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.

Overall this is a very nice house however there a few niggles:1/ The television in the living room is quite difficult to operate due to the connectivity of the sound system.2/ There are no coat hooks anywhere!!3/ For a house that is configured for 6 or more people there isn't enough seating, particularly in the living room where there are only two two-seater sofas.The comment on value for money is based on the fact that ALL holiday cottages are overpriced.
