With such highly regarded and trusted bodies and organisations such as The AA and the English Tourism Council, these awards and ratings reflect what the accommodation standard is.

According to the AA, a five star Guest House needs to demonstrate an awareness of each guest's needs with nothing being too much trouble. The full package is required for example a hotel in Windermere with a five star guest house rating should have bedrooms all with en-suite or private bathrooms, excellent quality beds and bedding and furnishings within the room and bathroom. Along with the bedrooms, the gust accommodation must have public rooms such a lounge or a snug for the guest to use during their stay. Again, these areas should be clean, well furnished and with little extras within.

Food is always at the forefront of a stay at a five star guest accommodation venue. To gain the five star rating the hotel or guest house should have an excellent menu and wine list. This shows extra quality and attention to detail from the owners. For breakfast, the AA are looking for home-made items within the menu and top quality ingredients. For example, a Windermere guest house has just received the five star rating and they offer the highest quality, locally sourced produce for their breakfast along with home-made items and freshly brewed Italian coffee.

Comfort in an establishment is now high on an AA inspector's requirements. It used to be found that the decor and food were the main focuses but now the comfort and welcome of guest accommodation is as high. The standards of service and hospitality will be highlighted by the inspector and not just looking at the owners but also the other members of staff making sure they are demonstrating a friendly, welcoming attitude and spontaneity of service.

A five star AA award reflects the time, efforts and funding out into an establishment with many of the five star awarded properties upgrading bathrooms bedrooms in order to achieve it. The attention to detail and the way a business looks on current trends for their decor and also the understanding of their clients to produce a high quality finish and exquisite comfort.
