YHA Boggle Hole

Following our previous nights stay at YHA Whitby my daughter and I made our way down to Boggle Hole for the night. As other reviews state the parking is a short walk away down a hill so be careful with what you bring with you as you're gonna have to take it back up again. On this visit we stayed in the main house with a room facing the sea which was great to wake up to. The cafe area can be busy if the hostel is full but we managed to seat ourselves at a table for the afternoon. On this visit we ordered dinner and breakfast and both were very good and excellent value with my daughter eating for £1 on both occasions. A hidden gem in the cliff side with it biting cold outside but the log fire keeping all inside warm. We enjoyed walks on the beach while the tide was out over to Robin Hoods Bay. Will definitely return again.

This was such a nice place to stay overnight. The rooms were very clean and had plenty of space and facilities were excellent. We ate both breakfast and tea there which were both very nice and the staff were also fantastic and very helpful. I loved the theming despite some slightly odd decorations and the bookshelf stairs were a really nice touch. Watching the sunrise over the sea was also definitely a highlight of the stay. Overall I would definitely recommend this place and even though the walk down the steep hill and back was somewhat traumatic it was well worth it.

One night stay in a private bedroom with shared bathroom. Brilliant hostel - loved the pirate / nautical theming throughout! Beach walk to Robin Hood's Bay is great (check tide times!) and great connections to the Cleveland Way. Recommended!

Wonderful location, fantastic welcome and stay. Staff helpful, friendly and enthusiastic to ensure your stay is as good as it can be. Bar / cafe is cozy and homely, food looked amazing and not too badly priced. Car park at top of hill, meaning a walk down a steepish hill. Great for families / couples exploring or visiting the area. We will certainly be going back again. RECOMMENDATIONS: Take a pillow and towels with you. I would also recommend (not essential though) taking an extra sheet to put on the mattress. We found that the single sheet wasn’t enough to remove the feeling of the rubber covering on the mattress. Don’t let these things put you off staying here though, it’s brilliant. We also loved the fossil hunting in the little bay at the front.

Have just returned from staying at Boggle Hole twice with different schools and I cannot rate Boggle Hole YHA highly enough. Fantastic location, lovely staff, really clean facilities, excellent food, quirky decor in one of the best settings in the UK. I can’t wait to go back!

The cafe on site is superb and I chose a veggie breakfast bap. Cosy vibes and friendly staff. Would highly recommend if you’re staying at the YHA or just passing on your beach walk. Looks a lovely place to stay too! Would love to come back and stay here.
