Your Cat Need Vacation ? : Please Visit The Longcroft Luxury Cat Hotels

They are dedicated to giving all their guests a luxurious stay in interior designed heated suites with hotel style services a home from home and the perfect stress free retreat for our much loved cat.

Longcroft Luxury Cat Hotels are the world’s first truly 5-star catteries, dedicated to giving their feline guests a luxurious stay while their owners are away. Launched by Abi Purser in response to the fact that she could not find a premium cattery in her area for her own beloved pet. The first boutique cat hotel opened in Welwyn Garden City in 2010. It has been a runaway success from the start, leading to the launch of several Longcroft franchise hotels across London and the South East to meet overwhelming demand from just some of the UK’s 11 million cat owners.

Much imitated but never equalled, the success of Longcroft lies in Abi’s meticulous attention to detail. From wrought iron designer cat beds to individually decorated bedroom suites, from gourmet menus and grooming services to a choice of music, and team  members whose sole job it is to come in and entertain the feline residents each aspect of a stay at Longcroft has been crafted around each individual cat’s well-being and the owner’s peace of mind. Abi’s passion for perfection and personal involvement ensures that cats and their owners experience the same high standards and outstanding VIP service in every Hotel.

Abi've also managed to hit the shores of many countries worldwide national press, both printed and online, so rather than link you to everything below are just a few snippets of where we've been featured.

The Hotels
Cat guests enjoy the same 5-star service and attention to detail at each Longcroft Hotel.

Abi Purser, together with her husband Matt and three children, runs the Welwyn Hotel, which opened in 2010. Abi has worked with animals for over 15 years, and created the vision for the Longcroft brand and business when she struggled to find a premium cattery for her beloved rescue cat, Norman.



Best thing about running a Hotel?

“I love running Longcroft; I honestly feel as if I’m living the dream! The cats are amazing, and I adore all my regular guests, who are always so happy to come back to stay. The Hotel has had such a positive impact on owners’ holiday plans – one couple had not been on holiday together for 20 years before they found us; they simply could not find a cattery that felt like the right environment for their cat. Hearing stories like this makes every day at work a joy.”

Hotel featuring:
Six bedrooms, Single, double and triple occupancy, A La Cat Menu, Grooming and extras available, Portraits, Short and long stays welcome, Chauffeur available, Daily entertainer

Gill, 54, has been married for 36 years and has a son, daughter and three grandchildren. She cannot imagine her life without cats – she got her first as an eight year old, and two days after her wedding, she took her husband to Cats Protection League to choose two family cats! She has never been without a cat since, and currently has two cats, Jasper and Cinders.

Best thing about running a Hotel?

“Cats are, and have always been, my number one passion. I first heard about Longcroft when looking for good quality accommodation for Jasper and Cinders – and as soon as I saw the Welwyn hotel I knew that I wanted to offer the same facilities in St Albans. As this is a small, boutique hotel I can offer a real personal service and get to know my guests as if they were my own. I have no other job, and so can devote all of my time to my guests’ care to ensure that they have a pleasant and enjoyable stay.”
