Cheap Hotels Somerset & Cheap Bed And Breakfast Somerset - Accommodation Grading

Most B&B accommodation, alongside hotels, holiday lodges, caravan & camping parks and self catering holiday cottages in Somerset are graded by the English Tourist Board using the five Star grading system. If from the start an accommodation, including Somerset B&Bs, scores less than 60 percent on assessment then they will not be graded. That means even a one star B&B has scored over 60 percent!

Quality assessment is based on exterior appearance, comfort and quality, interior décor, service and welcoming ambience and fashion, i.e. Contemporary or traditional. A one star grading represents an Acceptable standard, with cleanliness guaranteed. Two stars signifies the accommodation is of a good all round standard whilst three stars signifies the accommodation is of a very good standard, with attention to detail in all areas of decor, cleanliness and service. Four stars is moving towards the luxury accommodation scale, signifying an excellent all round standard with high quality materials and food plus friendly service and welcome. Finally, five stars signifies the accommodation is exceptions, with luxury standards, superb presentation and ambience, excellent food in five star hotels and B&Bs Somerset and impeccable service.

Other grading schemes operate in Somerset including the Welcome Schemes which complement the 1 to 5 star quality ratings. These often signify a B&B is geared towards cyclists or walkers. The Green Tourism Business Scheme (GTBS) award businesses with bronze, silver and gold symbols to signify that the accommodation is making sustainable and environmental efforts in running an environmentally friendly business. You'll find many bed and breakfast accommodation in Somerset being much more environmentally aware than other parts of the country. In fact the GTBS is running across the whole of the South West of England now. For cheap caravan holiday homes the Visit Britain grading scheme still applies. Disability symbols are also awarded and include symbols for unassisted wheelchair access, assisted wheelchair access and access for visitors with mobility difficulties.
