The AA has today announced its latest round of AA red star winners, with two hotels awarded the maximum five red stars in a virtual ceremony this morning: Gilpin Hotel & Lake House in Windermere, Cumbria, and Grantley Hall in Ripon, North Yorkshire.

Four red stars were given to Fischer’s Baslow Hall in Derbyshire, the Blakeney hotel in Norfolk and the Queensberry hotel in Bath, Somerset, while the Pig at Harlyn Bay in Padstow, Cornwall, received three red stars.

With the public looking forward to travelling further afield once again, it is inspiring to see hotels like these offering impeccable service and exceptional stays, providing guests with a comfortable and reassuring return to the hospitality sector.”
