Our Vizsla Willow loved spending time with Lesa & Robert and all the other Gingers.We highly recommend them and their home for boarding, the garden is brilliant to explore. The photos from the walks in the fields and the ones all snuggled up each night were so nice to receive whilst we were away. I cannot wait for Willow to go back and stay with them all xx

Such a wonderful place, Frida loves her time at Ardanaiseig. As a nervous rescue she struggles to settle and finds meeting new people difficult but Lesa and Robert made everything so calm and welcoming she loved it from her first visit. She’s so happy and well looked after when she spends time at Ardanaiseig that we’re delighted we found them!

We have 2 Wirehaired Vizsla’s and we would not leave them anywhere else as Lesa and Robert provide a perfect home from home. It’s a great comfort leaving your gingers with a couple who fully understand the breed and their quirky needs!! I definitely miss them more than they miss me when we leave them at this wonderful home! Don’t know what we would do without them as we book our holidays around their availability!

These guys…. 🥰 I’ve been stalking them for soooooo long and finally managed to get a place for daycare and they didn’t disappoint! The love they show is unreal and they truly, truly know, love and understand the breed immensely. They are not just someone you send your dog to, in hopes they get a cuddle and have a good time, your Vizsla becomes much much more than that. Always at the end of a phone and nothing is ever too much trouble for them: the advice, training and support. Ive never worried about how my pup is getting on as I know he is being well looked after, but the video and photo updates back it up. Honestly…. Could not recommend these guys enough

Amazing home from home!!Think the puppies had a better holiday than we did 😉 Thoroughly recommend Vizsla Home Boarding to anyone. Knowing that our two were being so well looked after, and the regular pupdates and photos sent through, meant we could relax for the time we were away.Given that our youngest boy can have his issues, the extra time, attention and care that he received from VB was invaluable. Since coming home we can see an increase in his confidence too.Ours were taken in by VB and treated as part of the family for the duration, walks , fun and most importantly evening cuddles - we will never send them anywhere else!!Thank you

Lesa and Robert are knowledgeable experts on the breed and like extended family to us and our boy. He never wants to leave when we pick him up and he cannot wait to get out the car to be with them when we do arrive. We would be lost without them!

Willow has been going to vizsla boarding over a year for day care 3x a week ♥️ I honestly couldn’t recommend these guys enough. Being first time vizsla owners Robert and Lesa have helped us no end of times and we feel so grateful and lucky to have them close by. We receive photos & videos of willows days, having a great time. We go to work with no worries that she’s in great care 🐕 thank you for everything you do for us. Xx

I am so grateful to have found this wonderful Vizsla home. Lesa and Robert are just so fabulous and have looked after Storm like she is their own. It is a complete home from home experience and I feel very reassured that storm is happy and relaxed when she is with them. Receiving regular photos, messages and videos of storm on her holidays is so lovely to see, very reassuring and again just makes you realise how much Lesa and Robert care and love looking after them while they are in their care.I can’t recommend enough and feel so lucky to have found this wonderful place.

I can't recommend highly enough. Fantastic home care for our beloved Lili. I would say "home from home", but I'm sure she prefers it to her permanent home. What Lesa and Rob don't know about our Hungarian friends is not worth knowing, and that knowledge is matched or exceeded by a love for the dogs that they look after.I was worried about leaving Lili for the first time, but she had a great experience and when we pulled up on the drive for her second stay she was hyper excited to be back. Lesa and Rob send regular updates and the photos and videos that they forward are a reassurance that she is happy, which takes away any anxiety that I have about being separated from her.We are so lucky that this unique and wonderful facility is on our doorstep, and it was no surprise to find that one of Lili's best friends from her last visit had come all the way from Manchester.

𝐋𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐞'𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐭 @vizslaboarding 🐾With Louie being a rescue I've always been a little anxious to leave him, or to socilise him with lots of dogs as we haven't had him in his puppy stages, and although every dog we have met he's been absolutely fine with I've always been anxious about it. So today after 5 star reviews we sent him packing to a home away from home 🏡 and WOW the service has been exceptional. I've received pupdates all day, videos and photos and my mind was completely at ease knowing his was in the best hands possible. Louie's extremely tired from a very fun day playing and is now snoring on his bed 😴

I can't recommend Ardanaiseig Vizsla boarding enough! Our boy loves it here and I get great peace of mind from the wonderful relationship they develop with the dogs! I am so happy to have found them 🙂

Lesa and Robert have taken care of our Vizsla and German Shorthaired Pointer on a few occasions now. We simply could not recommend them highly enough.We have had some bad experiences with putting our dogs in kennels in the past and due to this, we were quite apprehensive about leaving our furry babies with anyone other than family. We were instantly put at ease with Lesa and Robert’s knowledge of the Vizsla (and GSP!) breeds. We are always kept up to date with photos and videos of our dogs whilst they are staying with Lesa and Robert - which we absolutely love. Our Vizsla is such a sensitive girl, demands quite a lot of attention and can sometimes be a quite fussy eater when away from home. Lesa and Robert accommodate amazingly for this. It is clear to see that our dogs are taken on some amazing walks (with a GPS tracker attached to their collar - which we love) and cared for in such a lovely, safe home environment.It is such a relief to know that we have found Robert and Lesa for our dogs. It’s safe to say that we do not worry for a second when we leave our dogs with them and we can clearly see from our dogs behaviour that they absolutely love their time with Lesa and Robert.It’s as though they have an innate knowledge of understanding different dogs personalities and needs.We would recommend Lesa and Robert without hesitation.

5 stars ***** for Ardanaiseig Vizsla Home Boarding ! ! !Boarding our 1-year-old vizsla, Darcie, with Robert and Lesa during our wedding weekend was totally stress free which we definitely needed with all the wedding stress going on!! It was important for me to speak to the boarder prior to the booking since Darcie had a few behaviour problems. Lesa and I had several conversations beforehand, I was put totally at ease and I couldn’t have been happier leaving her. Robert and Lesa have a breadth of knowledge and lots of experience with vizslas. During Darcie’s stay they didn’t just ‘watch her’, they taught her things, took her out on nice walks and even on trips to a café and the pub! We received welcome photos and videos during Darcie’s stay. The dogs have lots of space to run around and play in the open plan house and garden. Another positive is the food Robert and Lesa are happy to provide. Since Darcy is raw fed, it was one less thing to think about; packaging enough raw food for her stay.Darcie loved her stay with Robert and Lesa and made a new friend in their dog, Porthos! We were so happy with Darcie’s stay that she is booked in again soon for 2 weeks while we go on our honeymoon. We cannot recommend Robert and Lesa highly enough.

Ruby had a great time while we were away for the weekend, even going to a VizWhizz. I was very impressed to see a tracker on Ruby when they took her out, which was a fantastic idea when you are walking someone else’s dog. We were sent loads of photos, so we could see she was settled and loving life. Ruby came home having had lots of cuddles, walks and play time, she certainly slept well!!We would highly recommend Ardanaiseig Vizsla Home Boarding, and Ruby will be off to stay again in December.

A true home from home for my 2 dogs. My two absolutely love it. I can go away knowing they couldn't be looked after any better, which is great piece of mind and means so much to us. Extremely knowledgeable and so helpful. Can't recommend enough!! If you have any worries about leaving your Viz they will put you at ease and care for them as if they were there own! Highly recommended!
