Hotels, Guest Houses and Farmhouses
If you're booking hotel or guest house-style accommodation in Wales, you'll need to know about the Wales Tourist Board's STAR QUALITY GRADING scheme:
 |
Exceptional quality |
 |
Excellent quality |
 |
Very Good quality |
 |
Good quality |
 |
Fair to Good quality |
The type of accommodation followed by its Star rating will be displayed on the establishments own plaques and signs as well as within holiday brochures - for example
Accommodation Categories
These are Hotels, Country Hotel, Guest House, Bed and Breakfast, Country House, Farm, Inn, Lodge, Restaurant with Rooms, Hostel-Bunkhouse-Camping Barn, Campus, Conference Centre and Activity Centre.
Prices are per person per night based on two people sharing a room. Supplements are payable on single rooms.
Self-Catering Accommodation
The star grades spell out the quality. They range from 1 star (fair to good quality) to 5 stars (exceptionally high quality). The grades reflect the overall quality of furnishings and decoration, not facilities. 3, 4 and 5 star accommodation will be entirely self-contained.
Caravan Holiday Home Parks
(including Touring Caravans & Camping Parks)
The star grade reflects the overall quality of the park. This scheme allows a small park to achieve a top grade if what it offers is of a very high standard. The 5 star grade is reserved for those parks of exceptional quality, and which also provide specific facilities or service.
Award Winners

Welcome Host
