YHA Boggle Hole: Beachfront Hostel in a Secluded Fylingthorpe Cove
Beachfront Location
YHA Boggle Hole sits directly on a secluded cove beach in Fylingthorpe, with the Cleveland Way coastal path passing through the property. The hostel occupies a former corn mill, converted in the 1930s, that also served as a refuge for shipwrecked sailors and a billet for soldiers during World War II. Free parking is a 500-metre walk away at the top of a steep hill, and guests carry luggage down to the hostel.
Rooms
Family rooms with private bathrooms, carpeted floors, and showers are in the main house, while the Crows Nest building holds private rooms with shared bathrooms. Bedding and duvets are provided, and guests bring their own towels and pillows. Key card access, heating, and a drying room are available for a coastal stay.
Dining and Facilities
The on-site restaurant serves British cuisine with buffet breakfast and full English or Irish options. The bar and coffee house offer draft beer, wine, champagne, kids' meals, and special diet menus. The hostel is dog friendly and provides a shared kitchen, garden, outdoor furniture, picnic area, shared lounge/TV area, and meeting and banquet facilities.
Family Activities
Direct beach access puts guests on a cove beach with a stream at the side of the building, a spot for fossil hunting and rock pooling. The hostel supplies board games and puzzles, and children can take part in trail hunts around the building and grounds. Kids' meals are available, and children staying at the hostel eat for £1.
Nearby Attractions
Robin Hood's Bay is a 16-minute walk away, and the Old Coastguard Station is 1.1 km from the property. Whitby Abbey is 13 km away, Scarborough Castle is 24 km away, and Teesside International Airport is 78 km away. The Cleveland Way coastal path runs directly past the hostel, offering cliff walks and beach routes to Robin Hood's Bay.

“Yha Boggle Hole occupies a truly stunning location, practically on the beach, making it a dream base for coastal walks and seaside exploration. The establishment itself feels cosy and welcoming, especially with a fire roaring in the bar area, and the on-site cafe serves up some genuinely good food. I found the sleeping arrangements surprisingly comfortable, even the bunk beds, and the facilities kept to a high standard of cleanliness, adding to the overall positive impression.”
