My dog, Mr Bob is always excited when he stays at Deansford. He starts jumping around as soon as we pull up in the driveway! He gets so much fuss and love whilst there and always appears to be happy enough to be left. Thank you for being an amazing surrogate family xxx

Thank you so much Deansford

I can’t recommend Deansford highly enough, our dogs have been a few times over the last couple of years and I wouldn’t use anywhere else, when we get there our dogs get very excited, love seeing sally and the rest of the team and last time we took them they were even scratching at the door to try to get into the main block with the other staff and dogs and couldn’t wait to go! They have always been incredible with our dogs and it is always a pleasure to have a chat with the team when picking them up and dropping them off. Overall, I would very highly recommend!!!”

I was very nervous to leave my 2 in kennels but I have to say they have settled in a treat. They love the friendly welcome and walk in wagging tails. I especially like the way they offer lots of walks my springer especially enjoys it . I would highly recommend Deansford Kennels to any loving dog owner.

I used Deansford Kennels to look after my Samoyed dog, Eskie, for the first time and I was extremely pleased with the service. The staff were friendly and polite and my dog seemed content, relaxed and happy in the surroundings. Eskie also came back with a super clean and fresh smelling coat.

Recommended!

Thank you Deansford Kennels for looking after Lilly and especially Chanel. I was so happy to see Chanel come away from the Kennels with a shiny coat and a positive playful manner! Previously at another kennel she shut down and lost a lot of weight. It showed how much work and time you spent with her as she went to the girls for goodbye cuddles, she wouldn’t of done that before. Thank you!

My dogs have been having their holidays at Deansford for manyn many years, they have known my dogs from puppies to very old dogs, and they have always received the very best care. My dogs never go anywhere else. Thank you all at Deansford for all the care you give my dogs.

A great kennel, always friendly when you pick up and drop off, dogs are walked too which is great! My dog loves coming here. Would recommend – but I don’t want them getting too booked up 😉

Keep up the great work guys!

We have been using Deansford for our Beau for nearly two years now. All I can say is - the staff and the facilities are amazing! Beau is so happy to get out the car, on her last stay I had to drop the lead so she could run and lick the member of staff that greeted us, as Beau really wanted to get to her and have a cuddle. We highly recommend Deansford to family and friends!

We haven’t had our little dog very long and were very nervous about leaving him in kennels…..any kennels! However, we can honestly say that Deansford looked after him very well. He loved the staff and has settled back at home nicely. We have nothing to worry about……only that he may not want to come home next time! Will definitely use Deansford again.

Our dog and cats have just enjoyed a lovely break at Deansford while we moved house, all came home looking healthy and relaxed. Freckles our dog came home smelling lovely after being pampered. They are all back exploring their new home, but probably looking forward to their next trip to Deansford, thanks to all for looking after our pets and keeping them safe and well.

Our labrador Elsa stayed three times in 2016 and she was genuinely happy when I dropped her off the second and third time so she obviously enjoyed her first visit. The fact that she is walked 3 times a day is really important as she needs stimulating exercise. I can’t praise the staff enough and she will be staying again in 2017.

I’m Barry, a 3 year old boxer, and my dad has asked me to write a review on here. I have been coming for my holidays since I was a puppy when I came with my big sister who is sadly no longer with us.

I always have a good time, I have a room with a country view, room service is excellent, my meals are very well prepared and always on time. I enjoy being taken out for long walks several times a day and socialising with other guests. All the staff are very friendly and can’t do enough for me.

I would highly recommend Deansford Hotel to any of my canine friends who want a break away from home to recharge the batteries.

We were really worried about leaving our rescue in kennels as she can get really nervous and she has separation anxiety, but Deansford have been excellent at accommodating her.

After the first few visits she has now realised what a wonderful holiday she can have with her human and doggie friends at Deansford. The staff are so friendly and helpful and really make you feel at ease leaving part of your family with them, the new facilities are brilliant and I wouldn’t leave Milly anywhere else! Thank you!

I just love these kennels. I have used them for years and years with previous dogs we’ve had. Now we use them for our 3 Rottweilers. Our 1st rotti Bess (who has since crossed to Rainbow bridge) went there, followed a year later with Tay as a puppy now we have 2 more Rotties, Gabbee and Blaze. When we drop them off, the dogs are excited to be there and they staff are pleased to see themtoo. My dogs just love it there and as they are like my children, so don’t let just anybody have them. I know they will be not just taken care of but loved as well. I would recommend Deansford kennels to anybody looking for kennels.

Our dog was settled and happy at Deansford. The staff were friendly and appeared to know our dog very well, with good feedback at collection. It was Diesel’s first visit there but we will definitely use Deansford again. Really pleased with the set up.

Thank you to all at Deansford for looking after Max last week whilst we were away. He’s never been in kennels before and seemed to have had an amazing time. So glad he was well behaved for you he obviously seemed to enjoy himself. he’s definitely chilled. Thanks again

— Iona Brettle (Dec 15)

After a weeks holiday we have returned to 3 extremely happy pets . Jacob, Nala and Simba have had a great week with you and we thank you so much for the love and care given to each of them.

We can certainly go away again with the knowledge that they will also have a fabulous holiday at Hotel Deansford!!! We would definitely recommend you to all!! Thanks guys!! See you soon! Xx

I’ve been using Deansford Kennels for about 6/7 years, with my previous dog who was getting old. I wished I had found Deansford years ago. Would not go anywhere else with my little Bertie and would recommend them to anybody.

— Linda Holmes Green (Aug 15)

Theo was a rescue dog and has always been very unsure of people he doesn’t know and takes months to trust people. He was never happy going to kennels but wow he loves coming to Deansford and wags his tail and happily runs off. Proves to us how well loved and looked after he is when he goes :). Thank you Deansford Kennels. We will be back again soon.

When you have a dog you try to look for the best place for them to stop when you go away. Somewhere that’s like home and somewhere you know your dogs are going to be looked after well. I can only say we found Deansford Kennels to be that place. We have used them four years on the run and I can truly say both of our dogs have been looked after fantastically. I was a bit worried about putting our new dog in kennels but because our dogs can share a large kennel share, it made it a lot easier for him to settle. They get taken out on long walks, are fed properly and the staff are really helpful and passionate about the dogs. Thank so much for looking after our dogs and we will see you next year

I picked Lady and Louie up from Deansford kennels this morning. As always both were happy and healthy as usual.

I always feel confident that my crazy springers will be well cared for. Thanks to all
