YHA Boggle Hole

What a gem! If you think “hostel” then scrap that thought! This place is amazing. More quaint lil hotel tucked away on the coast. The decor, staff and vibe are awesome. Location is nothing short of perfect… even with the gigantic hill! We will defo be back

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.

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.

Brilliant, stunning hostel, with great facilities, super friendly and helpful staff. I've stayed here before but, this time, I had a room in the Crow's nest. Great new building with small kitchen (kettle, sink, fridge, cutlery and plates). My room was for 3 but I travelled alone, so it was very spacious and with an en suite!! Great value for money. And of course, the location is superb! Right by the beach, a short walk to Robin Hood's bay by beach or up the coastal path. Stunning views and lots of fossils too!

Boggle Hole hostel is a great place to stay. It’s situated in a secluded beach. It take a few minutes to walk down a steep road to get there (and walk back up again), which may be an issue for some but also filters out a massive crowd. The room (in the crow’s nest part) was modern and clean. Nothing fancy but decent enough. Tonnes of activities that can keep children busy like finding fish and ghosts around the building. And for everyone short hikes to neighbouring villages like Robin Hood’s Bay, either along the seashore when the tide is out or on a spectacular cliff walk when the tide is high. Recommended for a few nights, don’t waste time on arriving late in evening and checking out the next morning.

Really nice place overall in a great location, having not stayed in a YHA or any hostel before. I therefore wasn't sure what to expect and my expectations were low. Stayed here for one night having wanted to cheaply extend our holiday. A brisk walk down to the hostel and love how it is literally right on the beach. An old mill previously, it had great character and charm. We stayed in a separate building called the crows nest. Everything very basic and therefore beds were too. Didn't sleep great as the doors in the corridor outside the rooms squeaked or slammed. They ideally need to oil a few of them and get some soft close hinges on the fire doors. In addition the bed mattresses are very hard with no ventilation within the rooms. As 5 of us were in one room, even with the window open it was like being in the Caribbean. Therefore a restless nights sleep for adults at the least. The restaurant was great, good value and decent quality. Other facilities were also clean, tidy and well presented. Breakfast was really good also. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Overall we left with a decent opinion of YHA. A value option for our future travel plans albeit a very basic one.
