• Hi Maria & Ralph,

    Thank you for your really lovely email . Not only did it make me smile, it also reassured me that I had made the right decision to leave them with another family who love their dog's as much as we do.

    You have both looked after them as well as we would have done, and clearly spent time with them to know of their individual characters.

    I think they feel they have been in their own little holiday with you. In the future i will have no concerns regards asking you again to look after them for us. I would also like to let you know that the returned to us as happy as when we left them with you, that is a clear indication to me that they were happy to be there to.

    Thank you so much once again for caring for the girls.

    Regards Chris.
  • Dear Ralph & Maria,

    We know when we bring Spike to you he will be loved & cared for in the same way that he is at home.

    You both do a fantastic job at Hillplace the kennels are always spotless & the dogs all look very happy.

    Our daughter Amy hates sending the dog away when we go on holiday, but when he comes to you she doesn't cry !

    We all relax safe in the knowledge that Spike is also having his own little holiday.

    Mark, Jenny, Ben & Amy Wombwell.


  • Maria & Ralph

    When we thought about going on holiday, my stomach churned at the thought of leaving Bullet & Woody, but I need not of worried as the care that they both received while in your care was second to none.

    We were very pleased with how you took the time to listen about Bullet's conditions, and nothing seemed to much trouble.

    We would not hesitate in leaving the boys with you again.

  • Our bulldog has stayed at Hillplace twicw already and loves it.

    Its like a home from home hes well looked after and loved.

    Simon and Tracy.

  • Well where to start really…

    Maria and Ralph are friendly warm and welcoming in everyway. Their knowledge, experience and love for bulldogs is apparent from the minute you arrive which is very comforting when you about to say goodbye for 2 weeks…

    On arrival we knew our little Princess Bully Pup “Ruby” would definitely be happy there as did Ruby as she immediately found a Horses Hoof to chew on! (We did not know this at the time, but this hoof would actually end up coming home with us 2 weeks later!!)

    We shall definitely be boarding Ruby with them again in the future, and with what’s on the menu, I may even check myself in too!

    Thank you Maria & Ralph

    Best wishes

    Natasha & David.

  • Ralph and Maria Taylor are wonderful hosts and a pleasure to deal with in their unique "Bulldog Holidays" adventure in their home at Crawley. They have owned and bred bulldogs for many years,and are always on hand for any questions and queries.

    We have had the oppurtunity to leave both of our bulldogs in the care of Ralph and Maria, especially the deliquent that we currenlty have ownership of (its a bulldog trait so im told !!! ) over the past several years.

    They run a superb kennel / holiday facility, and having such a great vast knowledge of Bulldogs and their needs is an absolute godsend, as those of us that are fortunate enough to own a bulldog, are aware of their needs at times.

    They cater to each indivuals requirements regarding, food, excersice, medication, sleeping with their favourite teddy, young or old your bulldog will become part of the Taylor household whilst you soak up the sun.

    Bulldog Holidays is in wonderful countryside settings and surroundings, and you can be assured that your bulldog is in safe hands. I would thoroughly recommend this service that they offer and i look forward to seeing/using this service again in the very near future.

    Keep up the excellant work and Thank you.

  • Dear Maria and Ralph,

    Now that we are actually functioning back on GMT, we just wanted to say an enormous thank you for looking after Boysie. We cannot think of anywhere else that we would rather him stay or anyone that would supply him with the love and attention he received.

    He obviously had such a great time with you because after the initial excitable homecoming of running round each room, he promptly ignored us for 2 days! I almost felt jealous because you could tell he was quite 'miffed' at being dragged away from his holidays and the company of all of you.

    I have this morning seen the photo on your site, my he does look every bit the 'scatty special boy' that we know and love! Wishing you lots of luck with your house move.

    Regards and huge thanks

    Veronica and Barry Hebben.

  • Dear Maria and Ralph,

    Firstly I need to say a massive thank you for taking care of my baby for 2 weeks, as you know she is normally left with my mum when I go away. Until the family holiday was suggested! I don’t think I would have gone if you hadn’t come so highly recommended.

    From the moment I dropped Blossom off I could tell that she would be loved & looked after as well (even better) than I would. On the Sunday when I came to pick her up I was slightly upset to find that Blossom was not even that bothered to see me, she was more worried about looking in the food cupboard trying to prompt you to serve breakfast.

    I’m looking forward to booking my next holiday soon and I’m sure Blossom is looking forward to coming to you for her holidays.

    Thanks again

    Love Tyler & Danny xxx

  • Dear Maria and Ralph,

    We were more than a bit wary of leaving Stanley with people other than family because he is more than a dog to us – he is part of our family. But we need not have worried!

    Stanley clearly loved his time at Hillplace with all the other Bullys and was so well looked after and loved by Maria and Ralph. We would not hesitate in leaving him in their capable hands any time.

    They provided the best care and the most love to our boy and for that we are extremely grateful.

    Thank you!
