"Hello My name is Jem and I live at Ash Farm with my friends Scout, Toby, Marco, Monty, and a new puppy, Dill, along with my humans Phil, Marion and Andrew. We live in a beautiful part of South Derbyshire surrounded by 700 acres of glorious countryside.

Ash Farm is a working Dairy Farm. There are also free range hens providing plenty of fresh eggs, so don't forget to take some home with you!

We offer 'First Class Doggy Accommodation', which me and my pals often try out! You have to check the standards you know! We can cater to any dogs individual requirements and will care for young and old. If you have a special diet, or want to bring your own food, then that's fine too. Medication can also be administered if required.

There's also a new purpose built cattery for those other creatures that humans seem to like; can't see the fuss myself! And our small friends are catered for in the recently opened Small Animal Centre.

We have full-time staff, and often have keen volunteers at weekends. The kennels, cattery and small animal centre are managed by Emma, who has just finished an animal behaviour course at University, and Natasha, who is currently undergoing a similar course at a University in Shropshire, and who has just finished a BTEC course in anaimal management at Broomfield College. I helped them as much as I could, but they wouldn't admit it. They are both hands-on kinda girls, who you will soon have wrapped around your paws as we do!

We believe in a Friendly, Fun, Family Environment where you have as good a holiday as your Humans Do. We also offer a 'Go Home' Wash and comb service at reasonable rates.

All guests are encouraged to make new friends whilst staying with us (not club 18 !!)

COME ALONG ANYTIME AND MEET US ALL AND SEE FOR YOURSELVES.

I Do hope to see you soon !"
