Cottage Boarding Kennels and Cattery in short

Cottage Boarding Kennels and Cattery is a family business on Grange Lane in Telford, boarding dogs and cats for over two decades with its owners on site round the clock [1] [3]. Heated cat chalets, exercise paddocks and booking by phone, email and online form make it an easy all-rounder [3] [4]. For one boarder covering every pet, this review finds the experience the main draw.

Customer reviews are solid: the Google record stands at 4.5 from 113 reviews, the only public review source we hold [5]. The price list is specific, with a tax number published [2].

What counts against Cottage Boarding Kennels and Cattery is an ageing price list and missing cover detail: rates are marked correct from 2023 and no insurance detail is published [2] [3].
