Multi award-winning pet grooming expert Kelly Davis has joined forces with Somerset’s most welcoming country house and spa retreat, Montigo Resorts Somerset at Charlton House, to offer parallel residential and day-spa pampering packages for pets and their owners.

Characterised as Britain's 'Best Groomer' by the BBC, Kelly has been in the pet industry since 2001 and has exceptional grooming skills and experience.

Kelly, says, "I was thrilled to be asked by Montigo Resorts to collaborate on the opening of the new KD Pet Spa at Montigo Resorts Somerset. Together we have created a unique grooming experience for pets, where pet owners can be confident in our thorough and competitively priced grooming service and relax themselves in the comfort of this beautiful hotel and grounds.

"It is rare for hotels so be so pet friendly and to combine such a high level of care for the visitors and pets alike. I am a long-time member of Charlton House and now under the mantle of these distinguished owners we can provide a haven for pets and their owners. I invite you to bring your Pet to our Spa and pop into the hotel for lunch or a dip in the pool in the knowledge your pet is being truly pampered."

Therapies for cats and dogs include deep coat conditioning experiences, a delicately scented blueberry facial, full grooms, a de-shedding Ayurveda treatment, a puppy pamper, paw-dicure and even professional teeth cleaning. All grooming is highly customised, and no project is too complex for Kelly and her team.

Taking the concept of pet-friendly breaks to an esteemed new level of excellence, pet parents heading to enjoy the historic estate’s swim-in, swim-out pool, thermal spa, fitness studio and steam and treatment rooms can now bring along their furry babies to enjoy pet-tailored spa therapies and grooming treatments.

Owners booking their pampered pooch in for a KD Pet Spa treatment can enjoy preferred rates for wellness therapies and lavish experiences for themselves at Charlton House - or simply opt to while away the guilt and pet-free hours in restful, lounges and grounds at this beautiful little country estate.

Chih Ching, Executive Chair of KOP Properties Ltd says, “We’re happy to partner with the award-winning Kelly Davis, on the opening of this Pet Spa. This reinforces our ethos of establishing partnerships with local businesses and our commitment to being a pet-friendly establishment. We look forward to welcoming and engaging with the pet owners of Somerset.”

A study of 1,353 UK women carried out by 77 Diamonds* found that 75% say they would prioritise a personalised engagement ring over a larger or more expensive diamond. What seems to stand out is not a complete rejection of convention, but rather a rebalancing and reassessment of value. 59% of women say their preference still leans towards traditional ready-made ring designs, and only 11% want an entirely custom-made piece But the emotional drive behind preferences and purchasing decisions does appear to be changing with 30% expressing a desire for rings that carry additional meaning through small modifications, engravings or design adjustments.
