Audit & accounting basis

- Standalone (parent only)

- Forvis Mazars LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have, at the time of approving the financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources, through the financial support of its ultimate parent company, to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Company's total liabilities exceed its total assets by £2,110,355 (2023: £2,084,128) and continues to be reliant on the support of its ultimate parent company. 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 ultimate controlling party made a decision in 2023 to sell the properties and related hotel operations in Dorset as part of their wider plan for the group. The properties leased by the entity are actively being marketed, however at the time of signing the financial statements there has been no confirmed sale.”
- “There has been a change in ownership and a restructuring of the Group since the year end (Note 21).”
- “On 10 April 2025, the Company underwent a change in ownership and group structure. Its ultimate parent is now Red Carnation Hotels Group Limited, registered in Guernsey, Channel Islands. From November 2024 until this date, after its previous ultimate parent entity The Travel Corporation Limited was sold to a third party, the Company's ultimate parent company was Tollman Family Investments Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands.”

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
