Using a simple one to five rating, the new system puts greater emphasis on quality and is based on research which showed exactly what consumers are looking for when choosing accommodation. Based on an assessment by our Inspectors, the more diamonds, the higher the overall quality in areas such as cleanliness, service and hospitality, bedroom comfort, bathroom facilities and food quality. Look out too, for the English Tourism Council's new Gold and Silver Awards . The new ratings are a sign of quality assurance, giving you the confidence to book the accommodation that meets your expectations. To book your break, simply contact the accommodation of your choice.
All entries have telephone numbers, addresses and emails where appropriate.
Advance booking is advisable, especially at busy summer and Christmas periods. Some hotels may ask for a deposit, which may be forfeited if the reservation is cancelled. If you have to cancel, advise the establishment immediately. A selection of accommodation can also be booked by ringing a central telephone number. These are indicated on the information provided for each entry.
