  • "Louis literally pees with excitement when Ian arrives to pick him up. When we're away we love that Louis is having his own adventures, we love getting updates and photos, and have 100% peace of mind knowing that Louis is safe with people who understand the special traits of the long dog."

  • “Our Kenny and Tilly had the most amazing stay at The Dachshund Manor. It had been a challenge for us to find a suitable place – we knew The Manor was the one after reading the reviews and seeing all the lovely guests. Ian, Sue and the team went above and beyond taking care of our very needy, anxious dashies. We cannot thank them enough for ensuring a wonderful stay, making friends, lots of play and getting lots of cuddles from the humans. The daily updates gave us peace of mind whilst we were away. We cannot entrust our little ones anywhere else now. We highly recommended The Dachshund Manor.”

  • "My gorgeous girl Dorothy is a regular visitor to The Manor. She adores Ian and Sue, and loves Walter their magnificent standard dachshund, and all the staff that have looked after her. Dachshunds are their passion, and it shows in their loving care. It is such an amazing service as she gets picked up and dropped back, gets lots of interaction with the other dachshunds, lots of fresh air and a garden to play in, and in general has a ball. It is her holiday when we go away. She always comes back looking trimmer because of all the exercise and play. Receiving daily videos and updates when away and overseas is a plus and part of their wonderful care. I think of Ian and Sue as friends and am so grateful for all that they and the staff do. I am obsessed with my dog like all dachshund owners, and I can relax when away knowing Dorothy is very happy, warm, well fed and given lots of hugs, and exercise. You will never regret sending your beloved pet to The Dachshund Manor and you can rest easy knowing they are in excellent hands."

  • "I cannot recommend the Dachshund Manor enough! Ian, Sue and the team are truly incredible. We’ve never left Oaty before so were super nervous as he can be a little timid around new people and because we would miss him so much. I wanted to find someone that would love and care for him just as we do at home. I knew from the minute I first spoke with Ian that The Dachshund Manor was a very special place. They put our minds at ease from the get go. From organising Oatys stay, to sorting out logistics of picks up and drops off. The whole process was seamless. They even set a group WhatsApp chat especially for Oaty's adventure … and WOW what an adventure he had. Every day we woke up to multiple pictures, videos and message updates which we were so thrilled by they truly made our day watching him thrive with all his new dashie friends and helped with us missing him so much! The team were so attentive with Oaty and gave him all the love and attention we could have wished for. He will be so thrilled when we book our next trip away as he will be so excited to go back to his new favourite place. Thank you so much again."

  • "We are so grateful to Ian, Sue, Walter and the team at The Dachshund Manor for taking great care of our furbaby, Olive. We looked forward to reading the daily updates and seeing the gorgeous photos and videos of Olive's time in the beautiful Blue Mountains amongst her new friends. We felt reassured that Olive was in the best care we could possibly hope for. Olive would like to say thank you for looking after her and for giving her so much care and attention."

  • “Well, where to begin? Our dear Rufus has had the most ah-mazing time on his holidogs at The Dachshund Manor with Sue, Ian, Walter and the team. Having a trial visit prior, meant that Rufus was happy and familiar before arriving for the real deal. Our complete peace of mind was enhanced by the entertaining daily updates – we loved the photos and videos of our boy having the time of his life, adventuring with all his new friends. We couldn’t recommend TDM highly enough, and will definitely be booking Rufus in for future fun with the gang. All his needs were carefully noted and tended to with the greatest of care – more peace of mind, knowing he was in such knowledgeable hands. Another bonus was the taxi service bringing Rufus straight home to the door, meaning there was no question of driving jet-lagged to pick up our boy. We loved the above-and-beyond service and clearly, so did Rufus, he’s still catching up on sleep from all the fun!”

    Anne, Erin and Rufus – July 2024

  • "Words can’t describe how thankful we are to Ian, Sue, Sam, Ella and of course Walter for having our boys Scooby and Shaggy for the last four weeks while we enjoyed a stress free honeymoon! The daily photos and videos had us thinking they were having even more fun than us, and kept us at ease the whole trip knowing they were getting all the love we give them at home. The boys are already missing all their dachshund friends and can’t wait to come back when Mum and Dad decide to jet off again."

