The Kennel Facilities
The HATCH has two purpose built Kennel blocks designed to the highest standards, each kennel has a snug indoor area, where the dogs have constant access to their bed, water and food (for those “Grazers” amongst our guests), and during daylight hours they also have the use of individual covered exterior “Yards” which look directly out onto the block’s large, fully fenced, grass exercise paddocks.

There are a variety of sizes of kennel available to match all breeds, along with two Extra Large kennels, provided for Giant breeds or family groups, so your “Pack” doesn’t have to be separated whilst on holiday. When the temperature falls - each kennel place has its own infra-red heat lamp to ensure individual comfort levels can be maintained, even in the coldest weather.
The Cattery Facilities
The HATCH has now 3 main Cattery Accommodation locations on site, namely "Reception" comprising of 4 x "Indoor" pens (Aimed at "House Cat" guests ) along with its "Garden Unit" Cattery located to the rear of the main reception block, (for the slightly more "Outdoor loving" feline customer). This unit is built on a wood decking area and consists of a further 5 Chalet style cattery places, each with easy access raised & fully insulated sleeping areas.
All these Chalets have washable vinyl flooring to the litter tray area and the individually roofed (but open fronted) exercise pens which look directly out onto the tree lined Garden, and the countryside beyond.

Also as part of the same building is the “Garden Suite” which is designed to allow your cat (or indeed cats as up to 3 or 4 animals can share the suite) to “Holiday” in a two room Feline Apartment, offering separate “Kitchen” and “Lounge” areas to ensure that a “Feeling” of home is maintained during your pets stay at The HATCH... obviously this is a limited facility and does usually require prior booking to ensure availability.
Fully insulated “Igloos” are provided for each cat and ensure that a cosy place to sleep or doze is always available, whilst all the Garden Unit Chalets (Inc. the Garden Suite) are provided with individual heating.

A recent development at The HATCH is "The Courtyard Cattery" comprising of an all new 5 Pen, Window fronted building facing out onto the Farm's busy Central Courtyard which provides interest and stimulation to its residents throughout the day, from their fully enclosed (but well ventilated) and insulated rasied vantage points in each pen.
