Just to say thank you so much for having Tess over the past few days. Graham dropped her off this morning and she seemed so cheeky, feisty, happy, plump and in such good condition generally that we can tell that she has been spoilt rotten whilst she has been with you! I can't thank you enough and we definitely would not send her anywhere else now as long as you are happy to have her. I can only hope that she behaved herself whilst she was with you and that she and her new boyfriend Teddy were not too naughty for you!
Thanks again Abi. I can't tell you how grateful we are for giving her such a lovely time in August when we go on our European city break.

AMAZING! I could not be happier with the service Abi has provided for my dogs ( Rambo & Mavis ). Me & my family have not had a holiday abroad for getting on 5 years having never found a place suitable to look after our dogs, and putting them in kennels is not an option as they are both rescues and we wouldn't ever put them back in to kennels for a holiday so holidays was never an option The week commencing dropping them off at Oaksedge I wasn't sleeping I was so worried as this was the first time in 5 years I'd even spent 1 night away from them never mind two weeks. But as soon as I left them I felt at ease, Abi couldn't of done any more for them, nothing was to much of an ask. I'm so happy we was able to enjoy a family holiday knowing our dogs was as looked after there as they are at home, I'd never take them anywhere else other then Abi, she put my mind at rest everyday. I didn't worry once because I knew they was in very safe hands. Lots of updates and pictures through out which was fantastic.
I dare say you wouldn't get a better place for your doggys to stay then here, it's like there own little holiday.
For the first 2 minutes of us arriving to collect them I didn't think they remembered us they was thinking shall I go to Abi for a walk or go home with my mum and dad I don't think they was in much of a rush to get home.
Thank you very much Abi! I couldn't be more grateful x

My 2 doggies Oslo and Buddy stayed with Abi for 3 weeks while we went on holiday, I honestly can't thank her enough! We didn't once worry about them as we knew they were having a holiday to! We were frightened they may not want to come home . Abi is so sweet and adores animals, and the animals adore her. I wouldn't recommend any other place to anyone and I'm sure my doggies can't wait for there next holiday! Thank you again Abi!!! Xxxxxx

I felt Winnie was is excellent hands whilst I was away and I could relax knowing she was happy and that she was having fun too.
Thank you Abi and the team, love Lucy and Winnie xx

This place is amazing. We haven’t had a holiday since we got our dog. We looked at many kennels before we found Abi. The accommodation is outstanding, even nicer than where my dog currently stays at our own home
Abi is one in a million and goes that extra mile to look after your fur babies. They are treated like members of their family whilst they are there. Abi constantly updates you on how they are doing and I was actually worried that my dog might not want to come home he was having so much fun. It’s a hidden gem in the Peak District. Recommend 100% xx

We searched online to find a nice hotel for our dog and all I can say is the all the time we spent searching was worth it.
The staff, hotel and the service you receive is amazing! I had piece of mind dropping my dog off knowing he was in good hands. I loved getting photo updates on him whilst he was there!
Thank you so so much! We will definitely be using you again xx

Thank you again, so very much for having Edison to stay and for giving him such a loving and fun place to be while we are away. Oaksedge Farm is amazing. I noticed that Edison has come back smelling of the most lovely shampoo, I can only imagine that you gave him a full pampering session ahead of coming home, thanks again.

We just wanted to say a big thank you for treating us so nicely when we cam for the day on 18th March. We were a little nervous at first when we saw how posh our room was but you instantly put us at ease. We loved playing in the garden and you didn't even mind when I accidentally brought a little noggin of poopy in on my bottom. We've asked our Mum if we can stay there again when in Derbyshire and she has said yes - yippee!
Lots of licks.

I wouldn't mind staying!!!
I have taken my cocker spaniel Mylo on many occasions to Abi both for day crèche and for extended overnight holidays. I have never used a kennel and always relied on friends or family or cancelled plans as could not bear to see him in outside kennels. One time I had no choice and searched for home boarding and found Abi . I went for a pre visit to check it out and genuinely the place is unbelievable! The dogs bedrooms are better than my own, tv on the wall and even chandeliers!! There's every choice that your dog may be used to eg sofa, dog bed, blanket even human bed!!! And also have great outside, safe and enclosed running around areas. Just brilliant. I know dogs can't talk to give their own review, but when I pull up Oaksedge Farm Mylo jumps out and runs to the door wagging his tail!!! and then pulls to go to the other rooms to see which mates might be there today! So knowing he is happy to be there makes me happy and can relax knowing he's in safe hands! Well recommended!

