VB HHH HotelVisit Britain

AA HHH HotelAA

Self-gradedSG

SG

When searching for a venue for your nextevent, you need to know what levels of quality and service to expect.

Hotels are given a rating from 1 - 5 Stars – themore Stars, the higher the quality and the greaterrange of facilities and level of service provided.VisitBritain and AA has joined forces to provide aharmonised rating system that is your clear guide to what to expect, in an easy-to-understand form. Where hotels have been awarded a VB or AA grading it will appear alongside their listing,e.g. AA ***

However, there is no grading system for management training centres and non-residentialvenues and some of the national hotel chains arenot part of the harmonised grading system. Manyof these properties have their own internal qualitycontrols and self appointed star rating. Please notethat where you do not see the VB, AA symbol but see SG, this grading has been self appointed and does not necessarily meet with the rating qualifications detailed on this page.

Dinner served five nights a week.

One Star H

Dinner available every night of the week.

Two Star HH

All bedrooms en suite (i.e. no private bathrooms)Room service availableReception service 24 hours.

Three Star HHH

24-hour room service50% of all en-suites with bath and shower.

Four Star HHHH

Some permanent luxury suitesEnhanced services such as concierge.

Of course, many lower star-rated hotels may offer some of the above, butjust do not meet all of the expectations for the higher star ratings. Sometimesa hotel has exceptional bedrooms and bathrooms and offers its guests a veryspecial welcome, but cannot achieve a higher star rating because, for example,it does not offer dinner every evening (two star), room service (three star) ordoes not have the minimum 50% of bathrooms with bath and shower (four star).

The Enjoy England professional assessors visit every year, carrying out a routine day visit or an overnight stay in the case of serviced accommodation.On these occasions, they book in as you would, as a normal guest and test allthe facilities and services.

A quality score is awarded for every aspect of the experience including the comfort of the bed, the quality of the breakfast and dinner and, mostimportantly, the cleanliness. They also score the warmth of welcome. Placesthat 'go the extra mile' to make your stay a special one, will be awarded a highstar rating and hotels and guest accommodation may achieve a Gold or Silver award.

Some of our properties have also been awarded the AA red star award which is awarded to the top hotels in the country - these are selected from each of the star-rating levels for their exceptional quality of accommodation and customer service.
