Scotland’s Star Quality!- A simple, impartial, consistent approach to quality

VisitScotland, under the Scottish Tourist Board brand, runs the star grading schemes which assess the quality standards of all types of accommodation and visitor attractions from castles and historic houses to garden centres and arts venues. We quality assure over 70 percent of the accommodation in Scotland and 90 percent of the visitor attractions – so wherever you want to stay or visit, we’ve got it covered. Each establishment is reviewed once a year. We do the hard work so you can relax and enjoy your holiday.

How does the system work?

Our advisors visit and assess establishments on up to 50 areas from quality, comfort and cleanliness to welcome, ambience and service. The same star scheme runs in England and Wales, so you can follow the stars wherever you go.

It should be noted that those establishments that fail to meet our minimum standards will not be awarded a star rating.

Graded visitor attractions

Visitor attractions from tourist shops and museums to leisure centres and tours are graded with 1 - 5 stars depending on their level of customer care. The focus is on the standard of hospitality and service as well as presentation, quality of shop or café (if there is one) and toilet facilities.

The promise of the stars: it is clean, tidy and an acceptable

standard

it is a good, all round standard

it is a very good standard, with attention to detail in every area

it is excellent – furnished using high quality materials, superb food where provided and friendly, professional service

an exceptional standard where presentation, ambience, food where provided and service are hard to fault

Establishments awarded gold stars have consistently achieved the highest levels of excellence within their star grading.

A consistent standard wherever you stay

We grade all types of accommodation from hostels, through to B&Bs and self catering properties to hotels grand and small. We even grade campus accommodation and parks offering holiday homes and camping. So whether you prefer to spend the night under canvas or the canopy of a four-poster bed, we’ll make sure you know the standard to expect.

QualityAssurance

We want you to feel welcome

VisitScotland has developed Welcome Schemes to complement the Star Quality Assurance grades. These schemes tell you about establishments which pay particular attention to the specific needs of these visitors. As well as the established Walkers Welcome and Cyclists Welcome schemes, there are similar schemes for:

Anglers Bikers

Classic Cars Golfers

Children Field Sports

Groups Ancestral Tourism

This means that a bothy or bod has been inspected

The Thistle symbol recognises a high standard of Holiday Park

This means individual caravan holiday homes have been assessed

New Holiday Parks scheme

This year VisitScotland introduces our new Holiday Parks Quality Assurance scheme. The star awards now better reflect the aspects which impact on your enjoyment of your Scottish park holiday, the things that you told us are important to you. This has resulted in changes to the level of awards given to some parks but you can still be assured of the same high level of customer service and all the facilities you’ve become accustomed to.

Because we care

The Green Tourism Business Scheme has been championing sustainable tourism in the UK, and has become the largest and most successful scheme of its type in the world.

Businesses that work in a sustainable, environmentally friendly way are graded:

Bronze , Silver or Gold .

www.green-business.co.uk

The very best of food and drink

EatScotland is a nationwide food Quality Assurance scheme from VisitScotland.

Only those operators who meet the EatScotland quality standards are accredited to the scheme so look out for the logo to ensure you visit some of Scotland’s best, quality eating establishments.

Those with extra special standards of food are awarded EatScotland Silver or Gold .

We assess the presentation, quality and service of food in every kind of eating establishment in Scotland from fish and chip shops to pubs, takeaways and top class restaurants. Whether you’re looking for a family friendly bar or a romantic restaurant, EatScotland gives a reliable, authoritative and comprehensive guide to eating out in Scotland.

Look out too for the new Scotland’s Best Bars scheme, assuring the quality of the vast range of bars and pubs on offer.
