Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Buzzacott Audit LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors see no reason why the Company should not continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future as it has satisfactory cash and reserves. The Directors have therefore adopted the going concern basis in preparing the Company's Financial Statements.”
Significant events
- “A programme of refurbishment and related remedial works to bedroom accommodation was delivered at a total cost of £0.855m.”
- “The company reported a trading profit on ordinary activities after taxation of £175k (2024: £893k). This reduced trading profit arose primarily as a consequence of the programme of refurbishment and related remedial works to bedrooms.”
- “Following a net transfer of £100k (2024: £835k) to the modernisation reserve, £75k (2024: £58k) was transferred to the profit and loss account reserve. The modernisation reserve stood at £1.75m at year-end and will be used to meet necessary as well as aspirational capital expenditure projects going forward.”

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
