A bed and breakfast in Yorkshire has been named the best in the world for a third time in a row by Tripadvisor. The Toulson Court in Scarborough, which provides ‘a real home from home’, has won the Travellers’ Choice of the Best Hotels 2023.
The recognition comes after over 2,000 ‘excellent’ reviews on the site with guests praising the B&B for offering a warm welcome, excellent service and little extras - including the singing chef. One recent Tripadvisor reviewer claimed they would have given 10 stars if they could, and it still wouldn’t have been enough.
