Brambles Boarding Kennels

About us

Brambles Boarding Kennels is a small, friendly, family run business run by Sue & Colin Walker situated just off the Thanet Way at Hawthorn Corner, Herne Bay and we are surrounded by beautiful open countryside.

The kennels were created using existing stables within our garden so our house is only metres away from the kennels enabling us to keep an eye (or ear) on all of the boarders 24hrs a day.

We are a small kennels and only have 10 kennels,7 singles, 3 doubles and an isolation unit for poorly dogs. We are licensed for a maximum of 13 dogs with Canterbury City Council and are inspected annually.

All kennels have a fully covered outside run which enables all dogs to get fresh air throughout the day (even if raining) and we also have a fully enclosed and secure grass paddock for the dogs to have free running exercise and games.

Sue owns and runs the kennels single handedly with husband Colin doing all the maintenance works. Because of this the dogs and owners all become firm friends and enjoy personal attention.

Any personal habits, needs or worries can easily be catered for which is far more difficult in a large establishment.
