Designed with your cat’s comfort and wellbeing in mind, each guest enjoys a clean, cosy and stress-free environment, giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away.

“Our kitties had a great time here. Wendy was lovely to interact and speak with and the cattery itself was great, I love how there are 3 floors and also a small caged outside area for them to get fresh air too We’ll come back here again in future too! Thank you”

Kenneth C

“Wonderful cattery and kennels. We left our 3 cats and 2 dogs there for 12 days. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Skyecroft. Lovely, friendly people who genuinely care about the animals they look after. We didn’t need to take any bedding as it’s all provided which is a bonus. 5 stars plus!!”

Jill C

“My cat stayed for 5 nights, he was well looked after. His individual pen was spacious & had access to his own outdoor area. I will definitely be using them again.”

Chris W

“The staff at skyecroft have been brilliant with us, including me adding on an extra night very last minute for the stay. We are always welcomed with a smile and they always go into detail about the animals without hesitation even at busier times. I couldn’t recommend a place more and the size of the cattery is brilliant as our cat is both indoor/outdoor and he wasn’t a bother. We have booked a further 2 weeks this year for the animals as they came back so well behaved and we feel comfortable enough to go away knowing they’re getting the best possible care they can!

Thankyou everyone at Skyecroft! X”
