Thumpers Retreat - in 2006 we were delighted to see the completion of our purpose built herbivore hotel.

As well a having all the mod cons like heating, insulation, lighting, air conditioning, music, etc. our kitchen area contains a vast array of fruit, vegetables and herbs that are dished up twice daily for all our furry guests.

Our large indoor run and aviary allows safe, warm fun in inclement weather. We have devised an area of split level runs, staircases and various hotel furniture ( i.e wooden sofas, tables, willow sun loungers, parasols, etc.) Every furry guest gets plenty of daily exercise, a varied fresh food menu that changes daily and lots of love and cuddles.

We are happy to undertake grooming, bathing and nail clipping too, just ask at the time of your booking.

As with our dogs we only take a set amount of rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, hamsters, gerbils, chinchillas, rats and ferrets at any one time. We do not feel we can offer them the time, attention and love otherwise. The idea of our hotel is to take less rather than more and ensure those that are in our care are very happy and healthy. The months of July and August are understandably very busy so may we suggest you book very early to avoid disappointment. Charges for our smaller guest range from £3 to £7 per 24 hours.

Weather permitting we also have an area set aside for outdoor grazing and sunbathing. There is a large grass lawn, fenced and protected from any uninvited intruders including those on the wing. (nearby we have a resident buzzard family)

Unfortunately due to the nature of our business we do not allow on the spot visits for security reasons and you will not have access to our facilities unless you have phoned prior to arriving or made a booking.

Please note that we DO NOT ALLOW anyone to touch, stroke or handle any of our animals at Thumpers Retreat unless you are: the owner or a trained employee of  The Pet Hotel.