Oz, my whippet, has stayed with Abi several times now and I can't recommend Abi highly enough! Abi has thought of everything and is so genuine with her love of dogs.
When Oz comes home we always pick up a chilled out and well behaved whippet! This is in total contrast to the time he spent 2 days at a recommended kennels, it took him days to get back to normal and I would sooner stay home if I can't book him in with Abi.
While we enjoy our holidays, I know Oz is thouroughly enjoying his and I even think he would be happy to stay much longer!

words can't express how thankful I am that I found you when I needed somewhere for my dog Ebony to go whilst I was away in hospital. Staying with you meant she was cared for rather than just housed and this made all the difference to me. Its lovely to have her home today without any behavioural problems that you sometimes hear about when a dog has been in kennels; she is relaxed and happy (and smells gorgeous!) Thank you, thank you, thank you.

WAGGY TAILS FOR VERY HAPPY DOGS
I have used Abi for the last 3 years and I am extremely happy with the service.
I have 2 Border Collies and was quite anxious leaving the dogs for the first time but needn't have worried. Both dogs love to stay with Abi which allows me to enjoy my break as well.
One of my dogs is extremely nervous of people and unfortunately will nip but Abi has taken her time to get to know him so that now she is his best friend. I don't tend to leave this dog with anyone due to the problem but I trust Abi completely with him. Her knowledge and skills with handling difficult dogs is very good.
As Oaksedge Farm only acccepts a few dogs at a time they have loads of attention and are looked after to the highest of standards. Both dogs come home exhausted with all the walks they are given.
I would have no problems with recommending Abi to other dog owners.

LOVELY HOME FROM HOME FOR MY DOGGIES
We have two cocker spaniels and had never before used a boarding kennels and were nervous of doing so. Jack and Pluto started going to Abbi's to be groomed and we were immediately impressed by how fantastic her facilities are.
Abbi has made the "dog hotel" extremely comfortable for the doggies - they have cushions and beds to sit on and there is even a tv! We had no hesitation in leaving Jack and Pluto with Abbi over night.
They are kept together in a lovely room and I think even go in the house sometimes! I couldn't ask for anything more for the doggies!

PUGSLY'S SEAL OF APPROVAL
We went to see several other kennels and tbh would never leave him with anyone else now!
This was the first time we'd left of little boy, he loved his stay and the videos and pictures that we were sent during our holiday set our mind at rest.
And to call Oaksedge Farm a kennel feels the wrong word, as this place is nothing like what the word kennel conjures up.
He loved it all the freedom and walks everything (just look at the videos, does that look like a sad Pug?)

I wouldnt leave my dog anywhere else!
24th May 2013
I love my dog but he is not always welcome to human events such as weddings, funerals, bar mitzphas and holidays. So, what is a dog lover to do?
Wilfred, my dog, a two year old black staffie, absolutely LOVES going to Abi's! He gets to play with new friends and I know that he is safe and happy. Evidence of this is the amount of sleeping he does on the way home when we have fetched him!
I agonised over the dog kennel decision making process, as I didnt want him to be locked into a concrete run for 22 hours a day...barking...in a row of other barking dogs behind wire fences. I tried this for one night and although the kennels were run by 'dog people', he still came home with what I perceived as a 'blog on' and I felt terrible.
Waggytails was recommended to me by a friend and it is a perfect place for my pooch. He gets to run about, outside, playing with other dogs as well as going on walks in the countryside.
I have written this testimonial because people have asked me where I could recommend. It is fair to say that Oaksedge Farm is not as conveniently located as other boarding kennels (We live in NE Derbyshire), nor is it the cheapest. BUT, I would have paid double and waled 500 miles for the peace of mind I have knowing that my dog is too busy to miss me because he is having such a good time. Priceless.

