Annual visitsare made and, in the case of hotels and guestaccommodation, this involves a ‘mystery shop’overnight stay at least every other year tothoroughly check out the service, hospitality,food and cleanliness, as well as the standard andcomfort of the accommodation. All participatingestablishments are awarded between one andfive stars. The more stars, the higher the qualityand range of services and facilities provided.Some properties, eg hotel chains such asTravelodge, have been assessed to ensure theymeet minimum standards of cleanliness andmaintenance, but are not scored for quality, so nostar ratings are awarded. Some properties wereawaiting a quality assessment grading at the timeof going to print.Gold and Silver awardsVisitEngland recognises the top scoringproperties at all star ratings by awarding Silverand Gold awards. These are for B&Bs, hotels,self-catering accommodation and servicedapartments that are the ‘best of the best’.For full details of VisitEngland’s assessmentschemes, see visitengland.com/eeAccessibility informationFull details of hotels offering accessiblerooms suitable for wheelchair userstravelling independently can be found atvisitlondon.com/access andinclusivelondon.comHotels rated as accessible will have beenthoroughly assessed by Direct Enquiries Ltdagainst relevant criteria and are committed toaccessibility.
