The Scottish Tourist Board award is your assurance of quality, giving you an independant assessment of our standards. As a body, they assess not only accommodation but also Visitor Attractions, Parks, Eating Places etc. Wherever you see this logo, you can be assured of a certain standard. With a rating system from 1 to 5 stars, at Gadgirth we are understandably proud to display our 4 star achievement, assuring you of excellence within each property.     As you would expect Gadgirth Estate is a full member of Visit Scotland (formerly The Scottish Tourist Board ) the official tourist organisation of Scotland, working with all local tourist authorities to promote all aspects of tourism within Scotland.     Welcome Host is a customer care programme and for Gadgirth Estate to display this logo means 50% or more of our staff have completed this programme run by the Local Tourist Board. It aims to provide a framework for local businesses to work together in upgrading standards of service and hospitality in Scotland.     Again, as you would expect Gadgirth Estate are full members of the Ayrshire & Arran Tourist Board. The Board's role is to provide the focus for tourism activity at a local level. The board brings together the public and private sectors locally and provides a vital link between the national and area level.
