National Quality Assessment Scheme - Self-Catering


All accommodation with its own kitchen and bathroom facilities. Most take bookings by the week, generally from a Friday or Saturday but short breaks are increasingly common.
*Indicative of rating achieved

Scheme Designators have been developed to help consumers understand the different types of accommodation available.

There are no separate designators in Self-Catering, as it relies on the star ratings to differentiate.
If you are interested in gaining Quality Assessment for your Self-Catering Agency please contact the Sales and Marketing team on the Quality in Tourism e-mail.
