Large traditional house in the heart of old Staithes with outside courtyard.

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.

Hadn’t had a U.K holiday for years but chose to go to Staithes and wanted good accommodation. Sarah’s 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. Can’t wait for next visit! Would also recommend fishing trip with Martin. We have left his number in guest book

Great well equipped property in stunning location. Owner good to communicate in these uncertain times.

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.

Second year staying in staithes and the cottages are always fantastic

Good communication with the owners. House in the heart of beautiful Staithes. We loved being relaxed and having a good break. Thank you

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.

Could not have been easier. Owner went out of her way to help.

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 ‘kids’ 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 !

Very relaxing

We’ve 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. It’s 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 - it’s 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.

House was in a great location and was very well equipped with everything you needed for a stay

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.

Well fitted out with everything we need, we return every year to this cottage as a family always a delight

Great location and well kept property which offers good value and room for 8 guests.

Lots of helpful communication from Emma. More than enough room for the 6 of us - plenty of kitchen utensils and glasses :) Very good location,

We stayed just for 2 nights but would have loved it be longer. The house was lovely & clean with plenty of seating & a well equipped kitchen. It was easy to find & convenient for good pubs, local shops & the beach.

A great property . Clean and well maintained with lovely extra touches to make us feel welcome. Nice decoration, spacious bedrooms, bath and shower rooms. We all commented on the interesting and different art work . Beware don’t get caught out parking in the loading bay outside the house even if you see others doing it!

Property was as described well furnished and very comfortable. Very homely with great tv and Wi-Fi. Lots of games and the record player was a first for us. Everything worked and the detailed instructions and info were the best I have seen. Beds and bathrooms were great for us. Steep hill And parking at the top made for great exercise. Lack of phone signal was good! The village itself was one of the most friendly and welcoming places I have visited. If you dont like seagulls and the noise they make do not visit but we didn't notice them after the first day. Overall a great place for family and friends Emma the owner was super answered all our questions and was very easy to deal with

Fantastic property, served us very well.

Loved the central location, the bathrooms, Sky, Amazon and space.

Beautiful House in a beautiful location. A village that has it all and a house that reflects it. All equipment that you could think of was here and a particular favourite was the coffee machine. All rooms were very comfortable and clean and spacious We would definitely recommend staying again

Cosy,stylish,clean,well equipped,,convenient location.Very helpful owner

we have just had a weekend break, perfect for the six of us that visited

We had a lovely weekend at the Pelican. Staithes is a beautiful place - absolutely tiny, but fantastically located. The local walking is great, ranging from sea cliffs to moors to little wooded valleys, which our kids loved. Whitby is 20 minutes away. The house itself is perfect for this sort of trip away. It's well-equipped, thoughtfully designed, with the owners' artistic personalities shining through. We were four adults and two kids and the accommodation was just right. Hosts were great with communication and did their level best to fit with our particular needs; they also provided a very kind arrival pack, which we appreciated. Only downside was it was all too short - look forward to coming again another time!

It’s our 3rd visit to Pelican House, 4 adults, 4 kids & 1 dog. It’s like Home from home, Emma & Guy take great pride in their house & so they should. The location is perfect, though straight opposite a chocolate shop with children is hard going st times :-) It is spacious, cosy & comfortable. Not forgetting the wine, chocolates, milk & eggs we were left. It’s a great base to explore the local area but Staithes is by far our favourite seaside retreat. The cod & lobster is a must for a drink with s view & the food is great. Can’t wait to return already.

Pelican House is beautifully maintained and tastefully decorated. The kitchen is equipped with everything you might need. The house is spacious and sleeps 8 very comfortably. The owners had done everything to make our stay the best it could be, down to the chocolates and bottle of wine. We can't wait to come back.
