YHA Boggle Hole

Fantastic hostel in a beautiful location. The attention to detail and little touches throughout are beautiful. Had a great evening here while hiking the Cleveland Way. The staff were superb, very helpful and couldn't do enough for us despite there being 2 school trips on site and therefore being extremely busy.

Just came back from my stay at YHA Boggle Hole Hostel — what an amazing place! The location is simply stunning, hidden away in a little cove, far from roads and crowds. It’s so peaceful and quiet, the perfect spot to unwind. The staff were fantastic — really friendly and helpful. I ordered some food and enjoyed it by the fireplace, which made for such a cosy evening. The room was good and comfortable (for that price - perfect) just the walls were a bit thin, so I could hear people walking to and from the toilet. Other than that, everything was lovely. I’d definitely come back again!

The location of this hostel is near perfect which is maybe how they justify the prices. We managed to book the room when it was on offer for £30 for the night. This felt like an appropriate price given the room. But on some nights our room is listed as costing £150! Given what the rooms offer this is a scandalous price. We were put in the "crows nest" which is a purpose built ugly building outside the main building and up a pretty steep flight of stairs. This was a little frustrating given we told the hostel in our booking we had a baby with us. Our room had no toilet paper (we could have gone back to reception but that would have been a 5 mins round trip so we just used the communal toilet). Our room also had no shower gel, very limited space, plastic mattresses and poor lighting. Also, when you showered it soaked the entire bathroom floor and as no floor towel was provided this meant the main room also got a little wet. The rooms are functional but no more. For £30 this was all fine, but Omg if the price had been £150 per night and that's what I got, I would be absolutely furious.