    Alex, Bryce, Scooby and Shaggy – July 2024

  • "The Dachshund Manor family both human and fur members are truly the kindest of kind. They absolutely understand the uniqueness of this very special breed of dogs and owners! We have been able to have guilt free time away knowing that Freddie is completely cared for, entertained and most importantly loved. Freddie has just returned from his third stay and has a few more of his own special “holidays” lined up for this year. Thankyou, thankyou for this very special service. Our whole family were entertained by the pictures, messages and funny anecdotes about Freddie’s new found friendships."

    Abi, Jon and Freddie – July 2024

  • "Thank you all so much for your care of Brodie. From the first time I enquired and spoke with Ian there was a sense of comfort Brodie was going to be looked after. Whilst we were both having a mini break I was kept up to date on how he was and the first day I was reassured he was settled in and enjoying his holiday as well. Thank you Ian, Sue and your team."

    Jacqueline and Brodie – July 2024

  • "Thank you, Ian, Sue, Sam and Ella for taking care of my Frankie while we are on holiday. Their daily multiple updates and videos made me feel secure that Frankie was having the time of his life thus making my holiday worry free. More importantly, my questions/inquiries were answered immediately. From the very start Ian made Frankie feel safe and secure and took the time to really know him. The personal touch was so important to me and The Dachshund Manor has that. Highly, highly recommend and Frankie will definitely be back!"

    Jennifer and Frankie – June 2024

  • "A huge thank you to Ian, Sue and the team at The Dachshund Manor. Our one and two year olds, Hamish and Hazel, had the best time on their recent stay. It was wonderful to see the pups so comfortable and enjoying themselves so much! We were kept up to date on their adventures regularly. They were very well looked after and we will definitely be booking another stay at a The Dachshund Manor!"

    Laura, Hamish and Hazel – June 2024

  • "Hazelnut has returned home after two weeks of pure bliss at The Dachshund Manor, and we couldn’t thank Ian, Sue and the team enough for the love and level of care they showed her. They sent daily updates of photos and videos with the cutest commentary. It was always an exciting time for us to see what she got up to during the day. We can’t recommend The Dachshund Manor enough and can guarantee that Hazelnut will be back for another stay."

    Kristy and Hazelnut – June 2024

  • "Thank you Ian, Sue and Walter for once again taking such beautiful care of Matilda. She has had three beautiful stays at The Manor over the past two years and is looking forward to visiting again! The care and genuine love you offer her is outstanding. I couldn’t recommend The Dachshund Manor more. Thank you so much."

    James and Matilda – May 2024

  • "We couldn't thank enough the whole team at The Dachshund Manor for looking after our precious Yoshi. He had a wonderful time on his recent stay. We are very thankful for the staff following up on all Yoshi's needs as well as sending us daily updates and photos of his time there. We couldn't be happier and will definitely be back!! Couldn't recommend them more!!"

    Liliana and Yoshi – April 2024

  • "The Manor took care of our almost 16 year old old boy last year. He'd never been 'in care' outside of family before this. Our little old man enjoyed his time with the other puppers and we were overwhelmed by the care and daily communication to us from The Manor. Our now near 17 year old has a return holiday booked for later this year and we sure are not jittery about leaving him like we were last year. We highly recommend The Dachshund Manor."

    Judy and Toby – April 2024

  • "Our experience with The Dachshund Manor surpassed all expectations! From the moment we dropped off our three beloved mini dachshunds, we knew they were in the best hands possible. First and foremost, the care provided for our dashies was nothing short of exceptional. We were initially anxious about leaving them for an extended period, especially with one of our dachshunds recovering from IVDD surgery. However, the team at The Dachshund Manor demonstrated unparalleled expertise in managing her recovery, putting our minds at ease. Their attention to detail and understanding of our short legged friends truly impressed us. What truly set Dachshund Manor apart was the level of communication they maintained throughout our dogs' stay. Daily updates, complete with photos and videos, not only reassured us but also allowed us to share in our pets' experiences. It was evident that the team's genuine love for their work and the dogs in their care extended far beyond mere professionalism — they treated our pets as if they were their own family. We also utilised their transportation service from The Manor to our home and we couldn't be happier with this service. The convenience and reliability of their transportation added an extra layer of comfort to our experience. We cannot recommend The Dachshund Manor highly enough. If you're seeking a luxurious, safe, and loving environment for your dachshunds, look no further. Thank you, Ian, Sue and the team for providing such an outstanding service and for caring for Pebbles, Sandy & Rocky with such devotion and expertise. We look forward to their next stay in June."

