The cat hotel is situated in a quiet, leafy garden and is conveniently located close to the A31 and around 20 minutes from Winchester.

Longcroft Four Marks in run by April, who adores all things feline. Her boutique hotel is set in the lovely garden of her pretty rural home in the stunning Hampshire Countryside.

“For many years I dreamt of opening my own cat hotel – I was inspired when I met Longcroft founder Abi Purser eight years ago, and fell in love with the concept of her first fabulous cat hotel. Every cat that stays is treated as a VIP – given the highest standard of care in gorgeous surroundings. I want my customers to leave feeling 100% confident that their feline family members are in the most capable of hands and that they will receive the five-star treatment they have been promised. I love spending my time catering to the every need of our special friends.”

April shares her lovely home with her husband Sean. Together they have five grown up children and have always had lots of family pets. Before opening her own cat hotel, for many years April ran her own hard landscaping business, and then she ran the finance department for a Technology Company. She also owned a livery yard for many years. She has always wanted to work with animals, especially cats:

“As a young girl I used to volunteer at my local vets and over the years I have looked after many cats – I would often arrive home with a cat that I had decided to rescue! I have a diploma in anatomy and physiology so I have a great understanding of how our feline friends’ bodies work. And I’m also a qualified Swedish masseuse – so I’m sure my massage skills will make my feline pampering sessions even better for my guests. I’m passionate about offering every cat that stays with me a comforting, home-from-home experience so that their owners can go away knowing that their cats are receiving the best care available.”
