had my dogs stay at woodlands again,3 times this year,so nice to be able to go away with piece of mind knowing that our dogs enjoy there stay so much,as soon as we approach the woodlands our dogs know where they are and get so excited and to see the welcome they give the staff tells us everything we need to know.there face book page and updates are of course a big help while we are away,to get pictures of our dogs while out walking or playing really helps us to relax and enjoy ourselves.thank you guy

had my 2 dogs at the woodlands for 10 day stay,was very nervous about leaving them in kennels after couple bad experiences in 2 other kennels,after picking them up from previous kennels our dogs had suffered weight loss and seemed very timid and took several weeks to get back to there jolly selves.decided we would never go away again then our vet recommended the woodlands kennels,so glad he did.couldnt believe the difference when we picked them up,they where so happy to see us yet seemed reluctant to leave,they absolutely loved the staff and could tell they really enjoyed there stay.will deffinately be using the woodlands again and highly recommend them

Tried several boarding kennels over the years for my dog teddy,after collecting him from each kennels over years teddy was never happy and took several weeks to come round and forgive us then a friend and our vet recommended the woodlands kennels.we liked what we saw on viewing and explained to Eddie teddy had a few problems,mainly being very hyper,eddie recommended we let him try change his diet over the course of his staff which we agreed,the day came to drop him off for his 2 week stay,always upsetting leaving him,they kept us informed on his progress and the day came to collect him.well what a difference,a completely changed very happy dog.although teddy gave us such a welcome I'm sure had we walked away and left him there he would of been happy.been home with us now for 2 weeks and we are really happy with his progress.have booked him in again for January and this time we will be able to go away with piece of mind knowing he's in good hands.we highly recommend you give these kennels a try,thank you eddie leon and the staff

I bought Charlie my cocker from Eddie in August 2011 and would have no hesitation in recommending this kennels to anyone. Although still very young at purchase I could clearly see the love & affection given to my pup by Eddie, it was amusing to see that he had the run of the house and responded very positively to eddies command .Charlie is now 3yrs old and has a wonderful personality which I put down to eddies early efforts and which I have carried forward.Eddie was quick to point out the important requirements of the breed diet & exercise and how it can effect there mental and physical well being. I now believe I have a fantastic knowledge of my dog "testament to Eddie" and wouldn't swap him for all the money in the world. Never really got the chance to thank Eddie properly for holding Charlie for me whilst I travelled down from the midlands though I new Eddie had other interested parties but as he said he new I was fully committed via our telephone discussion. Charlie is an integral part of our family life now and we feel very Honoured and lucky to have him. Thanks Eddie

We bought a cocker spaniel from Eddie who is adorable. The only down side is we felt we were mislead with her age. We were told she was 11 weeks old when in fact when we checked paper work she was 15 weeks old. When i mailed Eddie to mention this and tell him that i wasn;t happy that i was mislead i was just told that what ever the age is on the paperwork is the correct age which i was a bit taken aback as when we met Eddie he was really nice but his mail back to me didn;t match up to the person we met when we bought the puppy. It doesn't really matter that she was 15 weeks old we would have had her still anyway but we feel that we were mislead. Always check paperwork before paying. After said and done she was still well looked after and i would still recommend people to buy from him just double check things before you pay.

we apologies if this person felt they had been mislead, I can assure them that it was nothing more than a genuine mistake. When we advertise our puppies they are never younger than 8 weeks, and the age is increased in the advertisement automatically as the weeks go on, not by us but by the site we use, We can all make mistakes from time to time, and unfortunately it is not allways easy to remember the exsact dates of all our puppies. Once again please accept our apology, We are happy you are pleased with the puppy anyway, and may you all have many happy years together.

Don't buy any puppies from these people
All I will say is check to see where your puppy has really come from

hi. i do apologise for takeing so long to see this review.to explain,, he dose deal with the puppies and i am primarily involved in boarding and administration, so would have been myself who answered your email, i am sorry if it seemed a little dry,, but assure you it wasnt meant that way. if he was not available for me to ask about it at the time, then i would come to the conclusion that he had made an honest mistake, but there is no argueing with the paperwork. I am pleased you are ultimately happy with your pet,and once again apologise for any missunderstanding.
Regards Leon.

Once again our two dogs have been to Woodlands, they were picked up on time, received exceptional care and have a fantastic time! They have been for the last two years numerous times a year, these kennels are home from home for our two dogs. They love it there, the staff are brilliant, nothing is too much trouble and we can holiday ourselves knowing our dogs are on holiday too! We have used a few kennels in the past and we have to say Woodlands are the best and the happiest place for our dogs. Louie and Maisie want to say a big thank you! especially to Eddie and Leon who take brilliant care of these guys.

We have just used the woodlands for the first time, and feel with all the negativity in the world, its good to have something nice to say, all people seem to do these days is complain about everything. We will most deffinately be useing this kennels again, as the standard of care in our opinion is second to none.We picked our staffie Rosie up, and she was as happy as ever, and had obviously formed a fondness for the staff and owners, she is not the easiest of pets,can be very bousterous, but also very affectionate, anyway the fact that we will never bother to look elsewhere says it all i think.Thanks again to The Woodlands Kennels and all staff and owners.

I also bought a puppy from this kennels 6 months ago. She is a golden cocker spaniel and is the best behaved dog I have ever owned. She has had no health problems apart from a severe food allergy caused by the food recommended by my vet. Since changing her diet she is maturing into a happy mischievous puppy who is loved by the whole family. I would not hesitate to recommend the kennels to friends. A friend of mine bought a cocker spaniel at the same time from a registered breeder and has had endless problems with his dog.

A severe food allergy is down to genetic problems - due to the breeding not the food
Written on: 14/12/2013
Absolute rubbish, any dog can have an allergy to a particular food or food colouring in the same way as a human being.and is no necessarily genetic,
Written on: 18/04/2018
Well said
He has a answer for everything
Same problem but my puppy had hip dysplasia in both of his hips he was only a baby
Genetic pass down from mother over breeding
So Don't buy from them

Don't speak to soon
I would really check your dog pedigree and I mean check it
You might be in for a horrible response!
Get your dogs hips checked

Having read some of the other reviews on here, I felt compelled to leave a honest and truthful review, unlike some of the ones I read!!! We recently purchased a very healthy and happy British Bulldog pup and have been extremely pleased with the whole service we received from the owners. They were both very helpful and gave us all the advice we needed to take care of our new addition. The kennels were very clean and the conditions were really pleasant. The puppies all seemed to be well cared for and happy. Definitely NOT a puppy farm as some of the other reviews suggest. I would recommend anyone who wants to buy a puppy to go there and see for yourselves.

We bought our new bull dog zoose from Woodlands Kennels around 3 weeks ago and he is coming on just fine, hes a loving little character. I would just like to say a big thank you to the gentleman [name removed] form the Kennels who gave us a fantastic service, We had previously visited many other kennels and did not get the excellent service we got from [name removed]. He was helpful he showed us many healthy well presented and looked after puppies. He gave us all the advise we needed to look after Zoose and has been there since on the phone for further helpful advise. Overall I would recommend Woodland Kennels to anyone wanting a health dog they are welcoming, professional and extremely helpful more than you could ask for. So thank you
