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

- 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. 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 group's and parent 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 year-end cash position was £11.4m (2023: £15.2m) due to funds introduced by the director of £6.5m pending an anticipated transaction, a transaction did complete in Dec 2023.”
- “In the year as planned we updated the Spa at Deganwy Quay Ltd providing more wet facilities and improving the gym offering. This was completed in April and has since driven extra revenue at the property.”
- “We also purchased the shop next door to the hotel at the start of the financial year which yields a rental income.”
