Scarborough B&B Named Worlds Second Best

A Scarborough B&B has been named as the best in Europe and the second best on the planet.

The Toulson court had topped the global table for Bed and Breakfasts for the last three years in Tripadvisors Travellers Choice awards.

Proprietor - James Rusden - says it's great to pick up another award.

After being the world's number one B&B for the last three years, the Toulson was narrowly beaten by a B&B in Mauritius.

James says the team are delighted with the award which is based on customer reviews.

The awards are based on the last 12 months of Trip Advisor reviews which cover 1.6m Hotels and B&B's across the globe.

When it comes to world-class hospitality, the Brits shine in the Best B&Bs and Inns category, with four UK winners making the top 10 global list.

The Toulson Court in Scarborough comes in at No. 2 for 2024, knocked off the top spot it retained for an impressive three years running by Voile Bleue, Mauritius. Highcliffe House on the Exmoor coast in Devon comes in at No. 6, followed by Gloucester House in Weymouth, at No. 8. New entry for this year, The Berburry Hotel, Torquay, secured the 10th world spot.
