World’s best places to stay in 2023 includes a Scarborough B&B
Where can you find some of the best places to stay in the world?
New York? London? Or perhaps Tokyo?
According to Tripadvisor, the sleepy seaside town of Scarborough boasts some of the best hospitality.
Tripadvisor Traveller’s Choice awards has crowned The Toulson Court in Scarborough as the best B&B in the world for the third year in a row — with prices from £80 per night.
With more than 2,000 ‘excellent’ reviews on the site, guests have praised this venue for offering a warm welcome, excellent service and little extras — including the singing chef.
One recent Tripadvisor reviewer even claimed they would have given 10 stars if they could, and it still wouldn’t have been enough.

- The Toulson Court, Scarborough

James and Angela Rusden, the owners of The Toulson Court Bed and Breakfast, said: ‘We really were not expecting the amazing news to be crowned World’s Best B&B for the third year running.
‘We are truly amazed and delighted to win this award again. It’s fantastic not only for us, but for the town of Scarborough and all its attractions.’
