Reviewers consistently mention that the property is 'spotlessly clean', indicating a high level of cleanliness that contributes to the comfort and enjoyment of their stay.
The property is well-liked for its location, with easy access to dog walks, a local station, and nearby shops. However, one review mentioned a pub not being dog-friendly and another noted the need for caution due to fast-moving traffic on the road.

Facilities are highly regarded, with mentions of a comprehensive welcome pack, BBQ, toys, games, and a larger kitchen and washing area on site. The presence of extra amenities like USB chargers and emergency lighting during a power outage reflects well-maintained facilities.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is evident through the provision of pet toys, towels, treats, and other unexpected extras. While these gifts are warmly received, it's important to note that such personal touches, although likely, are not guaranteed for every stay.

The kennel was a perfect dog friendly stop off on our way to Mull. Heather was very approachable and I’m sure would have been on hand to help if needed.Would absolutely stay again and would definitely recommend.

Our stay at the Kennel was very enjoyable. Thank you for a relaxing stay. I’d recommend a map of the grounds for future guests to find the other amenities located in your grounds.
