We stayed here for a week with my parents and our young son. It was fantastic. Lovely building with lots of character that has been fantastically renovated. The garden was a great space to run about and the village is very picturesque and well located close to both Pickering and Scarborough. The owners had left flowers and a cake which was very welcoming and there was lots of useful information about the area provided. Unfortunately the weather for our visit wasn't great but we found lots to do in the area and the house was a really comfortable base for our trips out. The previous comment about parking being difficult is understandable - it is on street parking - but we had no difficulties in 7 days and this was during half term holidays when I imagine it is probably busier. One slight negative (and it is a minor quibble) is that it is a very noisy house. Upstairs is very creaky and noise spreads all through the house - we didn't have any problems but maybe a young child who is a light sleeper would struggle to get to sleep. All in all, a fantastic holiday in really excellent accommodation.

Super cottage. Finished to a very high and robust standard. Very comfortable, lovely family time as open plan meant everyone was involved whilst cooking. Fabulous kitchen to cook and entertain in. Loved it

“Superb 5 star accommodation”

From arrival we were greated with a homemade cake and fresh flowers! Property was perfect in every way. Really struggle to find a downside, if anything it would be no off street parking.

“Fantastic”

St Mary's mission was a beautiful building to stay in and the wood burning stove soom heated up the house. If you enjoy cooking the kitchen is very well laid out and creates a sociable atmosphere in which to prepare a meal for your family. I would recommend this cottage for a great get away.

“Fabulous accommodation, great location”

We stayed here as a family of 5 at the end of August. A fantastic conversion from the original chapel has been undertaken extremely well and the finish of the accommodation is exceptional. The accommodation is very well laid out, with a fantastic kitchen/diner/lounge on the ground floor, with the kitchen being extremely well-equipped. The upstairs has three good-sized bedrooms and both the en-suite to the master bedroom and the family bathroom have been finished to a very high standard. The inclusion of freeview TV and a free broadband service were great extras that were valued by our children in particular. The location of the accommodation is perfect for anybody wishing to visit the North Yorkshire Moors, any of the great coastal resorts and the city of York. I'd recommend the property to anybody - families, friends or groups wanting somewhere comfortable and well-equipped to base themselves to explore the wide range of attractions that North Yorkshire has to offer.

“First Class accomodation”

what a beautiful building. A lot of TLC has gone into this restoration ensuring that it keeps all of its character and charm amongst modern fittings. the village of Ebberston is lovely and tranquil and it is ideal for all of the East Coast resorts as well as the moors and surrounding villages. The Kitchen and bathrooms are really high spec and have to be seen to be fully appreciated. All in all a great place to stay and we will definately be having a return visit. ps Laura (aged 5) thought that the bunkbeds were fantastic!!

“lovely location and property”

This was a lovely cottage which had been restored to a really high standard. The village location and local park were great for our young children and it was within easy reach of the coast

“A wonderful, character filled, retreat.”

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ebberston. A surprisingly spacious property, full of character with good quality fittings and well equipped kithen. We reported a couple of minor niggles that needed attention at end of our stay but nothing that spoiled our holiday and am convinced they would have been dealt with. The owners clearly love and take good care of the property. We wanted somewhere the children could study for exams yet within easy reach of places to visit when they wanted a break. It was perfect! It was in a quiet village location yet within easy reach of shops for groceries and places to visit such as Scarborough and Flamingo Land. Due to the location a car is essential and although parking was on the road it was never a problem, even with two cars. We loved sitting in the deep window sills to read and the internet was a huge bonus. It took a while to sort out as the instructions weren't very clear but the owner was very helpful in getting us online. Overall..... Brilliant! Would definitely recommend it and consider visiting again.

“An very good property in an excellent location for touring the M”

The accomodation is cleverly designed and well appointed. Only down sides were general cleanliness on arrival and that in parts some finishing was still required. Otherwise a great location for touring the surrounding countryside, and for the local pub (there is only one)up on the main road (The Grape)where we were made to feel like locals as we took full advantage of the excellent food and ales! Will probably return in the future.

“Wonderful modern property in a quiet village”

We were 6 adults staying for the Pickering War weekend and really enjoyed our stay at this very sympathetically converted Sunday School. The only reason it hasn't got 5 stars is the 3rd bedroom which is incredibly small. It does sleep 2 adults in bunk beds and has a wardrobe, but no room for anything else, and certainly not enough room for 2 people to get dressed at the same time! We liked everything else about the property; it had plenty of room in the kitchen and living area for 6 adults. It has obviously only recently been converted and equiped, so everything is new and modern. We especially liked the wood burning stove! Ebberston is a pleasant, quiet village, only about 15 minutes drive from Pickering, and close to lots of other places of interest in the area. We would certainly use this property again
