Owners Comments On Kennels
The previous owners established the boarding kennels business twenty-five plus years ago as an off-shoot of their poodle breeding enterprise. there was also a small cattery with six units. We bought Knoll View in 2004. The kennels were in poor state of repair and the cattery was well below an acceptable standard. We demolished the cattery and improved the kennels to comply with current licensing conditions. In 2014 we built a separate new block of six kennels with many features to help with ease of use and improve canine comfort. There are now fifteen kennels licensed for a maximum of thirty dogs. All kennels have suitable lighting and heating and are generally larger than the minimum sizes specified in the LA Licensing conditions. There is a separate isolation unit. Within one of the kennel blocks there is a pet kitchen with hot and cold water, sink, fridge, shelving and cupboards. There are also two indoor kennels and a further storage room. The whole kennels area benefits from a new mains power supply and has been rewired and tested to current standards. The business enjoys an outstanding local reputation. We rely upon personal recommendation by customers and have no need to advertise, although we do have a simple web-site and sponsor a local dog and pony show.

Turnover and Potential
The turnover of the business has increased every year for the last five years and the steady increase in customers means we are always full over the summer months. Our charges are very competitive and due to increase from 01.01.2016. Last increase was 01.01.2014 with no loss of bookings. This year with the new kennels available for the whole year, we are already seeing an increase in turnover and anticipate an even greater improvement. Previous years accounts are available up to tax year 2013/2014 and basic figures for 2014/2015. The whole business can be managed by one person even when full. Our unique selling points are: very flexible opening hours, we have grassed exercise area to which all dogs have access at least four times every day, individual attention to customers dogs, the ability to meet particular needs for different customers.
