Cottage Boarding Kennels and Cattery in short

Cottage Boarding Kennels and Cattery is a boarding kennels and cattery outside Telford, seventh in our pet sitters table. Its case is scale and history: boarding for over two decades is stated, with indoor and outdoor dog pens, heated cat chalets and exercise paddocks across broad grounds. The services page states a local authority licence with vaccination proof required before entry, and owners on site round the clock, with online booking offered.

Customers rate Cottage Boarding Kennels and Cattery at a mid-fours average on Google from well over a hundred reviews, by far the deepest record in the round. There is no second review source on record. This review reads that volume as the point: the only ratings bank here that has absorbed years of busy holiday seasons.

What counts against it is paperwork: the site publishes no prices, so the cost of a stay is not on the record, and no insurance detail is published. Our verdict: the choice for kennels and cattery stays with room to exercise, with prices and insurance detail unpublished.
