Derrings Kennels

Derrings Kennels are located outside Raskelf in the Yorkshire countryside, roughly mid-way between York and Thirsk. Our boarding kennels have a very homely feel about them, they are bright and airy with colour and calmness at every corner. Derrings Kennels are based in traditional brick buildings with slate roofs, which are the very best in summer to keep each room cool, assisted by fans to keep the air quality clean and flowing. Each room has insulation in both the floors and ceilings with recently installed biomass central heating. The kennels are never damp or cold; instead they are always warm and cosy.

We have different size rooms with kennels to suit different dog types and sizes. The individual dog kennels do not look onto one another, therefore dogs cannot shout at each other. Each kennel is exited straight out into the yard. Dogs are not walked past a long line of kennels, causing other dogs to get stressed. The floors and walls are smooth with no corners, therefore washing out is easy and effective, no bacteria build up in our luxury rooms! We don’t have outside runs, as most of our guests are house dogs. Our dog kennels are as close to a home as possible. The dogs treat the kennels as a house and use the field as a garden.
