“Penylan country lodhe zero stars”

Had hired freedom field as i regularily did for my boys, they changed the rules half way through after getting to the gate and finding it locked once to saying i had to sign in, ok no problem i did this always picked up after my dogs rang through to reception if no bucket to pick poop up with, even found other peoples dog poop and sometimes picked that up too, yesterday i wasnt well ( havent been for a while) and was told by reception gate was open got there gate was closed so sent hubby round to reception then seen a member if staff other side of field so called hubby back thinking they were coming to unlock gate, no they were not, staff member looked at me with the excited dogs and walked away well this made me cross especially as my health is bad, i turn around and the owner is walking towards me with attitude " whats going on" all i said was " your staff told me gate was open and it isnt and then another member of staff came to other gate and stared at me and walked away said that wasnt good for business" he then proceeded ti shout and swear and said " you aint using the field get your f dogs back in your car and come get a refund" this left me shocked and upset, so i sent my husband in the shop to get the refund, who said to him " i hope you are happy now you have made my wife cry" the owner proceeded to shout at my husband and tried to push him out the shop shouting at him and saying get the f out of my shop, this is not proffessional at all i have used penylan for a few years for boarding, for grooming hiring the freedom field and have always been happy with their service, i wont EVER use penylan again to speak to a customer that way when all it needed was an apology and for his staff to have better communication between each other in the first place then it wouldnt have happened but the person who was unproffeasional and RUDE was the OWNER i will take my dogs and cats elsewhere and i warn others to be careful of the owner. Me nor my husband swore or shouted at him until he did at us then tempers flared , its made me feel very unwell as im in poor health since catching covid in march 2020 i did not need that type of treatment

“Zero stars”

★☆☆☆☆

written by ElliottTimmons on 11/01/2020

The attitude of the new management is shocking. Be aware that if you dare to disagree or challenge then you will be sorry. We’ve had our dog groomed there for 6 years and I dared to complain on the last visit as the cut wasn’t right. The new manager then called me and gave me a barrage of abuse, called me a liar and then advised me to go elsewhere. I definitely wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

“All changed since new management ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 11/01/2020

I posted a not recommended review on Facebook which the owner felt the need to get into a debate about. All this did was expose her lack of business acumen and complete lack of customer service which she obviously realised as she then deleted the review from Facebook. I am now thinking how many other negative reviews has she deleted.

“Dreadful place”

★☆☆☆☆

written by PriscillaWhitaker on 01/04/2016

This kennel I have used a few times. I would have considered myself a valued customer having 3 dogs. The first time everything was very smooth.....now the service is appalling and quite frankly I will be reporting them to the Council. In my opinion, based on my experiences there, they are not the caring kennels they would have you believe.
The last time they said they did not bathe my dogs as they were allergic!!!!!
I have now issued a County Court Summons against the Kennel for breach of contract.

Hello,
If you have issues you would like to discuss with us please give us a ring.
I'm afraid we don't recognise your name with three dogs as your not in our system under this name. We like to resolve issues with people wherever we can and we'd be more than happy to help.

(The owner and manager of the business are mature ladies and were happy to be called 'young girl's'.)

Many thanks
Penylan

We are disputing this County Court claim.
The facts behind this claim are that we would not board this ladies dog while it was in whelp, we do not accept pregnant bitches into our care for the welfare of the unborn puppies as pregnancy is a delicate and important time.
The dog was 4 weeks gone after a planned mating and this lady rang us up the day before they were due to come in boarding with us to ask if we would still take the female and we said no due to the fact that we never take Bitches in whelp.
This customer has used our kennels 13 times over the last couple of years with no complaints and yet when we show compassion for her female to stay with her while she is in whelp she is more interested in her holiday.

I am afraid this is not true. I have not used your kennel 13 times. Also I was rung by your kennel girl on 26th March to confirm the booking. I informed her of the up to date conditions of all dogs. No one said you did not take bitches in whelp. 99% of kennels do. To be told that I had no boarding accommodation on the night before they were due to go in was breach of contract. We could have made alternative arrangements if you had told us. At the time there was nothing on your website. To be prevented from going on holiday for someone who has an incurable illness was devastating. And financially we lost over £1000.

Also FYI there was only a remote possibility of her being in whelp. The fact that you are a kennel means you are in business largely because people have to go away for a variety of reasons and one of these is a holiday.

“My dog is never going back!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by notamoaner80 on 01/05/2014

I have left my dog there a few times. He was always happy to go back. He just recently spent a week there and came out a different dog. Usually very happy, bouncy and full of energy (like every 1 year old labrador) this time he came back skinny (after only one week!) very sad and scared. Also looks like he'd hurt his back somehow (pulling away when touched). Its been 3 days now and he is getting better (more lively, happier etc.) but can't help but think he was treated very badly. He is never going back.

Written on: 06/06/2013

Dear Philsuecool, We have a minimum charge on Friday and Saturday bookings during High Season to discourage weekenders so that the kennels are available for clients who wish to make longer bookings. We always inform customers of the minimum charge at the time of booking. As a result of this misunderstanding we will be happy to credit the difference towards any future booking you make with us.
Brian Meechan.
