Going concern

Affirmed

“Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “Capital improvements at the hotel during the year included the installation of new air conditioning in the Wedgwood room, replacement of the outside furniture for the Coastal Terrace, replacement of two boilers and their flues, as well as general refurbishment of some bedroom interiors.”
• “Updating of the pool furniture will be undertaken in the coming year together with replacement of the outside garden lighting. A major replacement of the main lift at a cost of £138,750 is also to be undertaken in the year.”
• “The quality of the hotel's offering was recognised locally by its winning of the Outstanding Tourism and Accommodation Award at the 2024 Eastbourne Business Awards ceremony held on 29 November 2024 at the Winter Gardens, Eastbourne.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
