Lilac Cottage Kennels & Cattery in short

Lilac Cottage Kennels and Cattery boards dogs in sixteen kennels plus two lodge kennels on Cotwall Road at High Ercall, between Telford and Shrewsbury [1]. Dogs are exercised individually several times daily across a yard and a grass play area, and dogs from different families are never mixed [1]. For individual exercise, this review finds the routine the main draw.

Customer reviews are excellent: the Google record stands at 4.9 from 158 reviews, the only public review source we hold [2]. A directory page prices standard kennels with food, heating and insurance in the rate, from a three-year-old list [1].

What keeps Lilac Cottage Kennels and Cattery outside the ranked table is licence evidence: no licence statement could be checked on the business website, which returned a bot-check page, and directory wording does not meet this check [1] [3]. Our judgement is that it suits High Ercall-side owners comfortable confirming the licence direct first.
