Strategic Report for the Period from 1 January 2024 to 29 December 2024
The directors present their strategic report for the period from 1 January 2024 to 29 December 2024.
Principal activity
The principal activity of the company is operation of a hotel establishment.
Fair review of the business
Turnover in the 52 weeks ended 29 December 2024 rose by 3.3% to £7.158m (2023: £6.927m). The small rise in turnover was largely due to lower room and spa income being offset by an increase in spend on food and drink.
In the 52-week period ended 29 December 2024 occupancy averaged 64% (2023: 66%) and the ADR was £152.67 (2023: £159.46). The gross profit margin fell significantly to 33.6% (2023: 38.4%) due to increases in wages and salary costs in the year. Administrative expenses however fell by 2.8% helped by a significant fall in utility costs albeit they are still at levels well above pre-pandemic levels. Overall, this meant that EBITDA in the period was a loss of £88,380 (2023: profit £49,754).
During the year the company continued its refurbishment of more hotel bedrooms as part of its objective to make it more appealing to a wider group of potential guests and make it less reliant on particular segments of the market. It also sought to make the hotel more appealing on a year-round basis.
The company uses various key performance indicators to analyse the business on a monthly basis. The KPI's which the directors consider to be most important to understand operating trends over the reporting period are shown below:
Turnover £7,157,599 (2023: £6,927,438)
Occupancy 63.9% (2023: 66.1%)
Average Daily Rate (ADR) £152.67 (2023: £159.46)
EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, Tax and Depreciation) loss £88,380 (2023: profit £49,754)
The ethos of the company continues to be underpinned by a passion for protecting the environment and business decisions are taken to ensure that the impact on the planet is at the forefront of the mind. There is much discussion about the responsibility that the business has beyond simply its financial performance and the company seeks to carefully balance the importance of delivering profits alongside investing in its people and ensuring that decisions are taken in the long-term best interests of the company and the environment.

Strategic Report for the Period from 1 January 2024 to 29 December 2024
Principal risks and uncertainties
The board of directors undertake a regular review of the company and have identified that the principal risks facing the company relate to competition and the effects of the current economic climate.
The company has worked hard over recent years to try to ensure that the hotel has become more of a year-round destination so as to smooth out the impact that seasonality has on the business although the summer months will still be key to the company's overall success. It is vital that the hotel maintains very high standards and continues to invest in its facilities in order that we can provide our guests with a memorable experience during their stay. The company seeks to mitigate this risk by ensuring that it provides an offer that is considered to be excellent value for money and significant effort and investment is made to create an environment that provides guests with a range of internal and external spaces that enable them to have a relaxing and enjoyable stay that will hopefully mean that our guests choose to return on a regular basis.
The quality of our staff is key to the success of the business. We aim to ensure that we invest in our teams and compensate them appropriately thereby facilitating a positive working environment which aids staff retention and seeks to deliver our guests with a high level of customer service. All employees are paid at least the Real Living Wage.
There continues to be ongoing pressure on consumer’s disposable incomes and we are very mindful of the need to ensure that the prices that we charge are fair and reasonable for our services and our guests consider them to be good value for money.
Future developments
Despite the challenges the Directors are committed to ensuring that they continue to invest in the facilities and the team who work in the business. The Directors expect that the cost of living challenges, the vagaries of the British weather and the appetite for potential guests to visit Cornwall will have an impact on the company.

