Guests say
Song Bird Holiday Home in Whitby is a well-appointed, spacious property with a private hot tub and secure garden, ideal for families and pet owners. Guests appreciate the comfortable beds, modern kitchen, and the peaceful location with countryside views, though some noted room for improvement in cleanliness and maintenance.
Cleanliness received mixed feedback. While some guests found the house clean and comfortable, others noted issues with the hot tub, dust, and the need for a deeper clean in certain areas. The presence of hair and dust in the hot tub was a recurring concern.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to Whitby, with a short walk into town, and the peaceful setting overlooking a field. However, some guests mentioned a steep hill and the property being on a housing estate somewhat far from the centre.
Guests found the house very comfortable, with large bedrooms and a cosy kitchen diner. However, seating in the living room was deemed insufficient for the number of guests the house accommodates, and some dining chairs were reported as wobbly.
Facilities are modern and generally well-received, with a special mention of the hot tub despite cleanliness issues. Some guests struggled with the TV and mentioned a lack of coat hooks and mirrors. Maintenance issues like a difficult front door lock and the need for a new vacuum cleaner were also noted.
The owner's thoughtfulness is evident in the welcome pack provided, although it's noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and not guaranteed. Some guests suggested improvements like additional bin bags and toilet rolls, and a more comprehensive welcome pack could enhance the experience.

We had a lovely stay at song bird. The house was lovely, beds very comfy and plenty of room. The owner was quick to respond to my messages and sorted an issue very fast! The hot tub was lovely, very private as looks over a field. The house was very well equipped with Speakers (Alexa or Google) and TVs in all rooms. Only addition I could think to add would be a pizza tray as my boys fancied a pizza one night. We had a lovely time in Whitby and would love to return to Song bird!

An enjoyable holiday was had by all but there were a couple of gripes these being the hot tub hadn't been cleaned and we needed to clean fat out of the bottom of the oven before using it. I would definitely recommend to others.Many thanks for an enjoyable stay.

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
