We’re absolutely thrilled to share some pawsome news… Longcroft Luxury Cat Hotel has been crowned Best Luxury Cat Accommodation 2025 in the London Pet Hospitality Excellence category at this year’s UK Enterprise Awards, hosted by SME News!

This prestigious award recognises businesses that go above and beyond for their customers – and we couldn’t be prouder that our dedication to feline welfare, personalised care, and five-star hospitality has been celebrated on such a national stage.

Founded in 2010 by our amazing Director and feline advocate Abi Purser, Longcroft was created to challenge the poor standard of traditional cat boarding and offer something better – much better. What started as one beautiful boutique hotel in Welwyn Garden City has grown into a trusted network of 25 individually owned Longcroft Cat Hotels across the UK, including several purrfectly located in Greater London and the South East.

Abi commented: “We’re absolutely delighted to receive this award. It’s a true reflection of the love, care and commitment our entire team puts into everything we do. We’re especially proud to be recognised in Greater London, where demand for trusted, high-quality cat care is growing fast – and where our hotels truly shine.”

Now in its ninth year, the UK Enterprise Awards celebrate the very best of British small business – from pet care providers and wellness experts to legal firms and local entrepreneurs. Awards are given solely on merit and highlight the positive impact that innovative businesses have on their industries and communities.

To all of our wonderful customers, past and present, thank you for trusting us to care for your beloved kitties. This award is as much yours as it is ours. Here’s to more purrs, more playtime, and more Longcroft adventures ahead!
