Accreditations

Visit Scotland ended their long standing, independent, inspector led, accreditation and quality assurance scheme in 2024 and all Visit Scotland star ratings should have been removed by 31 March 2025.

We value independent quality assurance as much as a management tool as for marketing and we therefore have transferred to the AA accreditation scheme. Our first unannounced inspection was in June, and we received Three Star Silver which means that we are highly commended within the three star category. Our highest scores were for hospitality, cleanliness and food.

Eddrachilles Hotel is accredited by the Living Wage Foundation and has signed up to the Good Business Charter.
