Scottish Tourist Board Grading

The Scottish Tourist Board assessment is on quality of self-catering accommodation in Scotland, rather than on the size or range of facilities on offer. VisitScotland, previously known as the Scottish Tourist Board, has a star system to assess standards for tourists and visitors to Scotland. 5 star is the top level of excellence. You can view Visit Scotland.com for further tourist board grading information.

The assessment of self-catering holiday accommodation gives an indication of cleanliness, hospitality, service, ambience and accommodation standard. There is a scale of 1-5 Stars, and gives reassurance about the quality you can expect before you arrive at your Scottish holiday accommodation. Many cottages have been graded by the STB, it is not a criteria for being listed on this site, but you may find it helpful and reassuring to note the following;

5 stars		Exceptional, world-class
4 stars		Excellent
3 stars		Very good
2 stars		Good

1 star - Fair, acceptable
