The AA and Visit Britain use a simple 1-5 star system.
Hotels, Guest Accommodation, which includes B&B's, Guesthouses, Farmhouses and Inns are given a rating of from one to five stars, the more stars the higher the quality and the greater the range of facilities and level of services provided.
Look out for the Visit Britain Gold and Silver Awards which are given to those establishments which not only achieve the overall quality required from their rating, but also reach the highest levels of quality in those specific areas which guests identify as being really important for them.
Self-Catering, such as converted barns and waterside apartments. The one to five star ratings on these properties reflect the level of quality you can expect, properties with higher ratings also have to meet additional requirements for facilities.
Camping and Caravan Sites and Holiday Parks, whether you bring your own tent, camper or caravan, or choose to hire a caravan or chalet. The star ratings show the quality of Sites and Parks ranging from one star/ pennant for acceptable quality to 5 stars/ pennants for exceptional quality.
