The Reptile Hotel is the North’s most talked

about specialist reptile shop, known for its first

class service, second to none after care

and above all its pride of bringing the best

and most unique reptiles to the North East.

Managing Director Craig Thornton first started the business over 5 years ago and has been passionate about reptiles for the best part of 10 years. Craig tells us a little more “its not just a independently owned business its a hobby, I think I can safely say on behalf of the team its a pleasure to be able to help customers and to be able to serve the UK for their reptile needs” The Reptile Hotel has a commitment to their customers to deliver outstanding quality, service and advice. Craig says “we will continue to strive forward and to educated people on correct care and to help where ever possible, after all thats what were here for”

From opening the doors to the first store in South Shields back in August 2008, the business has went from strength to strength. In this time Craig and the staff have built the business up with a outstanding reputation that is clear for all to see. Opening the doors to a second store in January 2012 on the high street in Birtley it looks set for this business to continue to do well regardless of the tough economic times.