  • “Our two dachshunds Indi and Otto arrived home from a two week stay at The Manor today and are so sad to be back to reality! Ian, Sue, Walter, and the team took such great care of them. We received daily updates and photos of them with their new friends and letting us know what they had been up to. This really put our mind at ease whilst we were away, as we knew they were having an absolute blast. 100% recommend The Dachshund Manor and will be sure to send them back again for another amazing holiday!”

    Dearne, Tim, Indi and Otto – February 2024

  • "A huge thank you to Sue, Ian and the team for looking after our Archie recently. Archie is a very anxious sausage but he had the most amazing time at The Manor, making so many new friends. He can’t wait for his next stay! p.s Thank you for making his birthday so special."

    Megan and Archie – January 2024

  • "Another huge thank you to Sue, Ian, Walter and team for taking such amazing care of Chuck and Lola during their latest Christmas stay. As usual we received numerous photos and updates every day letting us know what our babies were up to and who they were making new friends with. And on Christmas Day they and the other furry guests were treated to a specially prepared three course Christmas lunch that was worthy of Masterchef! Sue, Ian and the team always treat our babies as if they were their own and we can be rest assured that Chuck and Lola are safe, happy and feeling very loved whenever they stay there. No pet accommodation we have tried in the past has ever come close to this. Thank you again so much for the complete devotion you show in caring for our babies."

    Aaron and Maryanne Lola and Chuck – January 2024

  • "A big thank you to Ian, Sue and the team at The Dachshund Manor. We were worried about leaving our only dog for his first trip away but from the minute we got the first update our minds were put at ease. Ian and Sue are truly passionate about what they do with the dogs and our dachshund Eric made many new friends while he was at The Manor. It will be the only place we will leave him in the future and can highly recommend The Dachshund Manor to anyone looking for a friendly place to leave their dachshund for either a short or extended stay."

    Emma and Eric – January 2024

  • "Dorothy has had the best time!! She’s eaten fresh sardines, made friends with like minded short legged sausages, had morning cuddles in the hooman bed, and had endless games of fetch. I was very stressed about Dot being anxious during my time away, but now I don’t think she’ll want to come home! The Dachshund Manor is a special place for doggies, and I’m so happy she has a safe, loving and extremely fun second home whenever we need it. Thanks The Dachshund Manor!"

    Lilli and Dorothy – December 2023

  • "Words cannot possibly describe how AMAZING The Dachshund Manor is. My dachshunds Stevie and Penny have been attending for day care for most of the year and they get out of the car and go running in, and for context, they don't do this everywhere we go. Right from the start, you are assured just how suited the environment is and how knowledgeable the owners are about dachshunds, ensuring that the dogs are cared for in the right way. The photos and videos provided during the day not only ensure I feel they are cared for, but that they are also having a great time. (That's not even explaining the quality of the photos! Who needs a pet portrait session). Not once have they come home and not passed out from their amazing day. If you are considering somewhere to leave your dog, furbaby, heartdog or member of your family, look no further than The Dachshund Manor, you won't regret the care and love they give your little one, I certainly haven't."

  • "Cosmo had a wonderful two weeks at The Manor! The daily pupdates assured us he was having the time of his life with his new mates. He will definitely be back soon."

    Chelsea, Warren and Cosmo – December 2023

  • "Ian, Sue and team are the best in the business! Leaving Mia with this wonderful crew is a no brainer especially when Jer and I go on long trips away. We know she is in great hands! Receiving daily updates with lots of photos assured us she is having the best time (and living her best life) which put us at ease so we could enjoy time away. We really couldn’t recommend them enough and as much as it pains me to say this because they are constantly booked out around big holidays meaning one less spot for Mia ... you really won’t regret leaving your baby dashy with them."

    Narmina, Jeremy and Mia – November 2023

  • "Our little girl Piccolo had the most wonderful stay at The Dachshund Manor! Ian and Sue have a genuine love and understanding for the breed, I would highly recommend and use them again for sure. She was absolutely exhausted after all the fun she had during her weekend stay."

    Madison, Jayden and Piccolo – November 2023

  • "We can't thank Ian and Sue enough for offering such an excellent personalised service. Our little girl Narlah doesn't spend time away from us so we were a bit anxious about how she would cope. Ian and Sue made her feel comfortable and she enjoyed spending time with the other dachshunds. They gave us updates throughout the day which made us feel better knowing she was having a ball. I would recommend The Dachshund Manor 100 times over and I know any time we visit The Blue Mountains we will definitely be using Ian and Sue again. Thank you again for such a wonderful service, little Narlah will miss you."

