A freezer will also be a requirement at 4 star.

GB - the downloadable document on quality standards clearly states that

4 star
• Freezer space available (3*** icebox in a fridge is acceptable).

5 Star
• Freezer provided within the unit (icebox not acceptable at this level).

the same info is given on the AKH site.

I didn't seem to receive the issue of Quality Update you refer to so i wonder if you could clarify exactly what they said about this change?

Hi Windy

Sorry for the delay - been away for a few days and I'm only now catching up on the essentials, and got distracted trying to produce an origami Brazilian from a loo roll.

The Quality Update leaflet (July) has an article on forthcoming changes to the standards for self-catering, and apparently we "can expect to receive confirmation of the changes in late autumn".

There are some bullet points under the heading of "Likely changes" which includes the line "A freezer required at four-star." It doesn't go any further.

I've scanned the article and will send it to you. If anyone else is interested let me know by PM.

many thanks GB - received
