I'm Allie and I am a Auxhillary Veterinary Nurse. I have changed career paths totally over the years as I’m also a qualified preschool practitioners.
I am now focused on being a mum.
We run our own Building & Maintenance business as well as (with the help of our 2 children )our small animal boarding business where we provide your much loved pets with a very special holiday 😃
We promise to care of your family members as best as we can and will provide them with much love, warmth and attention while you are away. Our hotel has its own entrance which is clearly signed from the outside, please see photos!!
We run a separate day care facility, a full grooming service which can get very busy which is fun. We also bake our own Blossom tree cookies, which are suitable for all small animals, made from our homegrown herbs. Please ask for details for prices and options, and our Easter and Christmas pop up shop.
We are really proud of our “Boarding hotel”. Our hotel, is adjoined to our home, and is fully heated, ventilated and you wont find any chicken wire or hutches anywhere!
We have a range of enclosures, beautifully built with clear fronts and windows. All are safe and secure and light and airy. Our holiday homes range from large, medium and small. We have separate Syrian hamsters, rat, and chinchilla homes to stay in, but if you would prefer to bring their own that's absolutely fine too.
Our accommodation for bearded dragons and geckos are fully enclosed enclosures. We provide heating, UV and heat, along with plenty of hideouts and a sunbathing spot!
We are very lucky to be able to offer a purpose built out door area, with artificial grass and secured with a enclosure. There we grow our own herbs, all ready to be made into edible treats which we bake ourselves for everyone. These can be purchased separately. Please ask for details. Outside we have grassy tunnels, see-saws and more for your VIPs to explore.
All holiday homes are steam cleaned regularly after each guest has left us, and daily in the summer months. Our enclosures are cleaned out thoroughly using a pet safe detergent spray. We lay fresh newspaper followed by sawdust then Timothy hay. Our outside area is hosed down daily. We keep all our guests separated from each other to avoid any risk of infection or ill health. All our holiday guests have equal time shared and we really take pride in being able to share our love of animals. Should we have any concerns about your small friends health during their stay with us, we will contact your as soon as we can; and or contact your emergency contact.

Allie & Family
I was looking for a friendly boarding place for my house rabbits where they weren't kept in hutches and I came across Allie! She is so lovely and makes them feel like they're part of the family. They have there own little indoor enclosure and get to go outside and play in the sun. They have stayed three times now and they love their little holidays! I can't recommend Blossom Tree enough as I can go away knowing they are in safe hands and are well looked after!
From Shauna on
I was picking up a hamster on behalf of someone when I met this lovely family. Hammy had been cleaned out beautifully and had been well cared for. It was clear the whole family loved animals. I was helped back to the car with the large cagea cheerful smile. Very professional service thank you.
From Sue on
Harry my hamster really enjoyed his holiday with Allie. He got to play with so many toys, and was thoroughly spoiled rotten! He can't wait to go back again for his next holiday! Thank you so much Allie, it's really good to know that my special little man was loved, pampered and really well cared for while I was away. A huge thank you to you and your family!