Directors' Report for the Period from 1 January 2024 to 29 December 2024
The directors present their report and the financial statements for the period from 1 January 2024 to 29 December 2024.
Directors of the company
The directors who held office during the period were as follows:
Financial instruments
Objectives and policies
The company's principal financial instruments comprise the bank balance, trade creditors and trade debtors. The main purpose of these instruments is to raise funds for the company's operations.
Price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow risk
The company's approach to managing risks applicable to the financial instruments is shown below.
In respect of the bank balance, the liquidity risk is managed by maintaining a balance between the continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank borrowings at various rates of interest.
Trade debtors are managed in respect of credit and cash flow by policies concerning the credit offered to customers and the regular monitoring of amounts outstanding for both time and credit limits. The amounts presented in the balance sheet are net of allowances for doubtful debts.
Trade creditors liquidity risk is managed by ensuring that sufficient funds are available to meet amounts due.
Employment of disabled persons
Applications for employment by disabled persons are always fully considered, bearing in mind the aptitudes of the applicant concerned. In the event of members of staff becoming disabled, every effort is made to ensure that their employment within the group continues and that the appropriate training is arranged. It is the policy of the group that the training, career development and promotion of disabled persons should, as far as possible, be identical to that of other employees.
Employee involvement
The group's policy is to consult and discuss with employees matters likely to affect employees' interests.
Information on matters of concern to employees is given through information bulletins and reports which seek to achieve common awareness of the part of all employees of the financial and economic factors affecting the group's performance.
There is no employee share scheme at present.

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities
The directors acknowledge their responsibilities for preparing the Annual Report 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). 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 apply them consistently; |
|
• |
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
|
• |
state whether applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and |
|
• |
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 and in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). 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.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Bedruthan Hotel Limited
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Bedruthan Hotel Limited (the 'company') for the period from 1 January 2024 to 29 December 2024, which comprise the Profit and Loss Account, Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, and 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 29 December 2024 and of its loss for the period 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 auditor 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.
Other matters
The financial statements of the company for the year end 31 December 2023 were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on 11 September 2024.
Conclusions relating to going concern
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 company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were 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 included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report 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.
Bedruthan Hotel Limited
(Registration number: 04658838)
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Bedruthan Hotel Limited
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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.
Opinion on other matter 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 Directors' Report for the financial period for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
|
• |
the Strategic Report and Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of our 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 and the Directors' Report.
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 6], 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 is 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.
Auditor 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 an auditor’s report 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.
Bedruthan Hotel Limited
(Registration number: 04658838)
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Bedruthan Hotel Limited
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.
The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud
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 hospitality and tourism 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, data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental, fire safety, Licensing Act 2003 and health and safety legislation; |
|
• |
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management, reviewing licenses, certificates and relevant correspondence including the inspection of 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 were indicative of potential bias; and |
|
• |
investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. |
Bedruthan Hotel Limited
(Registration number: 04658838)
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Bedruthan Hotel Limited
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 and the company’s legal advisors. |
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
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 an auditor’s report 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.

Accounting policies |
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Period from 1 January 2024 to 29 December 2024
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing material adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below:
a) Useful economic lives and residual values of tangible assets
The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re-assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. See note 12 for the carrying amount of the tangible fixed assets.
Revenue recognition
Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and provision of services in the ordinary course of the company’s activities. Turnover is shown net of sales/value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts. The company recognises revenue when, the amount of revenue can be reliably measured and it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity. As such revenue in relation to accommodation, spa, food and beverages are recognised in the period in which the service has been provided to the customer. Deposits received in advance of the service being provided are held within other creditors and released on provision of the service.
Tax
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates taxable income.
Deferred income tax is recognised on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements and on unused tax losses or tax credits in the company. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and a valuation allowance is set up against deferred tax assets so that the net carrying amount equals the highest amount that is more likely than not to be recovered based on current or future taxable profit.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.
Depreciation
Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

|
Fixtures fittings and equipment |
4-10% straight line basis |
|

25% straight line basis |
Freehold land is not depreciated. The hotel buildings are maintained, as a matter of policy, by a programme of repair and refurbishment such that the residual value is at least equal to the book value. The residual value is based on the estimated amount that would be currently obtainable from disposal of the asset net of disposal costs if the asset were already of the age and condition expected at the end of its useful life.
An assessment of the hotel's residual value is performed at the end of each reporting period. In addition, the directors' policy is to ensure that the annual budget for repair and refurbishment projects takes into account matters raised in the annual impairment review.
Having regard to this, the directors are of the opinion that depreciation on the hotel buildings would not be material.
Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stocks are impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell; the impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Period from 1 January 2024 to 29 December 2024
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 payable are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement 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.
Leases
Leases in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis.
Defined contribution pension obligation
A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
