A LOCAL woman has set her home up as a dog hotel.

Liz Atkinson, 35 of Windmill Road, Wombwell, set up Woofs Away as an alternative to kennels.

Liz, who runs the business with some help from her husband, Jonathan, decided to start it up after being unemployed.

"I've been a dog owner for many years and I love dogs, and I wanted to combine my outdoor family life with work," she said.
