- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 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 original financial statements were authorised for issue. A key area of judgement made by the directors is in regards to considering whether uncertainties in respect of the going concern assertion represent material uncertainties. In making this assessment the Directors have considered: - The availability of alternative funding to re-finance the loan facilities of Blantree Midco Limited; The confirmed support of the ultimate funder to the group, which includes the introduction of further loan facilities. The Board has therefore concluded that there are no 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 12 months from the date the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “During the financial year the following hotels won awards: Prestige Awards 2025 Isle of Mull Hotel & Spa | Best Island Hotel Loch Fyne Hotel & Spa | Best Country Hotel Highly Commended Prestige Awards 2024 Loch Fyne Hotel & Spa | Best Country Hotel”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
