The Blundell of Crosby Estate, at Little Crosby, Merseyside which is managed by Fisher German Chester office has recently let a former farmhouse and outbuildings and approximately 11acres of land for use as a 25 bedroom luxury Dog hotel, Daycare & Training facilities, Hydrotherapy centre and Grooming salon.
The smallholding which was relet with effect from 1st April 2017 and has recently obtained planning consent for the proposal, is currently undergoing significant investment by the new tenant to transform it into the luxury dog facility. The boutique 5 star hotel will have 25 luxury bedrooms instead of kennels, ranging from standard rooms which can house up to 2 dogs (all from the same family), to family rooms which can take 3+ dogs. Each room comes with a human size double bed, a television so owners can Skype their pets and also a cctv camera that monitors all dogs when they are in the rooms. Each room has a source of day light, as well as benefits from a state of the art ventilation and filtration systems, ensuring all rooms are fresh, odour/allergen and disease free.
There are plans to operate a daycare facility where dogs can come on a day to day basis whilst owners are at work and they can then be exercised and looked after by trained staff. In addition, training classes will be offered ranging from puppy classes to agility classes and operated by fully trained staff.
The grooming salon will offer a range of treatments all provided by trained groomers in a state of the art salon. Finally a large high spec hydrotherapy pool is planned with a viewing panel and hydraulic harness to enable disabled and rehabilitation dogs to be able to access the pool.
