VISITENGLAND 4 STAR SELF-CATERING

VisitEngland 4 Star Self-catering

All the national assessing bodies (VisitEngland*, VisitScotland, Visit Wales and the AA) now assess hotels and guest accommodation (including B&Bs) to the same criteria and award one to five stars. The star ratings reflect the overall quality of the experience. When choosing your accommodation look for the Quality Rose, the official marque of the Enjoy England national tourist board rating scheme.

Additional information on this classification scheme is available from VisitEngland.

Notes

  • Please note that apt 2 has no steps into the property but there is a step up to to the toilet and bath. We have lots of guests who use this apt with limited mobility but unfortunately the interior doors are not wide enough for full sized wheelchair. There is an area in the hallway where an electric chair can be stored when not in use and Whitby DAG will provide a ramp (as lip through the door) and chair/bike for your use.
