Where a warm welcomeawaits your dog

Set in seven acres of private parkland, Karenswood offers kennel accommodation for all breeds of dog of every temperament.

Karenswood has a Grooming Parlour on site complete with a separate wet room. The salon is large, light and airy and offers a wide range of treatments for most coat types.

General obedience, domestic guard dog and civilian trials training may be taken as private lessons, or, where a more intensive course is required, we recommend training whilst boarding.

The Karenswood Equipment Workshop is known across the world for producing beautifully hand-made items from the finest materials. The range is both practical and durable.
