"It is so comforting to know that we can leave Murphy in safe and trustworthy hands. We know that he is taken for walks. We know that he is fussed and loved by Tracey. We know that he is happy there because his tail wags and he gets excited whenever he sees Tracey (or Les). He comes back happy, clean and not smelling horrible. Bluebell Wood Kennels 'do exactly what it says on the tin!!' - unlike some kennels that we have used in the UK."

"I am the owner of a small kennel of high-quality show and working whippets. I pay great attention to detail in their breeding, training and nutritional requirements, and I am amply rewarded by their results in the show ring, on the track and on the lure-coursing field. All are Champions.
After searching throughout the Vienne and the Haute Vienne for suitable boarding kennels for over three years, I was delighted to learn of the newly-opened kennels run by Tracey and Les MacLennan. Just one visit was enough to convince me that I had at last found somewhere where I could safely leave my "pack" whenever the need arises. The care and love is second to none, and all my whippets now greet Tracey as a true friend. Need I say more?"

"Shimba is her “Daddy’s Little Princess”. She is very special to us and we all love her dearly. By chance we came across Bluebell Wood Kennels which is where Shimba has had many happy holidays. Tracey always makes her stay a happy one and cares for Shimba as we would ourselves. We are very lucky for Shimba to have another home to stay at, and to know that she is being well looked after and cared for means we never have to worry when we leave her."
"Having searched the area for good kennels, it was fantastic to find Tracey & Les & their great set up. They were very welcoming when I asked to visit before leaving the dogs for the first time. Having an arthritic alsatian & a bouncy border colley, both ends of the doggy spectrum are covered. But Tracey & Les take this in their stride & I have no worries or hesitations about leaving the dogs (medications & all) in their capable hands. Another great thing is that not only do they look after my dogs & the other kennel inhabitants so well, but they also find time to help the SPA & other refuges in the area too. Thank you both.."

"Due to a family crises we had to return to the UK at short notice and this meant finding a temporary home for our Labrador, Ellie. A phone call to Tracey at Bluebell Wood solved our problem and this meant Ellie could return to the Kennels for her third visit. She whimpered with delight when she saw Tracey and ran into the Kennels to greet all the temporary residents. She looked to be disappointed when we brought her home and sulked for two days but now she is fine. Thanks Tracey and Les for keeping up your very high standards."

"We have been boarding our cross border collie (Misty) at Bluebell Wood Kennels since July 2007. Misty was a refuge dog from SPA Limoges, and we adopted her mid July 2007. We had to go back to the UK unexpectedly, and were a little concerned about leaving her so soon after her adoption. There was no need to be concerned at all. We now travel regularly back to the UK, so we are more than confident that Misty is well looked after. Tracey (Misty’s 2nd Mum) treats all her boarders like family and takes care of their every need. Misty loves going there and gets very excited as soon as she sees the gates to the kennels. All the dogs seem to love Tracey, so anyone taking their dog to Bluebell Wood Kennels can be sure their pet will be very well looked after. I cannot recommend Tracey and Bluebell Wood Kennels highly enough. We sometimes wonder if Misty prefers to live at Tracey’s or her own home!"
"Thank you so much Tracey for looking after our golden boy, "Albert". He 
always returns home so happy. He very obviously enjoys his time with you at Bluebell Wood. He promises to bring his own gardening gloves next time!!
It always makes the sometimes stressful trips back to UK, much easier knowing Albies in good hands. We understand your adding a testamonial page to your website, we would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who loves their pet.
Albie says see you January, and hope you like the photo of me aged 10 weeks, XX"

"Many thanks for the care and attention you gave to our two dogs, Ted and Sam while we were on holiday recently. We will have no hesitation in recommending your kennels and using them ourselves when needed. "
"Elsa our German Shepherd stayed at Bluebell for the first time in September 2008. Her stay was for 11 days and when we picked her up she looked in tip top condition. We will not hesitate to use the kennels again as you can tell that the dogs are looked after with a lot of love, care and attention. Thank you Tracey and the hour + journey to get to you is worth the effort."
