About us
Welcome to Banks Ghyll Kennels and Cattery! We are Steph and Martin, the brand new owners here at Banks Ghyll.
Banks Ghyll was established in 1996 by Kath and Cliff Smith and has provided exceptional service, care and boarding for all of the four-legged guests and their families throughout throughout North Yorkshire over the years, and has maintained the highest standard award from Craven Local Authority.
Steph and Martin have been handed over the frisbees and are excited to have the opportunity to continue and develop this amazing business.
Steph is a self-confessed crazy cat lady and animal lover. Taking a step away from a busy managerial role in a photography studio, Steph has qualified in kennel and cattery management. Although, she still has her camera handy and will be snapping fun pictures of your furry friends for updates whilst you’re away!
Martin is the business brains and is always thinking of ways to enhance our four-legged guests experience, having grown up with Labradors he has a soft spot for the big dogs! Martin owns a creative arts college in the North West and the running joke seems to be that the kennels and college aren’t too dissimilar! (the kennels can be quieter, though..)
Banks Ghyll has an amazing team consisting of our wonderful manager Samantha, Katie, Aimee and Stacey who all take the upmost care in looking after all the furry friends that come to stay with us.
We are delighted to have been awarded 4 star rating! (4* being the highest new owners can receive) by the Environmental Health Department at Craven Council.
