Meet the family

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.”
