GRADING HOLIDAY ACCOMMODATION FOR QUALITY AND COMFORT
Visit Scotland have a Quality Assurance Scheme which lets you know about both the quality and range of the facilities offered. The distinctive plaques are awarded after an annual visit from the inspectors. Star’s are awarded from a range of 1 to 5 stars, this will show the quality standard of each property. In addition, 4 & 5 Star properties are expected to provide a small number of key facilities in order to meet quality standards.