    Chrissy, Jason and Narlah – November 2023

  • "My little man Alfie has just spent two weeks at The Manor (his second visit) and has had the best adventure. Ian, Sue and the team look after him like he is their own and he gets spoilt with friends, cuddles and delicious treats. They give me multiple daily updates on his antics which I love and it means I can be away without feeling stressed. I wouldn't send Alfie anywhere else. He will be back soon for more fun and he can't wait for his next visit."

    Carol-Anne and Alfie – November 2023

  • "My dear boy Otto (13 yrs young) has just had another wonderful stay of care, love and loads of dashie fun and games, at The Manor. Otto has recently become a solo dog after the sudden death of his lifetime mate Ruby and has struggled without her. Ian and Sue have been such a support to him and myself, caring so lovingly for him and encouraging his confidence and play with the other dashies in their care at their home. I absolutely recommend a stay for your precious dashie with Ian, Sue and their very handsome boy Walter, CEO (Chief Entertainment Officer) of The Dachshund Manor".

    Patricia and Otto – October 2023

  • "We are genuinely grateful to Ian, Sue and the team for looking after Kevin. From the first email inquiry over the phone, to pick up via the van, to the daily updates (including videos), the experience was excellent. It’s so calming to know that our little guy is in good hands and well looked after by a team that understands the breed and their quirks and requirements. 10/10 I would recommend The Dachshund Manor!"

    Ann, Elliot and Kevin – October 2023

  • "Ian, Sue, Walter and the team at The Dachshund Manor look after our little Noodle like a Queen. Having a dog sitter catered purely to dachshunds is amazing, and their knowledge and love of the breed is clear. We know she is in great hands when we travel, as they understand her behaviour and what she needs to be comfortable. She gets so excited when she sees Ian come pick her up, and the taxi service is really helpful with our schedule. Lastly, the daily updates (Noodle loves a fashion shoot) are so nice and super cute. When we moved to Sydney we were worried about finding a reliable dog sitter who understood the breed, but look no further. It’ll be the best choice you make for your furbaby, and your peace of mind."

    Bronwyn, Dan and Noodle – October 2023

  • "We are thrilled to have found Ian, Sue and the amazing crew at The Dachshund Manor. Max is a real homebody, so we’re very grateful to know that he’s in a safe (and beautiful) place, socialising with fellow dachshunds, surrounded by loving humans. Max comes home rested, happy and healthy each time. We all love the photo and video updates, and the recognition from Ian and Sue that Max is a big part of our family. Thank you!"

    Arti, Ed and Max – October 2023

  • "Jamie and I are beyond grateful for the love and care that The Dachshund Manor gave to our boy Buddy during his ten day stay! We were so happy to receive regular updates, photos and videos and it comforted us seeing Buddy having so much fun with all of his dachshund friends. The team were so patient with Buddy and really took the time to let him warm up and feel at ease around them. And we know he definitely did after hearing how cuddly and clingy he was!! The team were also so understanding and were more than happy to accommodate our travel schedule which made our experience even smoother. We could not recommend The Dachshund Manor enough, and we will definitely be returning. We know Buddy already misses the wonderful team and his doggy friends!!"

    Ryan, Jamie and Buddy – September 2023

  • "Today Ralph, Holly and Eevee went to The Dachshund Manor for a play date! I was very nervous to see how they would all go with other dogs! But safe to say they had a ball and even made new friends. It is so important that my babies get the time to have fun and socialise with other dogs and humans. The team at The Dachshund Manor were amazing!! They kept me up to date all day and gave some really good feedback about their day as well as awesome pictures. Ian and Sue treated them like family as soon as we arrived and greeted them with cuddles and kisses, that's when I knew my trio would be just fine. Definitely recommend The Dachshund Manor! My babies will be back for many more play dates and some overnight stays."

    Claudia, Braden, Ralph, Holly and Eevee – August 2023

  • "Our little Dudley had the most incredible time at The Dachshund Manor. Leaving him for the first time was nerve wracking, however Ian and Sue welcomed him into their little family with so much love and care. Receiving updates with photos and videos of Dudley having such a great time made us so happy and it was so great to see him making so many friends. You can tell Ian and Sue genuinely love what they do, as this shows through the dashies they take care of and the smiles that are shown on their faces. I would recommend The Dachshund Manor for everyone who is wanting the most perfect staycation for their little one! Thank you so much Ian, Sue and of course Walter."

