Dog Boarding at The Five Bells — The Country Home of King's

Your dog's holiday starts at our Chelsea daycare. We drive them down to The Five Bells, where their days are built around gorgeous walks through the South Downs, with the same standard of care they're used to at King's — and photo updates to you throughout their stay. There's a grooming salon on site, and we live at The Five Bells ourselves, so your dog is cared for around the clock by the people who know them from daycare.

Most boarding means kennels: concrete runs, unfamiliar handlers, a stressful environment. The Five Bells is the opposite — a real home in the countryside, restored as both a village pub and a boarding house for our Chelsea dogs. Small numbers, familiar faces, proper walks, and cosy nights in by the fire.

For owners who'd like something more than snapshots, we offer an opt-in photography service: your dog professionally photographed over the course of their stay — on the walks, in the garden, mid-adventure. You come home to a holiday album worth framing.
