The company was negatively impacted by the Covid pandemic, Brexit, staffing shortages, and increased national insurance contributions, as reported by the P&J. The closure of the rural business has led to the loss of four jobs. Ardrhu House Ltd stopped trading in March and the directors were left with no option but to contact liquidators. Allan Cadman and Charles Brook of Xeinadin Corporate Recovery have been tasked with winding up the company. Ardrhu House Ltd customers with outstanding bookings through third-party platforms are advised to check refunds via those businesses or their credit card providers. Other creditors can contact the liquidators directly, but refunds are unlikely at this stage. Mr Cadman said: 'The impact of the pandemic and then staffing issues and Brexit meant that Ardrhu House Ltd was never able to fully recover and improve their financial position. 'We explored every option with the business, but there was no choice for it but to enter a liquidation.' Ardrhu House, a separate entity from Ardrhu House Ltd, is now on the market for offers over £1.5 million.
