- Westcotts (SW) LLP
- 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.”
Significant events
- “Following their success, additional micro-lodges with hot tubs were added at St Ives over the winter, and we plan to develop and improve the quality and product further in the coming year.”
- “A new arcade has been built at South Bay as part of a token-only trial being conducted at the park. If successful we expect further parks to become cashless in the years ahead.”
- “Improvements have also continued at Llanrhidian with the addition of an infant sensory play area to bring together an entertainment facility for all age groups within the Purple Badger venue.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
