Not a post I ever anticipated having to make, but sadly I feel the need to do so 😥
I will preface this by saying I am talking to the extreme minority here, 99.99% of our customers have respected our unspoken ground rule.
Finchmore Home Boarding is by appointment ONLY. No one is EVER allowed to come on to our property uninvited or unscheduled. This is our HOME where me, my dad, my staff, our dogs and our animals need to feel safe. It is unacceptable and will not, and has never, been tolerated.
More and more people are trying to contact Finchmore by phone call, if those people took 30 seconds to read our website or look at this page they would realise we don't take phone calls. Why no phone calls you ask? Well, for one, signal is awful here, we'd spend half the call saying 'can you hear me?'. Second, if I took every phone call I recieved everyday, I'd never get anything done! We are very busy here, looking after precious dogs, and I'm sorry I don't have time to stand around for half an hour every time I get a call.
WhatsApp or email is the ONLY way you may contact me. Even texts don't go through very well.
We live rurally for a reason, to protect our privacy, and for the dogs to enjoy the land. This does not mean you can find us on Google and wander down the drive because I didn't answer the phone, or took a day or two to respond to an email.
I have removed our phone number from Facebook and Google, with a WhatsApp link instead. The website does already state no phone calls 😑 if I could, I'd remove our address from Google too but it's too useful for new customers (who go through proper channels!) To find us when needed.
So, I reiterate, Finchmore is by appointment only. If you arrive at Finchmore unscheduled you're trespassing. The whole of Finchmore, both houses, driveways and all the land, is private property. Please be respectful of our home.
And thank you to our lovely customers who have always respected this rule, which I never thought I'd have to lay out like this.
