Our Story

Belle & Sébastien enjoying their hay

Belle & Sebastien
our current mischief makers.

In 2015 we went away to Italy, but in the run up to the holiday we struggled to find suitable boarding for our two, very spoilt, house rabbits.
Our pets were used to living in the great indoors with Sky TV, central heating and all the familiar luxuries associated with living inside a home.  We finally found a lovely bunny hotel way over in Congleton where our bunnies ‘Sally & Roy’ stayed while we went away.  This bunny hotel was quite unique and it offered our pets exactly what we were looking for and our buns thoroughly enjoyed their home from home staycation.

Once we returned we put the plans in motion to open our own rabbit hotel, the summerhouse was ordered and it wasn’t long before the quiet corner of the garden became a luxury bunny holiday retreat.  I wanted something that was different and better to the rabbit boarding that was on offer locally - we were, and still are, the only rabbit boarding in Trafford that offers custom built, spacious indoor suites for our house rabbit guests - so there’s no hutches or Furplast cages.

We officially opened in March 2016 and since then we’ve been absolutely wowed by the demand for spacious, indoor boarding for rabbits.  Plus we only board rabbits so no guinea pigs, no cats or dogs, no ferrets or other predatory animals or birds. 
What you see in the photos below is exactly' where your pets will be staying!

We offer 3 separate, 18sq. ft. suites (6’x3ft)
with furnishings & non-slip vinyl flooring.

or two bonded rabbits

£15 a day


Bank Holidays +£7.50 on bookings for less than 5 days

One night bookings
If you need a last minute, one night booking please get in touch.
These bookings are subject to availability and can only be booked 10 days or less before your pets ‘sleepover’.
Full payment is required upfront - flexibility on drop-off and collection times at weekends.


£40

for a one night (2 day) sleepover


The higher rate is based on £20 per day due to the cleaning and disinfection of the suite and furnishings (including the time it takes for everything to be sterilised) after only one nights use,
plus good hay that is discarded when your pet checks out - otherwise one night bookings are not cost effective to our small business.

Be neutered or spayed

Have pet insurance
