ACCOMMODATION DESCRIPTIONS AND RATINGS

Much of the accommodation featured in this guide has been quality assessed by VisitBritain or the AA. Please be aware that ratings may change throughout the year. Consumers have higher expectations and facilities for hotels compared to B&B accommodation. Due to the scheme designator, there are many smaller and personally-run 2 star hotels that are of good and even high quality, yet just lack the facilities a larger hotel can provide. B&B guest accommodation is assessed more by the quality provided than the number of services available.