I agonised over the dog kennel decision making process, as I didnt want him to be locked into a concrete run for 22 hours a day...barking...in a row of other barking dogs behind wire fences. I tried this for one night and although the kennels were run by 'dog people', he still came home with what I perceived as a 'blog on' and I felt terrible.
Waggytails was recommended to me by a friend and it is a perfect place for my pooch. He gets to run about, outside, playing with other dogs as well as going on walks in the countryside.
I have written this testimonial because people have asked me where I could recommend. It is fair to say that Oaksedge Farm is not as conveniently located as other boarding kennels (We live in NE Derbyshire), nor is it the cheapest. BUT, I would have paid double and waled 500 miles for the peace of mind I have knowing that my dog is too busy to miss me because he is having such a good time. Priceless.

We've never put one of our dogs in kennels before, so were a little apprehensive.
Our pre-boarding visit gave us the right impression, so we booked Moss in.
He's not an 'easy' dog being a very active, tri-colour boarder Collie, but
it was obvious when we got back that Abbi had not just 'coped' but had spent lots
of time with him, and got know him well.
So we got back to a very happy, calm dog who's now looking forward to his next
holiday with his new found friend Abbi.

EXCELLENT FACILITIES
18th Mar 2013
If you want to go away on holiday with peace of mind that your dog will be happy, safe and secure - do not hesitate to book Oaksedge Farm. It has excellent facilities - very home from home and has a good secure and safe area for dogs to be outside in the day time either playing or relaxing. Abi (the owner) really cares and looks after the dogs well. Our dog enjoyed it there so much that when we collected him, he wasn't bothered about coming home and would have happily stayed with Abi!!! We are using Abi again this year when we go on holiday and have booked a longer holiday this time because we know our dog will be very happy there and well cared for.

In safe hands!
31st Mar 2011
My two dogs Jess and Cara stayed with Abi for two weeks over the Christmas period. We have had a few bad experiences with local (normal) kennels in the past so we were determined that this time it would be different. Jess is a hyper, bossy, collie girl and not easy work by anyones standards,Cara is a typical easy going greedy lab. As a dog walker and pet sitter myself I admit to being very fussy and a little bit paranoid about where I leave my girls! Anyway after meeting Abi and having a look around her home we were very impressed and reassured. Abi emailed us whilst we were away so that we knew they had settled in ok. On our return it was obvious to me that the girls were fit and healthy and had a great time! we have booked them in again for a week in june, i think that say's it all!

Highly Recommended
1st Mar 2011
Highly Recommended.I have a very active young spaniel cross, who absolutely loves going to stay at Abi's! It is not at all like a traditional kennels, and is far more like a 5* hotel for dogs. Abi is extremely thoughtful, knowledgable, and, is careful to get to thoroughly know the dogs in her care, which is immensley reassuring. She ensures that the dogs are exercised appropriately, according to their needs, and Henry is indeed waggytailed on collection! He is also beautifully clean, and groomed! I can not recommend Abi highly enough.

28th Feb 2011
I was recommended to Oaksedge Farm and have been eternally grateful. Abby loves dogs and dogs love her. Ruby my Irish Setter loves going to her 'home from home', and bounds in to see who else is going to be there for her to play with. The dogs live in Abbys house, go out on lovely long walks with her, and even eat home made doggy biscuits! She is flexible and obliging, and as much as I could go on waxing lyrical about this very special 'doggy hotel', I really don't want too many people to discover it or Ruby might not be able to get in!

Great Dog Boarding
24th Feb 2011
My beagle Jack has stayed with Abi several times and I am very pleased with the service. Abi has always been friendly, helpful and provides a professional service. She obviously takes great care of the dogs that stay there - Jack has been happy whenever I've collected him and is excited to be there when I've dropped him off. I'd certainly recommmend Waggytails: much better than kennels at a reasonable cost!

Wilf has stayed with Abi now twice and he loves the freedom of not being in separate cages or pens and the continuous all day playing that he can do with the other dogs. He always seems happy when we drop him off and pick him up, and it feels like when we go on holiday, so does Wilf.

