Their winning streak has continued, with Toulson Court taking home the best B&B award for the UK for the fourth year in a row.

James and Angela Rusden said: “We are delighted! It’s our 8th anniversary of owning The Toulson Court in June this year, and to think of what we have achieved over this time is mind blowing.

“Four years of being number one in the UK, three years being best in the world and now to be awarded second place - It's absolutely amazing!

“Scarborough is a fantastic place to visit with so many wonderful places and attractions to see.

“The Open-Air Theater, the Stephen Joseph Theater and Peasholm Park are all amazing attractions, alongside the traditional things on offer at the seaside which draw visitors every year.

“We also have some fantastic events like Scarborough Sci-Fi, Christmas Sparkle, Sea Fest, Gold Wings Light Parade and Armed forces day which bring a lot of customers too.

“If Scarborough had not got the attractions, we would never have been able to win this award, so thank you to every attraction in the area for making this happen!”
