- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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. 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.”
Significant events
- “On 7 August 2024, the Company issued 1 £1 ordinary share at a premium of £17,084,666. The total consideration received in connection with the issue was £17,084,667.”
- “The movement in net assets from £-15,583,000 in 2023 to £622,000 in 2024 is predominantly due to the Company being restructured in the year, for a total consideration of £17,084,667.”
- “Management's intent to combine the operations of all UK portfolio hotels into a single company, involving the transfer of business including assets, liabilities and employees to another Group company.”

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
