bed and breakfast with cats

If you go on holiday to the area of Northumberland in England, you will want to stay in the B&B Thornley House near the historic market town of Hexham, especially if you are a cat lover.

Thornley House is known as a "B&B for lovers of fine cats and fine gardens."

 The gardens and fields of Thornley House are magnificent. 

The B&B is also home to two Main Coons, a red Burmese, three alley cats, and two donkeys.

The best part? 

You are allowed to keep the feline residents in your room at night so they can sleep on your bed. 😻

    If I lived closer I would be booking my stay right now ... what a lovely concept for a Bed and Breakfast. The cats are beautiful and I would let any of them sleep on my bed at night. Very nice find and beautiful pictures.

    He's probably sneaking out the window because he knocked down the chess pieces.

    That's an interesting concept for a B&B, having the cats stay with the guests.

    What an awesome place! Now people will not have to worry about leaving their cats when they go away. I imagine the fourth picture is the Red Burmese. I also love the cat sneaking out the window. And the adorable kitten on the chess set. I wonder how they got him to sit still and pose like this?
