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

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors believe that the group is a going concern due to the current cash position and the freehold asset base of the group. Notwithstanding the fact that the Group has net current liabilities of £695,718 (2023: £856,375) the directors have prepared the accounts on the going concern basis.”
Group structure
- DRACO PROPERTY LIMITED · parent
- Stay Original Company Limited

- Chapel Barton House Co. Limited
Significant events
- “The group benefitted from the second full year's trade from At the Chapel, Bruton which was acquired during the final quarter of the 2022 financial year and has now been successfully integrated into the wider group. The business has traded substantially ahead of expectations and makes a significant contribution to group profitability. Two further bedrooms have been added, one during the financial year and one post the year end, taking the number of bedrooms to 10.”
- “All necessary consents are in place to add a further seven bedrooms at The King's Arms, Dorchester and four bedrooms at the Swan, Wedmore. Work is expected to start on these rooms during 2025.”
