VisitEngland 4 Star Farmhouse

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.

Notes

  • We are a working farm with a family room. There are a number of steps up to the main entrance and 1 into the room. However when you are in the room everything is on one level. The shower cubicle has a small step into it.<br />The route to the dining room also requires the user to negotiate the step out of the bedroom, cross the footpath past the front door and negotiate 2 steps into the dining room.<br />It has been used in the past by guests with mobility issues but is not ideal.
