Some properties are currently awaiting inspection and their commitment to quality is highlighted by ‘inspection pending’.
The quality of accommodation, rather than just the facilities on offer, comes under the spotlight in the national grading
scheme of the QIT and AA. These organisations jointly ensure their inspectors assess accommodation to the same
consistently high standards. Accommodation taking part in the scheme is visited every year and awarded an official rating.
Hotels
Hotels are given a rating from one
to five stars. One star means an
acceptable level of quality, services
and range of facilities. The more stars
awarded, the higher the quality and
range of facilities and service on offer.
Guest Accommodation
This includes inns, guesthouses,
B&Bs and farmhouses. These are
awarded one to five stars. The more
stars awarded, the higher the quality
of cleanliness, hospitality, bedrooms,
bathrooms and food standards.