    Brigitte, Belinda and Dudley – August 2023

  • "Our heartfelt thanks to all of you, the awesome team at The Manor. We truly appreciate the love, care and great experience you have given our Gussy boy over the past weeks. Thank you for the wonderful photos, videos and multiple daily updates. The Manor experience has far exceeded our expectations! We were able to enjoy our holiday knowing Gus was very well cared for and having a great time himself."

    Sonia, Isabella and Gus – August 2023

  • "Dudley loves going to TDM and we love all the updates every day. Couldn’t be happier with the service from Ian and Sue. They truly love your dashy like their own."

    Tracey, Ash and Dudley – July 2023

  • "Luke and I had the best experience with TDM! First time using their services, and we couldn’t be happier. From their easy booking system, to the daily updates on our dog, Frankie, we knew she was in good, capable, and experienced hands. Our dog didn’t want to leave! Her confidence has grown ten fold, and we can’t wait to use TDM again soon!"

    Mahsa, Luke and Frankie – July 2023

  • "Our boys Wilbur and Charlie love staying with Ian, Sue, Micah, Gemma, Sam and Walter at The Dachshund Manor. They get so much attention and enjoy playing with the other dogs. They don’t want to leave when Ian drops them home. We know they are in the safest hands when we go away and love the updates and photos to show us how much they are enjoying their stay."

    Natasha, Gordon, Wilbur and Charlie – July 2023

  • "Thank you for your kindness, love and giving Max a true home away from home. Your dashie visitors truly delight, play and reside at the beautiful Manor. Max is our fourth mini dashie in our thirty three years of marriage. Knowing he is so happy on his holiday just adds so much to our holiday. We cannot thank you enough and look forward to seeing you soon, we definitely know Max does!"

    Tracey, Rick and Max – July 2023

  • "From the moment we first made contact with Sue, Ian & Walter we knew we had found the best holiday home for our three dachshunds, Violet, Stella and Ivy. Everything was perfect - wonderful daily photos and updates, kindness that knew no bounds and the care shown was just amazing. Walter was a fantastic host and provided the girls with a willing dozing buddy. Everyone at The Manor loves what they do with this showing in the exceptional care provided. We can look forward to our holidays knowing that the girls are with Sue, Ian & Walter which is a huge comfort to us."

    Jan, Karyn, Violet, Stella and Ivy – July 2023

  • "It’s obvious from all the lovely photos and videos we received of our boy while we were away that he was having the most amazing time, which makes you feel so much better about leaving him, such a gorgeous place and garden that Humphrey just loved. Seeing the pics of our boy with the other dogs was the highlight of our mornings while we were overseas! We know Humphrey considers The Dachshund Manor his home away from home and that he is cared for like one of the family. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our little man! Pick up and drop off service is super convenient too! Humphrey will be back soon!!"

    Peter, Gordon and Humphrey – May 2023

  • "We could not recommend The Dachshund Manor highly enough. It has become a home from home for our little Millie with her third visit coming up soon. Ian and Sue take care of her as if she is their own, and the daily picture updates never fail to make us smile. There are never any worries when booking a trip away as we know Millie will also be having the time of her life with Ian, Sue, Walter and the rest of the gang. We can never thank you enough for the love you show her, and the peace of mind you give us."

    Emma, Callum and Millie – April 2023

  • "This was our first overseas family holiday since our beautiful lil man Frank came into our lives. We received Frank at 6 months of age after being returned to the breeder by his previous owners. We needed to find care for him for 3 1⁄2 weeks and were very nervous about leaving him behind, (also concerned that Frank may suffer anxiety of feelings of abandonment). Then I came across The Dachshund Manor! After many great discussions with Ian and Sue, we started to look forward to our holiday knowing Frank was going to be with caring, understanding and accommodating humans who not only have a handsome dachshund themselves (Walter), but Frank would be in the company of other visiting dachshunds. From booking the accommodation, pick up and drop off transfers, food arrangements and outdoor adventure time – Ian and Sue really provide the perfect environment. We couldn’t wait to see pictures and videos of Frank which the team sent to us DAILY and were truly heart-warming. We can’t recommend The Dachshund Manor and their team highly enough!! Booking our next holiday/getaway won’t be so stressful when care for Frank is required. Thank you and we look forward to booking with you again!!"

