The Scottish Tourist Board Star Rating System

Follow the stars and you won't be disappointed when you get to the inn!

The new Scottish Tourist Board Star System is a world-first. Quality is what determines our star awards, not a checklist of facilities. We've made your priorities our priorities.

Quality makes or breaks a visit. This is why the most important aspects of your stay: the warmth of welcome, efficiency and friendliness of service, the quality of the food and the cleanliness and condition of the furnishings, fittings and decor earn Scottish Tourist Board Stars, not the size of the accommodation or the range of available
facilities.

This easy to understand system tells you at a glance the quality standard of all types and sizes of accommodation from the smallest B&B and self-catering cottage to the largest country-side and city centre hotels.

Look out for this distinctive sign of Quality Assured Accommodation

A trained Scottish Tourist Board inspector grades each property every year to give you the reassurance that you can choose accommodation of the quality standard you want.
