The business is run by owner Linda, who brings extensive experience in the animal boarding sector and is a qualified Assessor in Animal Care. Linda and her team are passionate about providing a home-from-home experience for dogs, offering luxury accommodation, natural holistic food, and a dedicated grooming and spa facility. The hotel is set in 6 acres of countryside, featuring seven executive suites, 12 premier suites, and a Toytown building for smaller breeds, all equipped with modern amenities like underfloor heating, air conditioning, and CCTV security. The Conifers is committed to the well-being of every guest, providing secure paddocks for exercise, one-to-one and group walks, and access to woodland and river walks in private grounds. The team is qualified to a minimum of Level 3 in Animal Care, with some members studying Veterinary Science or training towards further qualifications.

The hotel offers a comprehensive range of services designed to cater to the individual needs of every dog. Their "Pamper Parlour" provides grooming and spa treatments to keep dogs looking and feeling their best. The team is skilled in working with a variety of breeds and temperaments, ensuring a calm and stress-free experience for nervous dogs. The holistic approach extends to their food shop, which sells 100% natural pet food, and their "A la Carte" menu for special treats. The Conifers also offers a delivery and collection service for food, making it a convenient choice for local pet owners. The focus is on providing a luxurious and personalised experience, from the comfortable beds and televisions in each suite to the high-quality meals and the opportunity for off-site walks.

Beyond its core accommodation and grooming services, The Conifers Canine Hotel offers a unique and comprehensive experience for dogs and their owners. The business is deeply involved in the local community, with Linda being a breeder of Golden Retrievers who shows them to Crufts level. The hotel's holistic ethos is supported by its own Natural & Holistic food shop, which sells all the products fed to the guests. The facility is designed to be a true sanctuary for dogs, with a focus on luxury, comfort, and individual care. The 24-hour on-call veterinary service and the secure, well-maintained grounds provide an extra layer of safety and peace of mind for pet owners.
