Accommodation Ratings

All accommodation listed on this website has been inspected by one of the ratings authorities (Visit Britain or the AA) or has recently applied for a rating and is awaiting assessment. Please be aware ratings may change throughout the year.

All the national assessing bodies now assess hotels and guest accommodation (including B&Bs) to the same criteria, and award one to five stars. The star ratings reflect the overall quality of the experience:

Hotels have to be licensed, offer dinner at least 5 nights a week (unless categorised as a Metro Hotel) and have all rooms en suite or with private bathrooms.

The different Hotel categories are: Hotel, Country House Hotel, Metro Hotel, Town House Hotel and Budget Hotel.
