decision then we heard good reports about Dukes Barn, from meeting the owner, it took minutes to realise she was the person to care for our pup. Parting from him was made as easy as possible, and going to pick him up was wonderful. It will be an easy choice next time we have to leave him"

Pluto

"Our Pluto has stayed several times and loved it. Now we have to leave him for much longer, we miss him so much, but know that he’s well looked after thanks to Dukes Barn."

Sasha & Sadie

"My two bishons are regulars here, and I can tell they are well looked after. Would recommend to any cat or dog lover."

Toby

My dog loves going to the kennels. All the staff are brilliant with the dogs and cats. Having been going to these kennels for 18 years, and I am taking my fourth dog there. If you are looking for kennels to take your dogs, I can’t recommend here highly enough.

Freddie & Lucky

Freddie and Lucky had a fantastic stay at Dukes Barn Farm cattery. They’ve both returned home really happy. Thankyou so much for taking care of them both.

Talia & Ted

I can’t thank charlotte and family enough. For looking after our two cats for 3 weeks. I always felt guilty leaving them, but being kept regularly updated and sent photos and videos helped so much. They’ve come home happy, loved and healthy and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dukes Barn Farm. It really is a home. From home.

Humbug

Humbug is back from his second stay at. Dukes Barn, I love this cattery, staff are friendly, and the accommodation is clean and spacious, and each cat gets a large climbing post. Would highly recommend

Tinker & Blue

We’ve been boarding all our bull mastiff girls with Dukes Barn Farm since 2010. We travel 50 minutes to bring them, but I wouldn’t use anywhere else. Lisa and family have looked after belle with lymphoma, administering all of her meds, Tinker on complete crate rest after fracturing her tibia weeks before we went away, and Blue (who luckily had no ailments until December) The girls were boarded together, giving me complete peace of mind. Sadly, Belle and Blue are now at Rainbow Bridge and this is tinkers first time on her own. I’m safe in the knowledge that she’ll be well cared for, meaning I get to enjoy my rest. Thank you

Chester

I’ve used Dukes Barn for a number of years now. Both my current dog Chester and previous dog Coco have stayed for short term and longer term. I would not trust anyone else to care for my furry family. Lisa and Charlotte are professional, caring and always put their guests first. Coco always enjoyed her stays and now Chester gets super excited when his ‘kennel bag’ goes in the car. I recommend Dukes. Barn to any dog or cat owner who may be anxious about leaving their pets whilst on holiday or away on business. A family run business and a caring family.

George & Albie

Extremely professional and friendly staff. They do their utmost to put you at ease, with leaving your dog with them, so you can relax whilst you’re away.

Mitzi

This is the first time using this Cattery for my 21 year old cat, on arrival everywhere looked clean and well organised, the staff are friendly, helpful and very experienced, I had no worries about leaving her here, my cat seemed to settle in well and seemed very happy on collection, she certainly didn't want to go in her carrier to come home, staff said how well she had settled and she was very capable at managing the different height levels of the enclosure, which adds lots of interest and exercise for your cat, they did say if she struggled they would give her some steps instead of the wall mounted ones, they weren't needed but just those little details put your mind at rest when leaving them. Thank you for taking such good care of her x

Edit...my cat has stayed here for a second time over the last 10 days, this time the cattery needed to administer medication for a heart murmur, CKD and Hyperthyroidism along side feeding a Raw CKD diet, there were no issues with this and all instructions were followed and l went well, on collection it was apparent that she had been well looked after, she had eaten very well during her stay and hadn't lost weight due to her ckd, in fact she put a little bit on which is great, again she didn't want to go in her carrier to come home so that tells me she was very happy there. I can't recommend this cattery highly enough, they are amazing and very experienced.
Thank you sooo much for looking after her so well.

Henry & Harry

Henry & Harry have stayed a couple of times and we wouldn't take them any where else now, they are dedicated to the animals at Dukes Barn Farm.

Reggie & Olive

Excellent friendly boarding kennels.
It's our families number 1 choice and has been for many years.

Bo, Bear & Skittles

Lisa and Charlotte are brilliant. They go above and beyond to make sure that your dogs/cats are well looked after whilst you're away. Thank you, as always

Dave, Max & Freddie

Fantastic kennels would not take my boys anywhere else, I have referred friends and family and they have said exactly the same, my boys get the best care when they stay.
Lisa, Charlotte and Alan are so friendly and you can tell that they are so passionate about the care they provide for their only animals and the guests that stay with them.

Teddy

We took Teddy to Dukes Barn Farm for the first time. They were recommended to us by a friend. The booking was straight forward and friendly. We left him for 13 days. I was anxious because he had only been in kennels once before and he's nearly 3. We had nothing to worry about, he was absolutely fine. I asked for a little update after a few days and they sent some photos and told me he was great with no problems. When we picked him up, he came bouncing out and looked marvellous. His tail wagging and fluffy coat. I would definitely recommend them to anyone and will definitely be using them again. Very reasonably priced too including food. The ladies are lovely, the kennels are spotless. 5* from us.

Mitten & Oreo

Best place ever to take your pet while you're away. Both Mitten and Oreo, who are my cats are always very well looked after by Charlotte and her mum.

Mia & Jake

Our dogs have been coming to Dukes Barn Farm for several years now, the care they receive is second to non and they always came back to us happy. I would recommend this kennel to anyone looking for top quality care for a very fair price.

Luna

I've never left my dog in kennels before and didn't really want to but we had a planned trip to Australia to see our daughter and would be away from 3 weeks so I booked her into Dukes when it was recommended by a friend. To say I was nervous was an understatement, but I didn't have to worry, Luna was fine. Im not saying she didn't miss us but she settled really well. They knew how anxious I was so sent me some pictures. I will definitely use this kennels again.
