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

What a lovely house, we really enjoyed staying at Song Bird holiday home, the location was great - close to the cinder track allowing us to walk into Whitby and going the opposite way walking to Stainsacre (and on to Scarborough if you have the legs for it) and it's easy to get to the supermarkets / shops for supplies or walking into town using the roads too (30mins at most sees you in the middle of Whitby).The house was perfect for our needs, the kitchen is well equipped, the living room / dining area was large enough for six adults with a separate lounge area. The bathrooms were very clean and useable. The beds were comfortable abs clean. There are stair gates which is a great idea which enabled us to keep our dog downstairs at all times.The outside area lovely, overlooking a field, with plenty of seating, and the hot tub was fabulous - we all enjoyed having a soak after a day of walking.I've already recommended the house to a couple of friends, would definitely book the house again next time we stay in Whitby
