The Site: level for approx 8500 sq m with an additional 1000 sq m of managed, cleared and grassed forest (which provide all year round shade) including 500 sq m of landscaped car park.

2300 sq m is alongside the main area and open to multiple uses

The house - because that's where you would live - built in stone with tiled roof in 2007 - single story with full gas central heating plus solar panels for hot water. High roofs in all areas - separate kitchen, lounge, 2 bedrooms, shower/bathroom and office/reception which leads directly to the kennels.
Large patio area with pergola and established (eating) grape vines and new large barbecue
Total inside area 105sq m

The Kennels - built to our high standards, each with its own run and large bedroom - big enough for 2 to share if they live together - full drainage to own large septic tank (which serves the house as well) - which has never needed emptying. We have 10 Bedrooms at present- possibility of doubling if wanted - Although we been turning away guests throughout the year, this is more to the style and numbers involved in the day to day operation.which is ,at present, run by Peter on his own**.

Dog exercise/Play areas :
1, Wet Weather (stone and grass based) 1000 sq m :
2.Field 4000 sq m with established Oak and shade trees (planted in line with North Star)

The Area - surrounded by Oak Woodlands (protected) and these areas have also been cleared and managed to the Forestry Commission agreement. 250m from nearest neighbours (part of our Licence) which is Rethymnon Organic Brewery - a quiet location except for the birds and sheep bells. The rocky outcrop to the west and surrounding trees providing natural shelter.

Services : 3 phase elhere Gas storage tank. mains water plus 1000 L emergency tank and pump: telephone and internet: 20000 L septic tank - self draining

All fittings/equipment/furnishings are included in the price (except my laptop )

Expansion Potential: Could/need to double the number of kennels with additional persons available to operate - at the moment operated by Peter on his own **.

Competition/Market : No other Licensed Boarding Kennels in Crete - some'others' but none have the facilities/reputation of CRETE KENNELS which is why so many old and new customers want to book their dogs here throughout

We have been booked throughout the year ,as were open and fully used every day of the year (except for my brief holiday).

Years established -16 (started 2007)

Support and Training - On hand support and assistance available for the settling-in period available and I will be staying on the island for on-going advise if wanted

Reason for selling: One partner already returned to UK(2013) and Peter now needed to retire (hence the reduced price) and a younger couple take over to expand to suit the desperate need.
Due to Peters' ill health, we are closed at the moment.Over 350 disappointed customers would welcome our reopening.

UPDATE 11/7/23 : FOLLOWING SURGERY, Pleased to announce reopening.. within 2 hours of notification, bookings received through to January 2024 !
