ABOUT

Badgerswood Kennels and Cattery has been a dream we have had for years and which has finally become a reality, it is set in 10 acres of old parkland in an area of tranquil beauty that we love. Surrounded by woodland and open fields it was once part of the old Winmarleigh Estate and is a very special place to live and work. Our kennels, cattery and small animal house have been built above standard recommendations to a high specification with no compromises made on quality, with the safety and wellbeing of our guests as the number one priority. Badgerswood is run by a dedicated and caring mother and daughter team who do not think of it as a job, but as a pleasure and privilege, to look after your pets for you when you are away.
