Assessors Awards & Special Mentions

Our assessors have the very challenging task of visiting thousands of properties throughout the year, not only to verify results for the accommodation awards, but also to assess properties for the AA Quality Assured endorsement programme. It may sound rather glamorous, but anyone who is on the road more than they are at home, will tell you that this is certainly not the case. During their visits, they come across some truly magical establishments that touch them personally, and this is what the assessor's special mentions are all about.
