WHEN YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO STAY, YOU NEED RATINGS YOU CAN TRUST.

VisitBritain's ratings are your clear guide to what to expect, in an easy to understand form. Properties are visited annually by our trained, impartial assessors, so you can have confidence that your accommodation has been thoroughly checked and rated for quality before you make a booking. All advertisements in this guide have been inspected and awarded a rating by VisitBritain.

HOTELS are given a simple rating from one to five stars – the more stars the higher the quality and the greater range of services provided.

GUEST ACCOMMODATION, which includes guesthouses, B&Bs, inns and farmhouses are now rated from one to five stars. All newly inspected properties will carry the star rating, whereas those inspected prior to the change, will be rated from one to five diamonds. Progressively higher levels of quality and customer care must be provided for each of the one to five diamond/ star ratings.

SELF-CATERING accommodation is also awarded star ratings from one to five. The higher the rating, the higher the level of quality you can expect.

GOLD AND SILVER AWARDS
These are awarded to properties that not only achieve their overall rating but also exceed the expectations within their rating level. The awards recognise the high level of comfort, cleanliness, hospitality and service afforded.

Silver – this award recognises high quality in all areas of the business, with very good levels of customer care.

Gold – properties achieving a Gold award will demonstrate exceptional levels of quality, comfort, cleanliness, hospitality and attentive service.
