Ratings System Explanation
The ratings system is very useful for selecting the quality of service of Hotel of Guesthouse that you would like to book with. There have been recent changes to the ratings systems and the new system is explained below.
There are currently two ratings systems used by Hotels and Guesthouses in the Association. Hotels and Guesthouses can only be in one of the ratings or choose not to be in at all. English Tourism Council Diamond Ratings (Each higher rating includes what is indicated in the ratings below)
	One Diamond Clean accommodation, providing acceptable comfort and quality with functional decor and a helpful service. As a minimum, a full cooked or continental breakfast is provided. Other meals, if prepared, will be freshly cooked. Towels are provided and heating and hot water will be available at reasonable times.
	Two Diamond A sound overall level of quality and customer care in all areas.
	Three Diamond A good overall level of quality in all areas such as comfortable bedrooms, well maintained, practical decor, the choice of items at breakfast, customer care and all-round comfort. Where other meals are provided these will be freshly cooked from good quality ingredients.
	Four Diamond A very good level of quality in all areas. Customer care showing very good attention to your needs.

"Royal Automobile Association" Hotels Ratings
	One Star Hotels in this classification are likely to be small and independently owned, with a family atmosphere. Services may be provided by the owner and family on an informal basis. There may be a limited range of facilities and meals may be fairly simple. Lunch, for example, may not be served. Some bedrooms may not have en suite bath/shower rooms. Maintenance, cleanliness and comfort should, however, always be of an acceptable standard.
	Two Star In this classification hotels will typically be small to medium sized and offer more extensive facilities than at the one star level. Some business hotels come into the two star classification and guests can expect comfortable, well equipped, overnight accommodation, usually with an en-suite bath/shower room. Reception and other staff will aim for a more professional presentation that at the one star level, and offer a wider range of straightforward services, including food and drink.
	Three Star At this level, hotels are usually of a size to support higher staffing levels, and a significantly greater quality and range of facilities than at the lower star classifications. Reception and the other public rooms will be more spacious and the restaurant will normally also cater for non-residents. All bedrooms will have fully en suite bath and shower rooms and offer a good standard of comfort and equipment, such as a hair dryer, direct dial telephone, toiletries in the bathroom. Some room service can be expected, and some provision for business travelers.
	Four Star Expectations at this level include a degree of luxury as well as quality in the furnishings, decor and equipment, in every area of the hotel. Bedrooms will also usually offer more space than at the lower star levels, and well designed, coordinated furnishings and decor. The en-suite bathrooms will have both bath and fixed shower. There will be a high enough ratio of staff to guests to provide services like porterage, 24-hour room service, laundry and dry-cleaning. The restaurant will demonstrate a serious approach to its cuisine.
