Just spent a night here whilst walking the Cleveland Way. This is a hidden gem. Staff were ultra friendly and helpful. Very good value food. Nice layout with the 'cabins' all individually decorated. A fantastic secluded location. Clean tidy bright and airy.

My second stay here and it gets better and better! I dragged my brother and sister-in-law here because I knew they and their three kids would love it. We had two family rooms and both were clean, comfortable and warm. We arrived in thick fog and didn't fancy driving out again to eat. Despite the short notice and shortage of... More

Just wish we'd stopped when our lad was a kid, absolutely brill location on the back of the cove with Robin Roods Bay quarter of an hour away across the beach & rock pools. Hostel was warm when it was perishing outside, room was snug & the kitchen worked once you found your way round the cupboards. The pirate boat... More

Lovely friendly clean hostel with great food. family room or dorms simplicity itself but warm clean and cosy. vegetarian food wonderful. ordered the same meal as last time in scarborough- veggie lasagne and it really tasted like the chef would happily eat it herself at home. walks from the hostel along coastal path. great coffee and beautiful peaceful place

This would be such a great place to take primary school age kids, with the... More

Further up... More

Iconic location for a hostel. Strongly aimed at kids and families with small children. Staff are great. On the Cleveland Way coastal path and there are plenty of other footpaths to keep you happy. Easy beach walk to Robin Hoods Bay. It's a hostel, not a hotel. Be reasonable and you'll be fine. There is no radio reception which is... More

Just spent two weekend nights in this hostel. It was early February and the weather was wild. The position of this hostel is great - so close to the sea that the buildings can get drenched in salt spray. You will need to be prepared to walk down the lane to get there since there is no parking, except at... More
