Never has quality meant so much

All the accommodation featured on this site has been quality assessed by either VisitBritain or the AA, or has recently applied for a rating and is awaiting assessment. Please be aware that ratings may change throughout the year.

To confirm a VisitBritain rating please visit www.enjoyEngland.com or telephone VisitBritain on 020 8563 3309 or email: feedback@visitbritain.org.

To confirm an AA rating please visit www.theAA.com or telephone: 01256 844455 or email: customer.services@theAA.com.

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.

When choosing your accommodation look for the Quality Rose, the official marque of the Enjoy England national tourist board rating scheme.

Professional assessors visit every year, carrying out a routine day visit or, in case of serviced accommodation, an overnight stay. On these occasions, they book in as a normal guest and test all the 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, most importantly, the cleanliness. They also score the warmth of welcome.

Gold Award Places that 'go the extra mile' to make your stay a special one, will be awarded a high star rating and hotels and guest accommodation may achieve a Gold or Silver award or, in case of the AA, a Highly Commended award featuring red stars (hotels) or yellow stars (guest accommodation).

Silver Award Higher star-rated accommodation tends to have more spacious bedrooms and bathrooms, and in hotels a higher staff to guest ratio, so service should be very attentive. At five star, you can really expect to be pampered in luxurious surroundings.
