The best and safest place to leave your dogs, so well looked after by Gilly. 🐶💚 …
My dog had his first visit to cottage kennels he came home a happy dog. Definitely will be back. Thanks Gillian
Highly recommend Cottage Kennels, my dog was so happy there.. Fantastic service, thanks Gillian.
Best place to leave my dog when we go on holidays without worrying it about him also my dog is very happy to stay with Paul. I recommend it without any doubt.
Put it like this the dogs won't be going back
Brilliant as ever so blessed to have them.
Delighted with the care my dogs got
Gillian and Dave take such care of the pets they care for. what more could you ask for
👍 …
Highly recommended.
My girlfriends parents always bring their dogs here when they're away and they always say how nice and helpful the staff are. A great, well needed service
Very organised with friendly staff. Our dog had a great time. We even received video showing our dog playing with the other dogs.
Cant thank the staff enough for minding my two girls. From start to finish I never felt so at ease leaving them with people who care for them like they were their own. Had a walk around before they were dropped off and the place is in great condition, loads of space to play and run around. I even got a lovely video of them enjoying their walk. Thank you so much guys for everything.
Absolutely brilliant service. I was a little nervous as one of our fur baby’s is a little mental but Mark and his staff has so much experience with all kinds of dogs my nerves went away when I seen the handling and care . We have used doggie daycare and hotel and our dogs always come back so happy and fresh (they love it ) Brilliant place well deserved five stars with compliments. Thanks Guys 🙏
Highly recommend. Our dog is always waiting at the door for Mark to come and take him to day care. Great family run business.
Thank you to Mark and Team for taking great care of our dog Jack. He had a great time on his holidays, loved the video updates!! Excellent facilities and care. Would highly recommend
Absolutely great service from Mark and Rosaleen. Tiger was so happy there while we were on holiday in the area and it gave us freedom to visit some attractions knowing that he was happy and so well looked after. Their barknride service is an excellent innovatiion. Wound highly recommend and use them again
I've thought for a while about whether to post my review but I realised I had to because I based leaving my 3 babies here based on everyone else's 5 star rating and I need to give a reality check review. I rang 6 weeks before Easter to ensure I could get them in from Holy Thursday to Easter Saturday. I arranged that we could collect them between 5pm and 6pm as he closes at 6pm. Any other kennel we have left them into, when we arrived we would introduce the dogs and the kennel owner would greet each in turn, pet them and chat to them, however this man just called over his female employee and told her to put them in the kennel and we could say goodbye after sorting the paperwork. I asked that they be allowed a few minutes of a run around in the grass run area first as they had been in the car over 2hrs and would need to go to the toilet however he refused saying they needed to get used to the kennel for an hour first. He said we were collecting them Easter Monday and I said no its Saturday. He said he was closing a 12noon on Saturday due to his staff leaving at 12 for the bank holiday and he wouldn't be able to manage all the dogs on his own. I said we had arranged to collect them before 6pm. He said he would DO US A FAVOUR AND LET US COLLECT THEM AT 5PM FOR A EXTRA €35. I checked with him that he was going to charge us an extra night that they were not staying. He confirmed that, in other words he was charging us €35 euro extra for a couple of hours. We were appalled but because we were meeting other people I couldn't say immediately if we could collect them in the morning but was determined to try. I also told him that our dog had suffered heat stroke twice and as the weather was warm for the weekend I said he can't be left out longer than 30 mins and asked that he be left in in the cool inside day barn. He laughed and said it never it's that warm in Ireland. I was horrified and stated very clearly that I couldn't risk it happening again. We both felt he didn't have any interest for the dogs safety and no personal interest in them at all. We needed to put Eye drops in one of our dogs eyes before we left and he brought up out to where they were, the concrete floor was wet and they were very upset. He wouldn't take their beds that we had brought to give them a sense of familiarity and comfort. We hated leaving them but unfortunately had no choice. I rang twice Saturday morning to say we were collecting them at 11am and asked him to ring back so I would know he got the message. He didn't but their box of food was in the front yard when we arrived. He just brought them out to us but his manner and attitude showed he had zero interest in the dogs. We were so glad to get them out of there and take them with us. I definitely do not recommend this kennel. I checked his opening times on his page when we left and it still showed 6pm closing on Easter Saturday and showed times may vary for Easter Monday.
Mark and Rosaleen and Audrey... what can I say. They have cared for and continue to care for my dogs with the biggest hearts possible. They have gone over and above for me and my Oscar when he was sick. They minded him as if he was heir own. Oscar and Harley always jumped from my car with such excitement and Mark always facilitated the use of the ramp for my Osk. December took our Osk and I was treated with such care and such love by all the staff even my son who misses Osk everyday. Now... we have adopted another Teddy. And all the gang opened their hearts to the found and bould teddy and allow Harley the time to get used to having a new friend around. I've trusted the gang to take my babies and mind and love them from day care to kennels. My dogs always come home happy and always well cared for and loved. I couldn't possibly recommend Dysert for all your day care and boarding needs for your dogs.... i only wish I could go stay there too sometimes as I've said to Mark many times!!!! Keep up the amazing work you do.... you all have hearts of gold... love Catherine Harley Teddy and of course.... the gentle giant that was our Osk xxxxx
My Dog Kaiser Love's his play time @ Dysert Kennel's, the best of care and attention is always given to each and every dog, I'd highly reccomend Dysert Day Care for your furever friends.
Very clean and safe. Anytime I've left my dogs in George's care, they were given a five-star treatment. Highly recommended
Fantastic boarding kennels, we are really pleased. Both my dogs are in great form after their 3 night stay and best of all, they don’t stink. I found George very friendly and nice to deal with and my very anxious old dog took to him straight away, which is very unusual for her. Ballybeg boarding kennels will be my preferred choice from now on and I would highly recommend them.
Absolutely brilliant. I will most definitely be using the facilities again. George is very helpful and put me at ease straight away. I had never left our dog before so it really helped knowing she was in good hands
Our 2 dogs have been to Ballybeg twice now and they cone home happy and relaxed. The kennels are spotless, spacious and George,the owner is great with the dogs. We know our little guys are well looked after when they're in his care.
Lovely facilities with lots of space, dog was very happy mixing with others. Very clean and was put at ease about leaving dog. Would definitely avail of these kennels again.
Fantastic boarding home so clean and George makes it so easy for a first time visitor and Cooper had a great day. Cooper doesn't travel well in the car and George even took his blanket that he had been sick on to wash....where would you get it! Would highly recommend Ballybeg Boarding Kennels...Cooper going back for a sleepover ....the first of many 😀
Highly recommend! Just collected my dog after 3 days and he did not want to go home he enjoyed himself so much. You can see how much George loves what he does.
My boys absolutely love it here!! They love getting to play all day and always come home exhausted from it! It really shows how well they take care of my boys. If this place was closer to my house I’d board them a few days a week while I was at work just so they could play!
Placed our two much loved dogs into this kennels while away on holidays. Would highly recommend this family run business. Kennels first class and dogs happy out.
It is such a lovely space. The owner couldn't have been more caring of my dogs. A great doggy and owner experience 👏 …
