A wonderful stay, house is perfectly situated with a real bonus of the loading bay directly outside for arrival/departure. Having a gate leading onto the Beck was also very handy.House was the perfect size for two families, we took a floor and bathroom each allowing everyone some space. Table and living room were large enough for everyone to eat together and enjoy board games on rainy days.Will definitely be back!
Great cozy house in the middle of Staithes, can highly recommend for families (and dogs) home from home comforts, everything you could wish for, in a great location!
Beautiful well equipped house in ideal position for shops and beach. Very modern and beautifully clean. Great personal touches. Owner really helpful. Will definitely go back. We only had short stay but would love to book a longer holiday next time.
Hadnât had a U.K holiday for years but chose to go to Staithes and wanted good accommodation.
Sarahâs place exceeded all expectations. It is lovely, spacious, spotless and so well stocked with everything you need.
Sarah is top host and communicates with you on a personal level.
Canât wait for next visit!
Would also recommend fishing trip with Martin. We have left his number in guest book
Would recommend...
Property Manager was fab. Friendly, helpful and very accommodating with three challenges brought about by the constant covid-19 changes. Location is very close to everything Staithes has to offer. House is spacious with everything you need from washing machine to dishwasher to sky and internet.
Superbly equipped and attractive house in the heart of Staithes
The cottage is ideally for 2 families of 4, whatever the age of the children. It is set over 3 floors with 2 bathrooms with space for everyone. The ground floor has a fabulously equipped kitchen (we made a pie, from scratch, in it) and a dining room table which is large enough for everyone. Entertainment is provided by the record player, TV with ample selection of DVDs, games etc. We even found a cocktail book with what turned out to be excellent recipes!
The lounge is at the front of the property and seats 6 adults comfortably. The location of the property is ideal, opposite the sweet shop and 2 mins walk from the Royal George pub which serves excellent pub grub. The accommodation, indeed the whole area, is dog-friendly which made life really easy for us. Staithes is extremely pretty and can be the start point for several lovely walks. It has a few gift shops, cafes and a gallery but really surprisingly no general store to top up with milk, bread etc. The shop opposite to the cottage sells food but it is really more of a deli. There is a Co-op a 3 min car ride away though.
All in all we had a wonderful, restful time and wouldn't hesistate in recommending this cottage.
Excellent location with the most interesting pictures and furniture ever found in a holiday cottage. Particularly love the main bedroom chair. And the kitchen contains everything you need from egg cups to tea strainer etc etc Great parking advice too.
We stayed at Pelican for a week in August 2019. We were a party of eight, four adults and four teenagers. Pelican is a gorgeous period house, and very stylish. The house is well equipped with everything you need and we particularly enjoyed using the turntable and WiFi speaker. The location is perfect in the heart of the village , just 5 minutes from the sea. We had a great week exploring Staithes - highlights included swimming in the sea at high tide just the other side of the south breakwater as recommended by the owners, it was truly magical. We also did a whale watching trip arranged by Yorkshire Coast Nature which was wonderful.
We had great food at the Royal George and enjoyed Coble cake at the cafe by the harbour.
The only suggestion I would make is that the mattresses in the bedrooms on the top floor could do with replacing.
Overall a brilliant holiday and a wonderful house.
Two families with now adult âkidsâ and our two dogs had a wonderful week in the Pelican. Great facilities with a better equipped kitchen than I have at home ! Fish and chips at the cod and lobster are to die for and we won the pub quiz from the friendly locals . Best place for ice cream in the sweet shop directly opposite and fab cream tea in local t shop with enormous scones! They also had a bring your own booze music night when we where there which was a very economical bonus . The pelicans had lovely comfortable beds and enough space for all . The stairs to a third floor got some getting used too as did the hill up to the car park so needless to say we returned fitter !
I would if visiting the area again definitely stop in the pelican again !
Weâve just stayed at Pelican House again with our friends who had two small babies (3 years & 3 months). The house was perfect for them - and allowed their parents to relax v. quickly. Itâs so lovely to have everything on the door (esp the beach) whilst also having all the conveniences you need for bedtimes etc (Bath, Black out blind, high chairs, travel cots, toys - all provided). The pub next door (the George) even did takeaway fish and chips for us, where we brought our own plates and took them home to eat once little ones were settled! We drove the coastal route to Whitby on the Saturday which was gorgeous in itself before having a few hours of pottering about. But Staithes is the real beauty of that coastline and getting to enjoy it in the sun was just cherry on the cake! Thanks for looking after the house so well - itâs just stunning x
We have just enjoyed a three night stay here and had a lovely time. Five of us plus dogs, with plenty of space to feel comfortable.
The house is lovely and clean, with everything you would need.
A great location, opposite the deli and sweet shop, and the children (early teens) were able to safely explore on their own.
We enjoyed the pub quiz, a meal out to The Cod, crabbing off the jetty and the lovely galleries.
From the second we walked into the house we were instantly relaxed. The house has everything you need for a perfect break. Great break away for my mums birthday, plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 children. The record player was fantastic, my daughter now wants one for her birthday. The beds were really comfy and the views from upstairs were lovely. The location is perfect, opposite the lovely sweet shop and deli Dotty's tea rooms are a must, the atmosphere is great and the cakes are amazing. The house is doors away from the local pub, dogs are welcome, but everything is so close. Parking was fine, we easily parked outside the property, unloaded and dropped the cars off in the car park, only a short walk away. Thank for letting us stay in your lovely house.
This was a stylish, comfortable and well-equipped house. We very much enjoyed our stay over Christmas. Staithes is a magical place and Emma is an attentive and thoughtful host.
I spent many childhood holidays in Staithes in the holiday home my family bought in the 1970s and fell in love with its unique charm then. Guy and I have visited as often as possible over the years and have been lucky enough to buy our own seaside home in the village. We live in Yorkshire so get to spend plenty of time in our favourite place with our three daughters, family and friends.
Staithes is unique. It has all the traditional charm without the tourist hustle and bustle. Despite this unspoilt beauty, Staithes has plenty going on with a thriving diverse community of fisherman, artists, small businesses and restaurants.
Pelican is in the heart of the village and when we're there we really feel part of Staithes life. It's one of the few larger properties in old Staithes so plenty of room for our family and friends to stay. We love sipping a glass or two in our courtyard and wandering down to the bridge glass in hand to watch the sunset.
