My cats have had two stays at Rosewood. The enclosures are nice and large, and the caring staff will personalise them for each cat on request.

Our two cats came home happy and healthy following their first vacation at Rosewood Farm Cattery.  The facilities were clean and spacious and the check-in and out was easy.  We would definitely have them stay there again.

Rosewood Farm staff were very accommodating when I needed to change my booking (twice!). My cat was not stressed at all when I collected her and I liked being able to go into the cattery to pick her up myself from her yard. I will be definately booking her in again. Thanks for taking care of her.

Two cats boarded very successfully from Xmas Eve - 30th Dec 25.  Both looked well and happy when I walked in to pick them up.  Home with no issues - 24 hrs of settling in time with some skittish behaviour - nothing new for these two!!  Few weeks down the track and we are already planning my next break and their next stay 🤣🤣

We are very happy with the accomodation for Lola & Coco.  Knowing they are safe & secure while we are away is comforting.  We have been staying at Rosewood farm for over 10yrs.