Excellent Holiday Care
15th Feb 2011
This was the second visit for my much loved Dachshund,Dusty. He was excited from the moment he knew where he was. Abi takes such personal care of each dog where they can enjoy long leisurely walks in the gorgeous surrounding countryside. Great nutritious food is provided;particularly the home made dog biscuits and best of all Abi provides the home comforts our loved one's are used to; being free to sit in front of the fire and sleep upstairs on sumptious cushions. I never feel that Dusty is at a "Kennel", he's also not being visited for an hour or so a day. This is 24 hour comlete love and attention in a home. In addition, I had Dusty groomed, the first professional strip for him. Abi did an exceptional job, he looks like a show dog now! Many thanks again, Dusty will be visiting again in the near future.

Kind and Considerate
16th Nov 2010
My beagle Harvey stayed with Abi for 5 nights on 12/11/10 and he had a wonderful time, he came home looking happy and smelling wonderful as for a small fee Abi will give the dogs a full groom. I made use of the pet taxi service available and this was very convenient. Throughout Harvey's stay Abi kindly sent me a few texts to let me know Harvey was fine and enjoying himself, this reassured me greatly. harvey is already booked in for his next stay! It was such a relief as previously he stayed at Treetops Kennels nr Little Eaton and he came back totally stressed and with wounds on his face and I felt so upset! It's good that Oaksedge only has a very small group of dogs at 1 time. Harvey looked very happy and calm and obviously loved Abi so he has decided for me! I can recommend Abi for a good considerate care of your pet!

Re-booked immediately
3rd Mar 2010
Re-booked immediately Abby is very approachable and great with the dogs. By taking a maximum of 4 dogs, every dog gets personal attention and plenty of exercise. The separate lodge is perfect for the less sociable dogs and had all the comforts - and more! - of home. Our extremely excitable and energetic black lab/collie X had a fantastic time and went on lots of lovely walks, despite the arctic conditions, and was thoroughly spoiled whilst we were away. We even received an email update with some pictures and a video clip of him enjoying himself, which was very reassuring. Buddy had such a good time, we weren't completely sure he'd want to come home with us! The rates are very reasonable, especially when you think of it more as a pet holiday than boarding. You can even get your dog pampered whilst there making use of the grooming options - it really is more like a luxury spa accommodation for dogs haha!! We've never entertained the idea of 'regular' boarding kennels and are thrilled to have found Abi. We rebooked for Buddy's next holiday whilst collecting him from his first stay as we didn't want to miss out. You can't get a better recommendation than that can you really?

Perfect care in every way
18th Feb 2010
We have taken our Westie, Angus to Abi for many years - he is now a happy and healthy 16 year old! When he was young, a family member always looked after him but when she became ill and we had a holiday booked we were very concerned because we had never left him in a dog boarding set up before. We needn't have had any qualms because Abi took him in and looked after him with so much love and care that he has been a very regular visitor to her ever since. Abi has the dogs in her home and they play with her own dog and become just part of the family whilst there. She has tremendous empathy with dogs and seems to instinctively know what they need and how to get the best from them. Angus runs up the path to her home and never looks back which means we can go away knowing that he is being looked after just as well as we do at home. We wouldn't trust anyone else with him in the same way and even now when she has moved to Derbyshire wouldn't contemplate not driving up and leaving him in Abi's capable care. She has been a lifeline for us and Angus. Also he always looks extremely smart and smells delicious when we collect him. She even sends him a birthday card and keeps us up to date with pictures of him enjoying his stay. Perfect care!!!!

Complete Peace of Mind
18th Feb 2010
Millie, Tess and KT (2 Cocker Spaniels and a Japanese Chin) have stayed with Abi regularly for the past 10 years. They have always been happy, healthy dogs going and returning from their stay. At Abi's their welfare is paramount; quality food, quality exercise and fun-time, and a quality home with love and companionship. The regime is such that everywhere and everything is kept clean. My dogs were always left with family until, on recommendation, they went to Abi. I would not be able to leave my dogs if I didn't have complete peace of mind as to their welfare and with Oaksedge I do.

