Lilac Cottage Kennels & Cattery review

Reviews are excellent but the record is incomplete: unranked in our September round with a strong Google record, individual exercise across a yard and a grass play area, and dogs from different families never mixed ^{[1] [2]}. The site covers kennels plus cattery stays from High Ercall ^[1]. The licence could not be checked on its own pages. Confirm the licence number direct before you book anything.

A directory page describes the business as fully licensed, but the business website returned a bot-check page when opened, so no licence statement could be checked there ^[1]. The council confirms boarding dogs is licensable but publishes no holder register ^[3]. Ask the business for its licence number in writing.

A dated price list on the directory page gives dog rates from £15 per day with food, heating and insurance included, and notes prices were due to rise ^[1]. The list is old enough to treat as background only, not as a live quote. Ask for the current dated total before you agree anything.

Lilac Cottage Kennels and Cattery sits on Cotwall Road at High Ercall between Telford and Shrewsbury, serving Telford owners ^[1]. The phone number matches across the directory and Google listings ^{[1] [2]}. The site suits the High Ercall side of the borough best. Call with your dates and your dog's needs to check availability.

It is not in the ranked table: with no licence statement checkable on its own pages, it sits among the researched firms outside the ranking. Wychwood and Telford Home From Home are in the same position. The ranked firms all carry that statement on their own pages. Send the missing detail through Claim a listing for the next round.

Ring the number shared by the directory and Google listings, since the business website returns a bot-check page with no readable content ^{[1] [2]}. Set out the breed, age, temperament and dates, plus whether the cattery side is needed too. Ask for the full dated total showing what food, heating, exercise and any extras cover. Get the figure in writing before you agree anything.

The held Google record gives a headline of 4.9 from a base running into three figures, the deepest base of the three firms outside the table ^[2]. It is the only public review source held, so no second platform sits beside it. The directory page adds concrete kennel detail but no further customer comment ^[1]. Read the headline as broad approval of the routine.

The eight ranked firms all carry a licence statement on their own pages, which is the single difference the round names for the three firms outside. On customer evidence Lilac Cottage stands up well, with individual exercise and never-mixed dogs behind its headline ^[1]. What it cannot match is the ranked houses' open paperwork on licences and current prices. Use the table for side-by-side detail.
