Babbington Hall Kennels & Cattery - Awsworth

We boarded our dog and cat here for a long weekend. They both came back happy and healthy. The team use Facebook to keep owners up to date with photos etc so they can enjoy being away without worrying how the pets are doing

They looked after our Holly fantastically, kept us informed about how holly settled in and ensured she received her eye treatment as prescribed.
Holly left a very happy girl so we will use babbington next year for sure.

Friendly staff, happy to help. We take our dog here for an hours running free off the lead. They have a fenced off run for dogs. It's the only time our dog gets a good run off the lead.

Lovely caring people, compassionately running the rescue centre and commercial kennels.

Also, there's a big, secure, well-fenced field available for off-lead exercising/training of dogs. It has bench seats and toys for the dogs and lots of things to smell and see and do, all safely. Currently £10/hour. Also available in half-hour slots, I believe. Call the kennels to book.

When first booking they, quite rightly, want to see your dog's vaccination record as the field is adjacent to both their dog rescue centre and commercial kennels.

There are also toilets (including clean disabled toilets - although there are steps up to the entrance so not completely wheelchair-friendly) and a shop selling hot drinks & snacks for the owners plus lots of treats for the dogs.

We just picked up our Labrador after his first stay and he was very happy and pretty chilled considering he’d never been left for a week before!! There was loads of toys, bedding, coats etc available and the setting of the kennels is so beautiful and rural. We would happily use this kennel again.

Only slight improvements we’d suggest - we got a photo on the Facebook page every other day which was lovely and reassuring, but we’d like a photo a day ideally and a bit more communication maybe a message saying how he’s been. When I phoned up to check in staff were happy to update me about what he’d been up to.
We would’ve liked to be offered a tour so we could’ve seen where he was sleeping and playing etc.
Also we didn’t realise you’re charged for a full day if you pick up after 10 - luckily we picked him up just before so charged a half day, but would’ve been good to have a heads up at check in

Other than this all good ! Thank you!

Highly Recommended - Would Not Take Our Dog Anywhere Else!
Our dog loves these kennels, the staff are friendly, professional and the kennels are really clean. He is always well looked after when he stays over.
Thanks so much for sending a picture of Banksy whilst I’m away, it made me so happy seeing him with a big smile on his face and enjoying his ball play in the field 🙂
Looking forward to picking him up tomorrow.
Thanks again,
Fiona & Daryl

Monty stayed here for a week in his first time away from us in kennels. Needless to say we were apprehensive but we were well informed what to expect.
We were able to follow Monty on his walks via Facebook photos and could call whenever we liked to check in on him.
We picked Monty up and he was absolutely fine and happy and definitely seemed well looked after, even having had a bath!
Would recommend here👍🏼
