We absolutely loved our stay at Jays View in Whitby! ❤️ The house was absolutely immaculate, beautifully presented and full of lovely little touches that made it feel extra special. Everything was thought of, and it was such a lovely place to come back to after exploring Whitby.The hosts were fantastic too, especially when my car wouldn’t start and we ended up stuck on the driveway! They were so helpful and kind, which really meant a lot and made a stressful situation so much easier.We honestly couldn’t fault our stay. Jays View is a beautiful place to stay, and the little details and thoughtful hospitality really made a difference. We’d happily recommend it to anyone visiting Whitby and would absolutely love to stay again. Thank you for such a lovely stay! 🥰

We had such a lovely stay at Jays View and really couldn’t have asked for more. The property was absolutely spotlessly clean, beautifully presented and in such a convenient, central location.Having two parking spaces was a brilliant bonus and made our stay so much easier. We also really appreciated the generous welcome pack — such a thoughtful touch and a lovely way to arrive.The owner was incredibly friendly and thoughtful, checking in to make sure everything was OK without being intrusive. We genuinely felt very well looked after during our stay. Jays View is a lovely place to stay, and we would have no hesitation in recommending it to others. We’d definitely be very happy to come back and stay again!
