A small family-run Bed & Breakfast in Scarborough has been named best B&B in the UK, the best in Europe and the fourth best in the world.
Toulson Court Bed and Breakfast on Columbus Ravine, Scarborough, has been listed in Tripadvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best Award, consistently receiving rave reviews from their guests.
It’s a bittersweet victory however for James and Angela Rusden who hold the record for having previously been crowned the ‘best B&B in the world’ for three consecutive years.

00:00I'm delighted in the awards that TripAdvisor have given us this year,
00:03fourth in the whole world in the category of bed and breakfast and inns.
00:08It's been a hard slog, but the top three that beat us this year were all hotels,
00:14one from Vietnam, one from Morocco and one for Bali.
00:17And it's amazing to think a bed and breakfast can compete against these hotels in Scarborough
00:22with the facilities and stuff we've got.
00:24But I do want to mention now we've got an unbeaten record of being the best bed and breakfast in the world
00:31for three years on the trot.
00:33We've now been best in Europe for five years and best in the UK for five years running as well.
00:40A nice little quote, I got one out of the broadsheets last year,
00:43is a definition of a B&B in the UK, slightly different to what other people think in the world,
00:49but it's a quiet B&B since it doesn't fit the description of an accommodation in a private home.
00:55So it's accommodation in a private home is our definition of a B&B.
00:58That's what we are.
00:59And obviously we're competing against these hotels in Mauritius, Bali and places like that.
01:03So we've done fantastic. We're way impressed.
