Quality you can trust

Hotels have to provide certain additional facilities and services at the higher star levels. These include:

One Star H Dinner served five nights a week.

Key 1 2

Map Reference Star Rating 1-5 (See opposite)

Number of Bedrooms

Two Star HH When searching for a venue for your next event, you need to know what levels of quality and service to expect. Hotels are given a rating from 1 - 5 Stars – the more Stars, the higher the quality and the greater range of facilities and level of service provided. VisitBritain and AA has joined forces to provide a harmonised 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-residential venues and some of the national hotel chains are not part of the harmonised grading system. Many of these properties have their own internal quality controls and self appointed star rating. Please note that 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.

VB HHH Hotel Visit Britain

AA HHH Hotel AA

3 62 Bedrooms

Five Star HHHHH Some permanent luxury suites Enhanced services such as concierge. Of course, many lower star-rated hotels may offer some of the above, but just do not meet all of the expectations for the higher star ratings. Sometimes a hotel has exceptional bedrooms and bathrooms and offers its guests a very special welcome, but cannot achieve a higher star rating because, for example, it does not offer dinner every evening (two star), room service (three star) or does 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 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. 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. 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.

Nestling on the edge of Ansty Village is the Ansty Hall Hotel overlooking the picturesque rolling Warwickshire countryside, Ansty Hall is beautifully situated for business meetings and conferences with Coventry, Warwick and Rugby all within easy reach. All this and only 2 minutes away from Junction 2 of the M6 makes the Ansty Hall Hotel the perfect place from which to access the whole of the UK. The hotel boasts a wide range of rooms which can be styled to suit your needs and also offers comprehensive delegate packages. • • • •

Warwick Castle Warwick C3

Warwick Castle is a masterpiece of mediaeval architecture set in 60 acres of beautiful grounds in the heart of England. Over the last thousand years the Castle has echoed to the sound of lavish entertainment and society dinners. The Castle offers you a unique setting for a wide variety of unforgettable events that will delight you and your guests. The 14th Century Great Hall and 18th Century State Dining Room were designed to entertain on a grand scale. The magnificent Great Hall lies at the very heart of the Castle. Used for generations by the Earls of Warwick to entertain guests it presents a magnificent venue for dinner dances, awards dinners and receptions. The ornately decorated State Dining Room is perfect for smaller events. In the summer months your guests can use the Central Courtyard for pre-dinner drinks. The Georgian Coach House offers you a meeting room of real character and can seat up to 70

delegates theatre style with two separate areas for reception and refreshments. The historic Pageant Field is perfect for team building and can be used for large marquees for up to 2,000 guests for spectacular dinners or 5,000 for a corporate family fun day. A smaller marquee utilising the classically proportioned Conservatory, which overlooks the neatly manicured Peacock Garden, is also available to you and offers a stunning setting for dinners and receptions. Our themed dining events which include the Kingmaker's Mediaeval Banquet, the Highwayman's Supper and the new Dungeons After Dark dining experience are a popular choice with event organisers who are looking for an original themed evening packed with fun and entertainment.
