Barndale is the best cattery! Our cat Jasper has been staying at Barndale for the last five years and he’s always so well looked after while we’re away. We love the fact he has plenty of space to roam, socialise with other cats if he wants, and just watch the farm animals all day long - it’s a retreat for cats! Thank you Janet and Colin.

We’ve boarded our cats three times in the past year, and they always seemed happy and well cared for when we collected them. I recommend Janet and Colin to any cat owners.

We have been using Barndale for over 4 years and we really appreciate knowing that Franklin Armstrong is in a secure, peaceful, rural environment, with the entertainment of the chickens to keep him amused. Janet and Colin are fantastic with him and he is always willing to hop in the crate to head off for a stay with them.

“My family and I have been using Barndale for the last five years. Our cats love staying there. They enjoy the fresh country air and eyeing the chickens walking past the cat enclosure. Our cats are always exceptionally well cared for and the charges are very reasonable”.

I have always felt happy leaving Leopold, my delightful tonkinese, at Barndale. Janet and Colin are very caring and Leopold is happy to be left with them. He has had the past 3 new years break with them as well as other times through the years. The cattery is a delightful place and the location convenient. I would not hesitate to recommend Barndale.

Our cat has been holidaying at Barndale for over 4 years and they are incredibly accommodating and helpful. It is a wonderful setting and she gets great care

Thanks for looking after Frankie for us again. While he is happy to be home, he appreciates his second home with you in the country where there is always interesting company and farm animals to admire from the enclosure. We were most thankful for the time you took to follow up with the vet when he was unwell when we dropped him off on our way to the airport during a previous stay. Exceptional service.

We have been going to Barndale cattery for about 5 years. The owners are just so welcoming & Janet was always on point with emails whenever I had questions. The cattery is rural & peaceful with lovely views. It also has great shade under large trees. We are very happy for our girls to continue with Barndale & we have every confidence that our 2 girls are being well looked after. Highly recommend.

Migsy our 13 yr.old Bengal has been a regular at Barndale over the last 5yrs. She always comes home happy and healthy. We have really appreciated the care and attention she has received from Janet and Colin during each stay. Barndale is truly a home away from home for your pet. Thank you Janet and Colin.

We have been using Barndale Boarding Cattery for over 10 yrs. Our cats love the freedom to move about and enjoy the sunshine and fresh country air. Janet and Colin do a great job to ensure that our pet is returned in tip top condition. We would highly recommend this country pet retreat it's a home away from home.

We have been taking our family Bengal cat, Sahara, to Barndale Boarding Cattery for over 7 years. Sahara loves the outdoor spaces to roam and to sit in the sun as well as the interaction with other cats! Janet and Colin are great hosts and are always welcoming and take great interest in our family pet. I know Sahara is looked after and happy so I have peace of mind when away on holiday. Barndale has become Sahara’s second home away from home!

"Paul and I have been leaving our cats at Barndale several times a year since 2013. We chose Barndale over other catteries because of the genuine care both Colin and Janet have for cats and because of their cattery’s unique large and stimulating covered outdoor plus indoor environments. Our pets always come back from the cattery happy, calm and healthy. Colin and Janet are always friendly and professional to deal with and easy to contact. Barndale is the best cattery we have ever used."

I have been using Barndale for many years and both Jake my 15 year old tabby, and I are very pleased with the service. Jake always comes back happy from his stays in such a lovely environment. Thank you Janet and Colin.
