About Us

Founded by husband and wife Maxine and Al, devoted dog parents to Tilly, the toy poodle and Pip, the cavapoochon. The Doodle Den is a specialist retreat created with a true love for doodle breads. Built on trust, experience and a lifelong passion for dogs, what began as caring for friends’ and family pets has grown into a boutique hotel and social club in the heart of Broadstone.

With a focus on poodles and their wonderful crosses, we offer a tailored experience designed to suit their playful, intelligent and affectionate nature. Our services include a boutique hotel for cosy sleepovers, a fun enriching social club, mini spa treatments and carefully curated walks - all in small groups of no more than six dogs.

Every dog who stays with us is treated like family. They are never left alone and cared for as if they are our own, with plenty of cuddles, enrichment and outdoor adventures. At The Doodle Den, we create a calm and happy space where doodles can thrive, socialise and feel at home.

While doodles are our speciality and passion, we warmly welcome other small and medium breeds, who enjoy a simple gentle and social environment.

With us you can trust that your dog is safe, we are fully insured through Protectivity and are licensed by BCP Council under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations.
