I’m the owner of Hutch Hotel, a small, home-based boarding service dedicated to caring for rabbits, guinea pigs and small animals. What began just before the first lockdown — an unexpected challenge — has grown into a trusted local service as families returned to travelling.
Every guest is cared for in my own home and garden in Mansfield Woodhouse, offering a calm, safe and genuinely home-from-home experience, with individual attention and familiar routines to help pets feel relaxed and settled.
A bit about me...
I love animals and currently I have a tortoise and chickens. Over the years, since being a child, I have had pet cats, guinea-pigs, hamsters and a rabbit. It is my absolute pleasure to look after other peoples small animals whilst they are on holiday and like to offer a hotel experience for my guests.
I love spending time outdoors, in my garden and even more so with the squeak of a guinea-pig or two in the background!
I live with my husband and two children aged 10 and 1. They all love to help out with the guests, whether its dishing out the fresh veg or cleaning out the hutches, everyone mucks in - and everyone gets to have cuddles as a reward (with the guests that want them)!
At Hutch Hotel, we treat your small pets with the same love and attention we give our own. Unlike impersonal kennel facilities, your rabbits, guinea pigs and small animals stay in a calm, home environment with daily care tailored to their needs.
What sets us apart:
Home-style care: Quiet surroundings, stress-free stays and personal attention.
All-inclusive comfort: Fresh hay, clean bedding and water included daily (no hidden fees).
Health focused: Daily wellness checks, cleaning and comfort based on your instructions.
Peace of mind: Photo and video updates (of the ones that aren't camera shy!) so you can see how they’re doing.
Experienced care: Familiarity with species-specific needs — from hay feeding to enrichment.
We regularly review our pricing to ensure we offer excellent care that is also competitive with local small animal boarders while reflecting the time and expertise involved in looking after your treasured pets.
