Classification
The English Tourism Council’s (ETC) star ratings will help you choose the accommodation that’s right for you. Assessors have been visiting flats, houses, cottages and serviced apartments on your behalf assessing quality, including comfort, space, facilities and most important of all, cleanliness. The brand new quality rating system is easy to use and is based on extensive research. So when you choose a Star-rated property you can rest assured that your expectations will be met or even exceeded.

Quite simply, the more Stars, the higher the overall level of quality you can expect to find. Establishments at higher rating levels also have to meet some additional requirements for facilities. All properties have to meet an extensive list of minimum requirements before they can be considered for a Star rating. From there, increased levels of quality apply. For instance, you’ll find acceptable quality at One Star, good to very good quality at Three Star and exceptional quality at Five Star.

• One Star - Acceptable overall level of quality. Adequate provision of furniture, furnishings and fittings.
• Two Star - Good overall level of quality. All units are self-contained with 2 bathrooms where there are eight or more guests.
• Three Star - Good to very good level of quality. Good standard of maintenance and decoration. Ample space and good quality furniture. All double beds with access from both sides. Microwaves.
• Four Star - Excellent overall level of quality. Very good care and attention to detail will be obvious throughout. Either access to washing machine and drier, if not provided in the unit, or a 24 hour laundry service.
• Five Star - Exceptional overall level of quality. High levels of décor, fixtures and fittings. Excellent standards of management efficiency and guest services. Excellent range of accessories and personal touches.
