We have just returned home from a fantastic week stay at Happy Hounds we stayed in Riley which was very clean and confortable and a very high standard and had everything you require for comfortable stay with a secure 6 foot fence around the pod so you could let your dogs out with no worries, we cannot praise the site enough. Alison and Harry wenRead moret above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable for us and our 2 dogs, it was my wifes birthday during our stay, Alison came to dog sit for a few hours whilst we went out to lunch, which was so nice off her. Also on site there are 2 secure exercising paddocks for the dogs, which was fantastic to let the dogs have a good run about in, there is also an indoor exercise area for nervous dogs. I cannot emphasis how much this site is set up for your dogs well being in mind, if you are looking for somewhere to stay with your dogs you would not find anywhere better. Hide
