Strategic Report |
for the Year Ended 30 June 2024 |
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 30 June 2024. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
The results for the year and financial position of the company are shown in the annexed financial statements. |
St Michaels Manor is an historic luxury hotel in St Albans district, famed for its independent style and modern British cuisine. Impeccably English and perfectly individual, St Michaels Manor 30 sumptuous suites and rooms, each uniquely decorated with the finest furnishings. As a family-owned luxury hotel in St Albans, it is renowned for its warm, intimate atmosphere and personalised service. |
An enjoyable start to our financial year with the remnants of the global pandemic weakening into the distance. We experienced a strong return of visitors to the area and we very much embraced hosting the numerous reunions of friends, families and beyond, sharing our special facilities to help make some lasting memories. |
The luxury hospitality market experienced a strong uplift in average room rates and as a result of this shift in market pricing we experienced an increment in revenues for the year ended June 2024, exceeding our pre-covid trade. |
We continued, as always, to improve our impeccable service and persistent focus on guest experience. |
Having considered the post-pandemic pent-up demand in market conditions and resultant trade and profitability during this financial year, despite the cost pressures experienced across all areas of the hotel, the Directors are satisfied with the results detailed in these accounts. |
Earnings before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortisation amounted to £410,373 (2023: £353,387). |
The company retains a positive combined bank balance of £120,099 (2023: £260,337). |
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |
We have experienced a strong come back to trade in the last year, mostly driven by the increased average room rates as well as the return of international travel, maintaining the Company's profitability. |
We will continue our acute focus on staff training and retention ensuring we deliver the exquisite and personal level of service to which our guests are accustomed. |
The area experienced a continuation of the strong average room rates over the summer season of 2024 and as a result we have seen trade exceed the same period last year. We do however anticipate trade to slow down over the coming months. Despite this, we are still expecting the company to return a profit for the year ended June 2025. |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The directors of the Company meet on a regular basis to evaluate company's risk exposure and risk appetite. The key risks broadly fall into the following categories: |
HEALTH AND SAFETY |
The company pays close attention to matters of health and safety across all facets of its business. During the current year a new improved alarm system was installed.The company continually reviews its processes and procedures and seeks to keep abreast of changes in legislation and best practice. Detailed risk assessments have been undertaken by external bodies on fire, environmental issues and health regulations, to inform the company and ensure best advice is followed. |
REPUTATION |
The company closely monitors feedback forums across various media and is actively engaged in embracing all forms of feedback. The hotel is inspected and rated by the AA and Quality of Tourism, which provide star ratings denoting standards and levels of comfort and service across all aspects of the operation. These unannounced inspections are valued by the business. |

Report of the Directors |
for the Year Ended 30 June 2024 |
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: |
- | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
- | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
- | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. |
AUDITORS |
The auditors BBK Partnership are deemed to be reappointed under section 487(2) of the Companies Act 2006. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
St Michaels Manor Limited |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of St Michaels Manor Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 June 2024 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to the Statement of Cash Flows, Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
In our opinion the financial statements: |
- | give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 30 June 2024 and of its profit for the year then ended; |
- | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
- | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
Basis for opinion |
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
Conclusions relating to going concern |
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. |
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
Other information |
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. |
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. |
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. |
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
- | the information given in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
- | the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
St Michaels Manor Limited |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Report of the Directors. |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: |
- | adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
- | the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
- | certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
- | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
Responsibilities of directors |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page five, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. |
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
St Michaels Manor Limited |
Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements |
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. |
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows: |
- the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities |
and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; |
- we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other |
management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the company's operating sector; |
- we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial |
statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation and data protection, |
anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation; |
- we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of |
management and inspecting legal correspondence; and |
- identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to |
instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. |
We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by: |
- making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of |
actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and |
- considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. |
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: |
- performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; |
- tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; |
- assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates set out in the financial |
statements were indicative of potential bias; and |
- investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. |
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: |
- agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; |
- reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; |
- enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and |
- reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators including the Health and Safety Executive, and the |
company's legal advisors. |
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those |
leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. |
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
St Michaels Manor Limited |
Use of our report |
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in a Report of the Auditors and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. |

The company operates a hotel in St. Albans, Hertfordshire England, providing accommodation, dining and function facilities. |

St Michaels Manor Limited is a |
3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the company and rounded to the nearest £1. |
Significant judgements and estimates |
In the application of the Company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. |
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. |
Critical judgements |
The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements. |
Revenue recognition |
Revenue is recognised upon the date of the provision of services from hotel and restaurant operations, the principal revenue source being the occupation of hotel rooms. The directors consider that this is when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the provision of the service will flow to the entity since only upon guest check-in to the hotel does the hotel have an obligation to the guest to provide a service. |
Tangible assets |
The directors determine whether there are indicators of impairment on the company's tangible assets. In particular since depreciation is not charged on freehold land and buildings the directors assess whether there are indicators of impairment on the freehold land and buildings that would result in a change in the estimate of the residual value of the assets, depreciation method or useful life. Factors taken into consideration in reaching such a decision include changes in market prices and expected future financial performance of the asset. |
Property, plant, and equipment |
Properties that are used, or that the company proposes to use, for the provision of guest accommodation that include a significant level of ancillary services, such as housekeeping and concierge services, are classified under Property, Plant and Equipment and measured accordingly. |

3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Key sources of estimation uncertainty |
The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows. |
Property, plant and equipment |
Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors. In reassessing asset lives and residual value assessments, the directors consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projected disposal values. |
Inventory' provisioning |
The company sells wine and spirits which are subject to change in price due to changing consumer demands and trends. As a result the wine and spirits held by the company are reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that the inventory i.e. held at the lower of cost and estimated selling price. This mitigates the need for an inventory provision. |
Revenue |
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, excluding discounts, rebates and 'value added tax. |
Revenue is recognised for hotel, restaurant, and ancillary services as those services are provided to customers. |
Intangible assets |
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. |
Freehold property | - | Over 300 years |
Plant and machinery | - | 10% on cost |
Fixtures and fittings | - | 10% on cost |
Motor vehicles | - | 20% on cost |
Computer equipment | - | 20% on cost |
The company does not provide for depreciation on its freehold property as the amounts considered to be immaterial and will not have any influence on the financial statements. |
Stocks |
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing stock to its present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out formula. Provision is made for damaged, obsolete and slow-moving stock where appropriate. |

Financial instruments |
Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand and all deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to and insignificant risk of change in value. |
Foreign currency transactions and balances |
Transactions in foreign currency are initially recorded at the functional currency rate prevailing at the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated into the respective financial currency of the entity at the rate prevailing on the reporting period date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the initial transaction dates. Non-monetary items measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. |
Trade debtors |
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. |
Trade creditors |
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payables are classified as current liabilities of the company does not have an unconditional right at the end of the reporting period to refer settlements of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlements for at least twelve months after the reporting date they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
Borrowings |
Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Profit and Loss Account over the period of the relevant borrowing. Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date. |

Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position date. |
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
Employee benefits |
When employees have rendered service to the company, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service. |
The company operates a defined contribution plan for the benefit of its employees. Contributions are expensed as they become payable. |
Loans and borrowings |
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the transaction price including transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment. If an arrangement constitutes a finance transaction it is measured at present value. |
Impairment |
Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset's cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease. |