Better than a Human Hotel!!
9th Feb 2010
A huge thank you to Abi for looking after our 6 month old Beagle pup, Barney. I could not recommend Oaksedge more highly. Due to a family bereavement, we needed to attend a funeral in Kent. After searching for somewhere to leave Barney in the Derbyshire area, where we live, we came across Abi. The fact that Barney would be living in the house, and that Abi only boards a maximum of four dogs was perfect. Barney loved playing with the other dogs, and his walks, and especially enjoyed the homemade dog biscuits that Abi made....must get the recipe!!! Once again, thank you Abi, for making a difficult time, easier, by knowing that Barney was going to be well looked after.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED/DEFINATELY USE AGAIN
9th Feb 2010
Having Monty a King Charles Cavalier who thrives on love & affection it was imperative for him to go on his holiday to someone who cares. Oaksedge was recommended to us some 6 years ago as a 'Doggy Hotel & Groomer'. Abi obviously cares so much about the dogs she looks after. Monty always went into the house wagging his tail, didn't seem to want to come home when we collected him and was always imacculatly groomed. Although Derbyshire is too far to take Monty for grooming we will definately make the long trip to take him on his holiday to Oaksedge as we know he couldn't be in any better care.

We have used Oaksedge as a second home for Bertie, our mad labradoodle, for 3 years and he was always so eager to get into the house, usually demolishing everything in his way until he found all his doggy friends. With lots of play and attention we were extremely happy to leave Bertie with Abi several days a week when work commitments demanded and he also had many sleepovers and holidays there. When Abi moved from Northamptonshire to Derbyshire a large hole in our doggy arrangements occured as so far we have found nowhere locally that we are happy to leave Bertie and when we go on holidays we will be taking Bertie up to Derbyshire for his holidays! We, and Bertie, cannot recommend Abi highly enough and look forward to visiting again soon.

I have two dogs that I have left in Abi's care for the last 5 years when Abi was leaving in Northamptonshire. The dogs were always happy to see her and always enjoyed they stay there. The accommodation was always immaculate and the dogs were were washed and groomed before coming home. It was nice for us to leave them in a house with company rather than alone in an outdoor kennel. Abi took great care of them and I would highly recommend her to everyone. The dogs enjoyed the long walks and the treats they brought home.

Having never owned a dog before we acquired our gorgoeus Freddie (Lhasapoo), the responsibilities of doggy care was totally alien to us. Not quite sure what to do for the best on the days we couldn't get home we were recommended Abi at . At the age of 16 weeks Freddie and then a year later Barnie became regulars at Abi's for day care once twice a week and then to board when we went away. The environment and care that Abi creates is that of total home from home, warm cosy beds, long walks, lots of love and cuddles and other doggy's to play with. We went away completely happy and safe in the knowledge that the love care and attention they receive is second to none, she became their second "mum", so much so I often wondered if they ever really wanted to come home! Since Abi moved to Derbyshire we think nothing of the 1.5 hour commute to drop them off for their holiday, as I would not entertain taking them anywhere else!

Wonderful!

I have been lucky enough to have had Abi to look after my two whippets over several years. Abi is 100% committed to the dogs she cares for and I trust her completely. She has excellent knowledge regarding dog care and she has a great friendly personality and obviously LOVES dogs! My two dogs are very sensitive and I am very particular about who I can leave them with but have always enjoyed their stays and I know that they will get loads of attention. They have comfort, activities, exercise and company and the business is very professional. I have always been impressed by the personal touches Abi brings to her business and would not hesitate to recommend her to potential new clients.

Exemplary Dog Boarding
9th Feb 2010
We have used Abi's boarding and Grooming service regularly (sometimes weekly) for the last 7 years for our two small dogs. Abi the owner is totally committed to the welfare and wellbeing of all dogs in her care. Whenever we have left our dogs with Abi for boarding and/or grooming we have 100% confidence that our dogs will be properly provided for in a loving and kind environment. Our dogs return home perfectly happy and content. It really is 'home from home' for them. Abi is totally committed to caring for our dogs as if they were her own. What makes her unique is that every year we receive a 'holiday snap' photo of our dogs while they're with her. Our dogs also receive through the post a birthday card (sweet) and when we collect our dogs, we always get sent home with a lovely little bag of some 'home made' doggy treats! which they love! We cannot recommend Abi's services strongly enough, and wish to assure anyone considering using Abi that you will not be disappointed.
