Bowland Inns and Hotels has reported a pre-tax loss of £1.04m for the year ended 31 May 2025, despite revenues increasing by 3% to £25.4m during the period.
The group, which operates 14 hotels and a brewery, revealed in its filing at Companies House that rising interest rates and exceptional costs impact the final result.
Bowland’s interest payments rose 18% during the period, while one-off costs reached £754k – of which £329k was made up of pre-opening expenses.
However, the operator maintains that its operational performance remained steady, with EBITDA remaining largely unchanged at £4.2m. Operating profits increased from £1.06m to £1.39m.
Bowland acquired Wennington Hall, a Grade I-listed former school, which drove the turnover growth following its launch in early 2024 following an extensive refurbishment programme.
Net assets for the group stood at £17.28m at the end of the period, supported by an upward revaluation of land and buildings.
The company also secured a £25m term loan facility with Barclays post-year end in October 2025, moving its financing from previous lender OakNorth.
Management stated that while consolidation and profitability are immediate priorities, the new funding allows for further acquisitions and a return to pre-pandemic growth strategies.
Directors noted that the group is monitoring rising input costs, specifically regarding food, business rates, and the National Minimum Wage increase due in April 2026.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
