Quality You Can Trust... 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 the range of facilities and level of service provided. VisitBritain (VB) and the AA have joined forces to provide a harmonised rating system that is your clear guide as to what to expect, in an easy-to-understand format. 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 or 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. The long-established Rosette scheme recognises successful cooking at different levels across the UK.

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

Dinner served five nights a week



Dinner available every night of the week

 All bedrooms en-suite (i.e. no shared bathrooms) Room service available Reception service 24 hour  24-hour room service 50% of all en-suites with bath and shower  Some permanent luxury suites Enhanced services such as concierge Of course, some lower-star rated hotels may offer some of the above, but just do not meet all of the expectations for the higher star ratings. 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.
