The property generally maintains good cleanliness, though some guests noted areas needing deeper cleaning, such as windows, blinds, and light fittings. The hot tub cleanliness received mixed reviews, affecting the score.
The location is appreciated for its proximity to Whitby and local amenities, with beautiful walking routes nearby. However, the steep hill and distance from the town centre for some guests slightly impacted the score.
The property is praised for its comfortable beds and spaciousness. However, comments about insufficient seating in the living room and wobbly dining chairs suggest room for improvement in comfort.
Facilities are modern and the kitchen is well-equipped. The hot tub is a highlight, though its maintenance issues have been raised. Difficulties with TV operation and a lack of coat hooks have also been mentioned.

This holiday home was fantastic. It had everything you could need and was just a short walk into town. We walked with a push chair and a dog and it was no problem although there is a hill that you need to be okay getting up and down but Whitby is known for being hilly so it wouldn’t be unexpected.The hot tub was great and the garden fantastic for the dog. I can imagine it’s lovely in summer to look out over the fields while having a coffee. There is plenty of room for everybody and lots of cupboard space and fridge space

Overall Song Bird was nice. We enjoyed the stay except the hot tub. In the welcome pack it said tub was cloudy but clean& safe. On the second day in daylight we found clumps of hair & dust floating around. We were in the tub. We wanted to heave. That amount of hair wouldn't come from 6 people using tub over 3 hours. The tub needs emptying & spraying. Tbh it was the worst tub we had ever had. Just to end it put a damper on my last night. The downstairs toilet blind could use a dust. One of those clippy dusters for blinds would be a useful addition for the vle,ning team. Thanks.
