Guide to Accommodation Grading

All accommodation establishments featured in this Guide have been quality assessed by either VisitBritain or the AA, (both nationally approved inspection agencies), or have recently applied and are awaiting assessment.

Using a simple ‘1 to 5 stars’ rating this grading system puts emphasis on quality. The more ‘stars’ the higher the overall quality guests can expect to find. The star rating scheme replaces the previously used diamond rating scheme.
The VisitBritain scheme also awards Gold and Silver ratings to properties that exceed their designated rating.
The AA uses a 1 to 5 ‘pennant’ rating scheme for caravan &camping sites.
Ratings may change during the year. To confirm a rating for VisitBritain telephone 0208 563 3309 or visit www.enjoyEngland.com. For the AA telephone 01256 844455 or visit www.theAA.com.

It is advisable to check and confirm all details with the accommodation establishment at the time of enquiry/booking, as these may be subject to change without notice.

Complaints

If you have a complaint you should bring this to the attention of the establishment at the time, which allows the matter to be rectified. If the problem remains unresolved the complaint should be addressed to the appropriate inspection body.
