After a bad boarding experience 3years ago, we didnt think we would be comfortable boarding again. After much research and visiting sites we were continually thinking of the kindness and compassion we recieved when 'interviewing' Barnstone. Their grounds are beautifully kept, and they have a real love for all the animals. On arrival Lillian and Murphy went straight to Marcel and happily trotted off the back with him (almost without a look back... very uusual). When we picked them up they were energectic, happy, healthy and freshly bathed, A hard tast in itself :)!. They were comfortale with the two male handlers who bought them out, so much so Lillian went to go back with one. We cannot thank Barnstone enough for the care they showed our furchildren, and the patience, respect and kindness they showed to us. We have already booked again for Christmas.
