- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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
- “FY25 was an excellent year for the business with record revenues and improved profit. The business has successfully focused on driving occupancy while managing market pressure on average day rates. The hotel has a substantial meetings & events business which grew significantly through a strong pipeline of repeat and new events plus it benefited from the first full year of operation of the second ballroom.”
- “Up until 18th August 2024, the immediate parent of the company was Meridian Hotel Holdings Limited, a company registered in England and Wales. On 19th August 2024, the immediate parent of the company changed to Greenwich Holdings Limited, a company registered in Jersey.”
- “Up until 3 October 2024, the ultimate controlling entity of the company was Apex Financial Services (Trustees) Limited, a regulated trust company administered in Jersey. On 4 October 2024, the ultimate controlling entity of the company changed to JTC Trustees Limited, a regulated trust company administered in Jersey.”

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
