"We have been extremely happy and satisfied with the service provided by Barnstone for our fur baby (Shonai). The team has been very kind and gave him constant care and attention throughout his stay. As it was a long stay, we were initially quite worried about how he would cope with the change in environment. We were delighted to see that he made friends. Later, when some of his friends left, he became a bit quiet and kept to himself, but the pet nannies gave him special care and extra attention during that time. He remained in good health throughout, which gives us great peace of mind. We are very happy overall and would recommend Barnstone to any pet parent without hesitation."

"Penny loves staying at Barnstone! She is always super excited when we arrive there for her stay and happily goes off with the caregiver who receives her. The feedback and photos we receive are amazing and she comes home super well fed and happy! I would highly recommend Barnstone to anyone! She had a birthday while she was there and they made a huge effort to ensure she had a super special day!"

"My British Blue boy has had 2 separate stays in the last 6 months. The first 4 days, the second 13 days. The team are wonderful, so caring. The pet nannies dote on my boy and he laps up the attention. Very, very happy and so is our boy 🙏🏻"

"Fully recommended for everyone who needs to have their pets being spoiled and loved.🥰 Thank you Beth and all the marvellous pet nannies at Barnstone Kennels. This is the second time this year that you guys have looked after my precious fur babies. Lucky and Bailey loved staying with you guys. They got plenty of play times and attention. Getting to see the fabulous action shots of our Lucky and Bailey is amazing. While we were away, looking at the pictures and knowing they were happy, made us feel good. You guys are our first and only choice for Lucky and Bailey. Thank you again for caring for my babies. Sharing their beautiful pictures that you send us."

"We recently left our pup at Barnstone for a few days and couldn’t be happier with the care she received. From the moment we arrived, Beth greeted us so warmly and instantly made us feel comfortable. Beth has such a reassuring, positive way about her, you can tell she genuinely loves the animals and she’s a huge part of why we keep coming back to Barnstone. It’s such a relief knowing our dog is in such caring and capable hands every time we go away. Highly recommend!"