    Giulieta and Frank – April 2023

  • "Best in the business! From my first dealings with Ian and Sue their communication, reassurance and professionalism was faultless. I left my little dashie Slinky for a week while I went away on a family holiday. Each day I received multiple updates and photos showing me what Slinky was doing and the friends he was making. Ian and Sue were happy to talk to me as many times as I wanted which was reassuring. Slinky loved his stay and I look forward to leaving him with his dashie family in the future. If, like me, you have had a bad experience somewhere else be sure to reach out to The Dachshund Manor as you will not be disappointed. I can’t speak highly enough of the Ian, Sue, Micah and Gemma and the care and love they gave Slinky."

    James and Slinky - April 2023

  • "Thank you Sue, Ian, Gemma and Micah for looking after Alberto for 12 days. When we were away, we were able to relax knowing that Alberto was being well looked after, having his own holiday at The Dachshund Manor. We really enjoyed Alberto’s daily photo stories. Alberto loved making new friends at The Manor. If you are looking for a holiday for your dachie, I can highly recommend the excellent service, love and care provided by the team at The Dachshund Manor."

    Susan, Abilio and Alberto - February 2023

  • “We cannot thank the team at The Dachshund Manor enough for taking such fantastic care of Cheddar and Nugget while we were away. We loved the daily updates letting us know what they have been up to. We had absolute peace of mind knowing our dogs had plenty of sausage friends to play with, space to zoom around, and lots of cuddles from the lovely team. We appreciated the restriction on the number of guests at one time ensuring they were getting the best supervision and plenty of attention! Cheddar and Nugget are so chilled out after their stay and already have their next visit booked in.”

    Joan, Martin, Cheddar and Nugget - February 2023

  • "Every time Drum visits The Manor he truly comes back a very happy, very tired relaxed pup. I have used The Dachshund Manor a number of times now and cannot recommend them enough. With daily updates and posts on Instagram you always know what your dog has been up to. I know when I leave Drum with Ian, Sue, and the team, he is in very safe hands. The dogs are always well looked after, have tons of playtime and are spoiled with hugs, toys, love and giggles. The pick up and delivery service is an absolute bonus and lifesaver for me. Thank you Ian, Sue and Walter for letting Drum share your world."

    Lisa and Drum - February 2023

  • "My partner and I are first time dog owners. We left our gorgeous little girl with a local minder and received a call from a motorist that our Daphne was running on the road. As a result we haven’t left Daphne with anyone since, that is until we discovered The Dachshund Manor. We have been lucky to find someone else who loves our Daphne as much as we do. She loves the big backyard, with plenty of space to explore and dig and play with all the other dachshunds. Ian and Sue are great people. We now don't dread out of town weddings or trips away as we know when Daphne is at The Dachshund Manor we know she is safe, not stressed, anxious but happy and enjoying herself. Thank you Ian, Sue, Micah and Gemma for all the photos and videos and messages with updates on how Daphne is enjoying her stay. The return dog delivery service is fantastic as well, and very reasonably priced. We’ll use The Dachshund Manor for as long as they’ll have Daphne. Thank you!"

    Dimitrios, Sarina and Daphne - January 2023

  • "Our Winston is an anxious pup and takes a long time to warm up to those outside of our household. I can honestly say that our boy absolutely loves being cared for by Ian, Sue and Walter (as well as the now extended team) and we couldn’t be happier with the service The Dachshund Manor provides. It’s his home away from home and seeing how content he is in our daily updates let’s me know he feels incredibly safe with them. We are so grateful this kind of doggy minding exists and we look forward to booking Winston’s next stay very soon (which will be his ninth visit). "

    Monique, Kris and Winston – January 2023

  • “When it came to being away from my dogs I wanted to ensure they had a home away from home, somewhere they would be cared for and given the same love and attention. I found this at The Dachshund Manor. I was going to be away for quite a long time and Ian and Sue gave me peace of mind from the very beginning. I received daily updates, videos, photos and could see the absolute fun my boys were having. I am truly thankful for Ian, Sue, Walter, Micah and Gemma for looking after Homer and Moe. Going above and beyond for my boys and every other dog in The Manor. They made friends for life, and I would not hesitate in having them hosted again at The Manor.”

    Sarah, Homer and Moe - January 2023

  • "Frankie thoroughly enjoyed her stay at The Dachshund Manor and is excited for the next time we go away so she can return. This was the longest we have left Frankie but Ian, Sue and team sent us a daily overview and photos which greatly put our minds at rest and allowed us to enjoy our holiday. We couldn't recommend The Dachshund Manor more highly."

