Guests say
Pelican Rest is a modern, well-equipped and spotlessly clean cottage, ideally situated for exploring Northumberland’s coast and attractions. Guests consistently praise its comfort, quiet location, and suitability for families and dog owners. The property offers easy access to beaches, local amenities, and scenic walks. While most found the house very comfortable and well maintained, a few noted minor issues with kitchen equipment, lounge seating, and pillow thickness. Thoughtful touches such as welcome packs were appreciated by some guests. Overall, Pelican Rest provides an excellent base for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday.
The majority of guests described the property as spotlessly clean, tidy, and well presented. Only one or two reviews mentioned minor cleaning oversights, such as saucepans with dried-on food, but these were exceptions.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to beaches, town, and local attractions, with easy access to supermarkets and walking routes. A few guests mentioned it was a little further from some destinations than expected, but overall feedback is very positive.
Guests found the house warm, comfortable, and quiet, with many highlighting the quality of beds and overall cosiness. Some noted the lounge seating and pillows could be improved, especially for larger groups or taller guests.
The property is described as very well equipped, with modern appliances and amenities. Minor suggestions included more crockery, improved frying pans, and clearer instructions for heating controls, but these did not detract significantly from the overall experience.
Several guests appreciated thoughtful touches such as welcome packs and dog treats, though it should be noted these are not guaranteed for every stay.

We had a lovely time at Pelican Rest the house is on a quiet estate and was very clean and equipped with everything we needed , a shower in the family bathroom would be a nice addition to save having to share the en-suite shower , there are loads of historic houses castles and beautiful beaches in less than an hour’s drive, plenty of restaurants and pubs for lunch or dinner to choose from and every where ate didn’t disappoint .

A lovely, well equipped house. Warm, clean and comfortable. The lounge was a bit small if there were 5 people but for 3 adults it was fine. A few minutes walk to the Amble Inn for food and a short drive into Amble for shops, cafes and pubs.

A very nice, warm and spotlessly clean holiday home in a lovely town. A very short drive into Amble and a lovely 10-15 minute walk out to Amble beach (down a footpath to the side of the estate). As an added bonus - check out Brewis Brewery which is literally a 5 minute walk from the house, which serves a great selection of craft beers and has a food truck outside - recommended !
