Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The company experienced a mixed trading year across its three businesses. Overall performance reflected steady underlying demand, set against operational and cost pressures in the hospitality and leisure sector.”
• “At Lancaster House, room rates increased, although occupancy declined, partly due to weaker conference activity, which fell by around one third.”
• “At The Wild Boar, room rates grew but occupancy levels also fell. Reduced sleeper numbers impacted food and beverage revenue. Operational initiatives implemented during the year are supporting improved performance in early 2025-26.”
• “The Sandpiper Club delivered broadly stable revenue with steady membership levels, although profitability was affected by higher wage costs and increased commission charges.”
• “The directors expect a stable trading year ahead. Preparatory work is underway for a major spa development at The Wild Boar, with construction expected to commence in early 2026 and complete in early 2027. Continued menu and service enhancements are planned at Lancaster House and The Wild Boar to strengthen the food and beverage offer, alongside ongoing bedroom and public-area improvements. The Sandpiper Club will focus on operational developments and member experience initiatives. Digital improvements will continue with planned platform upgrades.”

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
