Tillers Cottage
Take a look
Tillers Cottage dates to the 18th Century and was originally two cottages. Due to the age and the gently sloping land, there are steps to accommodate the change in levels both inside and around the cottage and some of the floors are uneven. Please see our accessibility statement for further information.

outside
Tillers Cottage has a separate enclosed garden area located across the driveway; a pretty, tranquil and sheltered little haven. The garden is gently sloping with a couple of steps at both the top and lower ends.
It boasts a patio area with seating for eight: the perfect sun trap to enjoy a morning coffee or evening drinks. There is also a lockable shed available for guests to use off the patio area.
There is clearly marked off road parking for one car. Additional cars can be parked on the quiet village road, within a few yards of Tillers Cottage.
dog information
We welcome 1 dog at Tillers Cottage. We may accept 2 dogs with prior agreement. We request that dogs remain downstairs in the cottage and are not left alone and unattended unless it is crated. Our garden is enclosed by hedges on one side and a fence on the other. It is just across the driveway from Tillers Cottage – entrance is through an iron rod hand gate.
The whole area around the cottage is very dog friendly with many pubs, shops and beaches welcoming dogs. There are stunning walks from the door which your dog will enjoy. If your dog loves water, then you really will be spoilt for choice of places to visit locally. Our packet of OS maps, walking books and routes will help you plan the ideal walk with your dog. We are happy to provide additional information on dog-friendly places.
In Tillers Cottage we have dog bowls, poo bags and a tick remover tool. We also have an outside tap for washing off any muddy paws. Please bring your own dog towels and blankets.
Ebberston Village
Ebberston itself offers an excellent local inn, children’s play park and tennis court. It has regular public transport buses connecting it with Scarborough to the East and Helmsley to the West.
Within walking distance of Tillers Cottage is Chafer Wood, a popular walking destination, where King Alfred’s Cairn / Cave can be found. The cairn dates back to 1770, built on top of a cave where King Alfred rested following injury in a battle around 708 AD.
Chafer Wood is a nature reserve, with a wide range of plants, animals and birds - something of interest for all ages. From Chafer Wood there are other footpaths to explore, linking Ebberston with neighbouring villages.
In the neighbouring village of Snainton, is a superb golf driving range and 9 hole golf course. There is also an excellent public house serving food - approximately 20 – 30 minutes walk, or less than 2 miles by car or bus. To the west is Allerston, again a couple of miles by car or bus, or approximately 45 minutes walk across the fields – here you’ll find another great local inn serving food.
Local shopping facilities are available in nearby Thornton-le-Dale.