    Robert, Emma and Frankie - November 2022

  • "Lola has had the absolute BEST time at The Dachshund Manor. We can't thank Ian, Sue, Micah and Walter enough for treating her as part of their family. The regular updates put us completely at ease that she was enjoying her stay. Being apart from our fur baby was daunting at first but now we will not hesitate to travel knowing Lola will be in excellent hands. Thanks guys!"

    Stephen, Natalie and Lola - November 2022

  • "Thank you so much for looking after our two girls, safe to say they had an absolute blast. Thank you so much for the constant updates and keeping our minds at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I couldn’t recommend you all enough, the girls can’t wait to see you again."

    Michelle, Mark, Emily, Zoey and Pixie - November 2022

  • "We can’t recommend The Dachshund Manor enough! Ian and Sue came highly recommended and from Taco’s first visit we knew we had found the perfect home away from home for our little miss. Ian, Sue, Micah and Walter provide such a wonderful service and we know Taco is in safe hands at all times and being treated like a member of their family. Taco loves The Manor and playing with all of the other dachshunds so much that she has serious withdrawals when she comes home! Thanks again for taking such great care of our little fur baby and we can’t wait to have you look after Taco again."

    Miles, Sarah and Taco - November 2022

  • "The Dachshund Manor is a home away from home for our little dachie. Ian, Sue, Walter and Micah are the most caring, nurturing, loving people and fur child (Walter) one could ever want to look after their fur children. The daily updates including photos was definitely the highlight of my day. My holiday was definitely much more enjoyable knowing that my little Luna was in safe and caring hands.

  • “The biggest THANK YOU! You have obviously taken such wonderful care of my little Tilly. It was so lovely to receive all the updates from you over the last few days, and it truly meant that I wasn’t anxious at all because I knew she was in such good hands. She had the best days ever and had a ball with you and her new friends. I’m so happy that The Dachshund Manor was recommended to me. I couldn’t be happier with your wonderful service and feel like I’ve really found a holiday home for Tilly.”

    Gemma and Tilly – October 2022

  • "We couldn't be happier with the care, attention, and affection that Zelda was given from Ian and Sue at The Dachshund Manor. Zelda came home extremely happy and relaxed. We can't wait to have Zelda stay again, we feel she's found her home away from home!"

    Emma, Rob and Zelda - October 2022

  • "Incredible, amazing and awesome experience. My two babies Rey and Scar had a two week stay with Ian, Sue and Micah and had a wonderful time. Our experience with The Dachshund Manor was excellent. We received daily updates on their adventures which made me feel so much more at ease being away from them for so long. They enjoyed the indoors when it was cold and loved exploring the garden! Rey and Scar were treated like family, they were loved just as much as they are at home. Walter also helped the girls adjust and I think created a special bond with Rey. It was very obvious when we picked the girls up that they had a blast as they had a great relationship with Ian, it was so obvious they received major TLC. The Dachshund Manor are super efficient in their communication, very professional and accommodating. We will most definitely be bringing the girls back for another stay. They made lots of new friends both canine and human. Thank you so much!"

  • "The Dachshund Manor is the best!! Buddy stayed with Ian and Sue at The Dachshund Manor for 7 weeks whilst we were away. Ian and Sue sent lots of updates and photos so we could see Buddy was having a wonderful time with the other dachsies! We are so happy we have found a home from home for Buddy when we go on holiday. We would highly recommend The Manor!!"

    Becky, Nathan and Buddy - October 2022

  • "Archie had the BEST time at The Dachshund Manor! I couldn’t thank Ian, Sue, Walter and Micah enough!! I had total peace of mind and it was the absolute best getting updates on how Archie was having the best time ever there!! You guys totally go above and beyond for these special sausages! We can’t wait to see you again in December for an even longer stay. Archie was actually upset to be home, that says a lot. Thank you again."

    Lucy, Chris and Archie - October 2022

  • "Our boy Jimmy stayed with Ian and Sue at The Dachshund Manor for about a month whilst we were overseas. Can’t recommend them enough!! The worry and anxiety disappeared very quickly once we started receiving daily updates about our pup, and what a wonderful time he had! They treated him as their own and he had the time of his life! Bush walks, playing in the snow, pupcakes … these guys go above and beyond! Jimmy was definitely down in the dumps when he returned to us haha! Can’t wait for his next Dachshund Manor adventure!"

