Anyone ever used a cattery?

My girl will be seven months when I go away for five nights in November. I'm just putting it out there really. Before anyone says I shouldn't have got her if I have no one to look after her like the person that said I shouldn't work night duty I have a neighbour a cleaner who will change her day and a flat mate who is there on and off so plenty of back up. It's just incase really. I rang the cattery up and it's ran by an Irish woman who seemed perfectly lovely said they are fed three times s day and entertains however when I saw the website it looks like they are basically put in a cage? For £8 a day I couldn't really expect anything else I just wondered if anyone had used them and had a good experience?

We've always used a cattery, except for the odd night here and there. One of our cats is a stray who turned up so always worried she might go off again. Also I would rather they be sad elsewhere (if they do miss us) and not associate that with home. Am going away in a few weeks for a few nights so have also booked them in as I am worried about the London cat killer! Our cattery is in the country with pens. They come back well groomed and seem happy. There is also another local one where the cats can socialise ( if they want). Apparently they like to when not on their own territory! Have a look and you will know if you are happy.
