Guide to Property Grading System

We work hard to make sure all of the cottages are great value for money. Our vigorous quality control checks allow us to give each cottage a grade based on internal quality and furnishings, giving you a good idea of what it will be like inside. To give you a good indication of the standard of accommodation for our cottages, many of our properties have been graded in line with the requirements of the English Tourism Council’s Star rating scheme:
