What Our Clients Say

Wonderful Kennels & Cattery, lovely staff and super clean. My two cats have been staying with grange retreat for a couple of weeks now while we're in the process of moving house. Both seem very happy, being spoilt rotten and getting plenty of cuddles. I have even been receiving updates on how they're doing! I can't thank the staff enough for looking after them and continuing to help me when needed. Can't recommend them enough!
