The 2020 Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards: B&B in Torquay named the best in the world – AGAIN

It was no fluke, then.

Torquay B&B ‘The 25′ has been crowned the best in the world in the Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards – again.

The boutique adults-only inn achieved the coveted accolade in 2019. This year it stands as a winner alongside the likes of Viroth’s Hotel in Cambodia, named the 2020 top hotel in the world, three-Michelin-star Auberge Du Vieux Puits in southern France – rated the best fine-dining restaurant on the planet – and Baros Maldives, the top lodge globally for luxury.

Andy Banner-Price, co-owner of The 25, said: ‘It’s an incredible feeling to be named the best B&B in the world for the second year running. If anything, the second time feels even more special because we know last year’s award raised customer expectations and so we’ve had to work even harder to deliver a great experience for every single one of our guests.

‘We didn’t rest on our laurels, we’ve tried to look at every little thing we can do to improve, and it feels like that effort has really paid off with this news today.’

Guests at his B&B, which offers stays from £129 per night, enjoy rooms with power showers, an Amazon Alexa control system, mood lighting, air conditioning, smart TV with Netflix and a heated mist-free bathroom mirror. Plus luxury Elemis toiletries and daily home-made treats.

And so far not one overall rating – out of over 700 – has dipped below an ‘excellent’ five out of five.

Guest ‘Mick504160’ summed things up when he wrote on July 23 this year: ‘Andy and Julian are the perfect hosts – we were made very welcome and Covid-safe. Our room was pure luxury. The daily treats were delicious. Our hosts went above and beyond to make our stay a memorable one.’

It’s all a far cry from the fictional ineptly-run guesthouse in the same town made famous by John Cleese’s classic sitcom Fawlty Towers.

The top 10 best B&B ranking for 2020 also comprises Huis Koning, Bruges, Belgium (second); Americus Garden Inn Bed & Breakfast in Georgia, USA (third); Rome’s QuodLibet (fourth); the Post House Inn, Canada (fifth); The Arthington, Blackpool (sixth); The Welsh Hills Inn in Granville, U.S (seventh); Pousada Casa Campestre, Brazil (eighth); Casa Sirena Hotel, Mexico (ninth), and the Riverside B&B, Ambleside, UK (tenth).

The ‘world fine dining ranking’ also gives the UK reason to beam with pride, because The Black Swan at Oldstead, North Yorkshire, is named the fourth best-rated fine dining restaurant in the world (and therefore the No1 in the UK).

And it’s not just Tripadvisor users who find it a mouthwatering experience – so do the Michelin inspectors. They gave it a coveted star. The AA’s dining judges were also impressed – they awarded it four rosettes.

Sawday’s guide, meanwhile, describes it as a ‘true one-off’.

‘We’re thrilled to be named the best fine dining restaurant in the UK, and number four in the world. We work so hard to provide our customers with the best possible dining experience, and it’s always such an honour to be recognised for it,’ said Tommy Banks, head chef at The Black Swan. ‘We’re now gearing up to re-open again on August 12, and we really can’t wait to welcome back our wonderful guests.’

Heston Blumenthal’s The Fat Duck in Bray, Berkshire, meanwhile, has been named the world’s tenth-best eaterie.

The awards were decided by an algorithm that analysed the millions of reviews and opinions collected on Tripadvisor worldwide prior to the pandemic.

And the write-ups for the No1 hotel, Viroth’s Hotel, are consistently glowing.

It has an average rating of five out of five from 2,076 reviews, with 2,000 rating it as ‘excellent’ and 68 deeming it ‘very good’.

The accolades include ‘phenomenal staff’, ‘fab food’, ‘lovely decor’ and ‘great location’.

This year the No2 spot in the overall global hotel ranking is occupied by the Hanoi La Siesta Hotel & Spa in Vietnam, which reviewer ‘JAKSJR’ in May this year described as ‘absolutely amazing‘.

‘With so many winning properties coming from the UK this year, it is testament to the high standards of hospitality we enjoy domestically, and that should give Brits the confidence to venture out and support the industry’s vital recovery.’
