Excellent location, house spacious, providing everything you need. Nice peaceful and secluded enclosed garden with choice of patio areas. Did not use the hot tub due to the wonderful heatwave conditions, although there was a dramatic storm early one morning. Whitby and the surrounding area is fantastic with numerous places to visit. Highly recommended.

Our second time at Song Bird. The owner was flexible and allowed us to bring 4 dogs when we asked which meant we could come with our daughter and son in law. The house is lovely. We will book again
