Kennel Suites
Accommodation at Cottage Nook is ‘all suite’ with each spacious kennel coming with its own separate leisure and sleeping area, we are able to accommodate 2 or three from the same home to share the same space. Each of our dog guests enjoy a private, fully covered exercise area where they can exercise throughout the day and a separate quiet area where they can settle down and relax. Each suite has been designed to keep guests as comfortable and contented as possible. They benefit from a temperature controlled environment that ensures the suites are cosy in the winter and cool in the summer and all have an outdoor aspect. We have a number of suites that are equipped with ‘Pet Watch’, an online webcam viewing service, for owners who like to see how their pet is getting on (this feature is charged at a cost of £3.00 per day). Some pets are able to be home boarded giving them the ultimate home from home experience.