    Rosie, Mike and Jimmy - October 2022

  • "Highly recommend Ian and Sue from The Dachshund Manor! They looked after our boy Klaus for a week whilst we were overseas and we got daily photos, videos and updates. He was so well cared for and looked after which made it so much easier to be away from our boy. They were also kind enough to let Klaus come for a play date prior to us booking to make sure it was the right fit for everybody and when the time came to drop him off he went straight to them and was so excited to be back at the Manor. We are so happy to have found them and will be back."

    Jessica, Emilie and Klaus - October 2022

  • "Ian, Sue, Walter and Micah a heartfelt thank you for taking the most wonderful care of Nina. We were all feeling anxious about leaving her for three weeks. Your kindness and understanding was so reassuring and left no doubt in our minds she was in the best of hands. The daily updates and photos were so appreciated. Nina came home full of confidence and it was clear she had enjoyed her stay. We will definitely be checking into The Manor when it’s time for our next holiday. Thanks again for looking after Nina as if she was your own!"

  • "Ian, Sue, and Sir Walter provide a safe and fun environment for my short-legged baby. My Sake enjoyed his time and probably had a more fun time than at home, looking at the pictures shared! No doubt Sake will be spending vacation time there more often in the future."

    Vera, Vincent and Sake - September 2022

  • "We love sending Pepper to The Dachshund Manor! Sue and Ian (and Walter) take such good care of her. They do such a good job that we are currently up to our 7th stay (with 2 more booked in). We get great photos, daily updates and she comes back happy, clean and tired from running around so much. They always go above and beyond for us and you can tell how much they love snags. Thank you so much!!"

    Jordy and Pepper - September, 2022

  • "I cannot recommend Ian, Sue and Walter highly enough. Piccolo was so well looked after and had the best time. She has never been away from us and I could see from the continuous updates and photos how happy she was. She loved the other dachshunds and both Ian and Sue. They took great care of her. I loved all the photos and updates. Thanks so much both of you. She will definitely be coming back!"

  • "Winston had a great time during his stay at The Dachshund Manor. I was nervous to leave him as he’s an anxious dog but Ian and Sue were able to put my mind at rest and help him to get settled on his holiday. Over the four weeks Winston was in their care they sent me daily updates of all of the fun adventures Winston had been having and pics of him playing with his new friends which helped me to switch off and enjoy my break too. He was well cared for and spoilt with lots of doggy and human attention. Thank you Ian, Sue and Walter for taking such good care of my boy, he’s looking forward to his next adventure at The Dachshund Manor."

    Roxanne and Winston - August, 2022

She came home happy and tired, so we know she had a wonderful time on all of her adventures perfectly curated by Walter :) Ian and Sue went above and beyond to make sure Frankie felt at home and that we were up to date on the fun times she was having.

I know that I can trust them both to take good care of him - the Manor is definitely Ace’s home away from home. Thank you Sue and Ian, I always have peace of mind that Ace will have the best time!"

Ian, Sue and Walter welcomed them into their crew with open arms, it’s a relief to know they’re taken care of so well when we travel. Our pups have enjoyed their stay so much that we’ll start doing regular day visits too. On top of the dogs having the time of their lives, the communication, ease of booking and all round experience of The Dachshund Manor is excellent. Thank you for your amazing service!!"

    Orla, Conor and Dash - March, 2022

  • "Nachos had such an awesome time at The Dachshund Manor. Since coming home he has been walking much better, I think just having some other doggos to practice with has been a big help. I can tell that you both have a genuine love for dashies and the daily pics and updates let me know he was in good hands. Thanks for taking such great care of Nachos and I will definitely be booking him in again."

    Yeena and Nachos - March, 2022

  • "We can't thank Sue and Ian enough for looking after Willow, we really felt so lucky to find The Dachshund Manor as what they offer is exactly what we were looking for! A lovely home away from home where Willow could fit right in with their daily life and be with people who understand all the little quirks and personalities of a dachshund. We know she was given lots of love as if she was their own and I can't recommend them enough if anyone is looking for a home stay or day care for their furbaby!"

    Louise, Danny and Willow - March, 2022

  • "I can not thank Sue and Ian enough for looking after Teddy this past week. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a dog sitter! We were so lucky to have them take care of him. They included him in all outings and made sure he was loved the entire time. Sue and Ian only take in dashies and constantly provide you with updates during their stay. Teddy had an absolute ball and we will be having him stay at The Dachshund Manor in the future for sure!"
