Quiet Acres
Quiet Acres is licensed by Mid Suffolk District Council for cat boarding and dog boarding in Stoke Ash. The council's most recent inspection awarded it 3 stars out of 5.
Across Suffolk, 81% of licensed businesses hold 4 stars or above, so this rating sits below the county norm — though a 2- or 3-star business is still fully compliant with the regulations.
Its licence runs to 31 March 2027. Longer licence terms are awarded to higher-rated operators, which is why a distant expiry date is usually a good sign in itself.
On its own website the business describes itself as: "Quiet Acres dog boarding kennels and cattery near Eye offers the best care and attention for your pet in beautiful countryside on the Suffolk/Norfolk border." We reproduce that as a summary of what it says about itself, not as anything we have checked.
Its site advertises dog boarding, cat boarding.
We found no entry for this business on the ICO register of fee payers. That is common for sole traders and is not necessarily a failing, but a business holding your address and door key would normally be expected to be registered.
Under the star rating scheme a 3-star operator qualifies for a licence of up to 2 years and correspondingly fewer unannounced inspections, so the rating affects how often the council will look in as well as what it thought at the last visit.
Mid Suffolk District Council publishes an address for this licence, which is set out in full below.

This page reproduces factual entries from public registers. It is not a review, a recommendation, or an endorsement, and we have no commercial relationship with the businesses listed.

- Local authority animal activity licence registers — English local authorities. Factual fields extracted from each council's published public register: trading name, licence number, licensable activity, star rating and expiry date. Where a council redacts an address — as they routinely do for home boarders operating from a residential address — the record is kept without a location and never geolocated by inference. Licence: Open Government Licence v3.0. Refreshed 1 August 2026.
- Operators' own public websites — The licensed businesses themselves. Factual metadata — description, opening hours, contact details and advertised services — extracted from each operator's own public website. robots.txt is checked and obeyed before every fetch, requests are rate-limited to one per host per run, and every field links back to the page it came from with the date we last checked. Claims operators make about themselves are not verified by us. Licence: Summarised, not reproduced. Refreshed 1 August 2026.
