00:00
So tell me what it's like running the world's best B&B for the third year running.
00:06
It's been an amazing experience for us and it's an amazing thing that has happened to win best B&B in the world.
00:13
But it's down to the guests that come and visit us. They love what we do, they love what we have to offer. It's just fabulous.
00:20
It's great fun, but it's hard work.
00:23
What did it feel like when you were first crowned three years ago the best B&B in the world?
00:29
To be fair, when we first got the phone call we were driving back from York and we didn't believe it.
00:33
We thought somebody was playing a prank and we still for about 10 minutes thought they were playing a prank
00:37
until they sent us an email which pinged on my watch while I was driving and I was like, oh my goodness, it's true.
00:42
Because you just, putting it in perspective, we're just an ordinary B&B in Scarborough
00:47
and it's just an amazing thing that we can win best B&B in the world.
00:51
We're competing with all these other B&Bs that are fabulous places, but it's down to value for money as well.
00:57
And that's what our point is really, isn't it?
01:01
Value for money, friendly, happy, nice environment, good breakfast, clean rooms, trying to get it all right.
01:09
And what do you think some of your secrets are? Ben, you've obviously got those good old values.
01:15
Singing chef!
01:18
So James is our in-house entertainment.
01:24
James likes to sing all the time, practically. He just sings all the time.
01:31
And the guests love it and the guests join in.
01:35
And he doesn't always have the same choice of songs.
01:39
If Madness are playing down at the Open Air Theatre, we'll have Madness songs playing in the morning.
01:44
Or if Kylie Minogue is down at the Open Air Theatre, we'll have Kylie Minogue songs in the morning.
01:49
A deeper voice, though.
01:53
So we've got a lot of that.
01:56
