Union Place

We have just returned from a delightful visit to Union Place. Richard is welcoming and knowledgeable, and the house charming and well located.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Union Place. This historic house is beautifully decorated. Bedrooms are very large and well furnished - the bed is very comfortable - and as guests, we have access to a dedicated living room with a beautiful view on the garden. Thank you Richard for your very warm welcome!

We really enjoyed our stay at Union Place. Beautiful rooms and convenient location to from which to Whitby. Richard was an excellent host and great company at breakfast. Thank you so much for looking after us so well.

A fabulous b&b to discover the charms of Whitby. Union Place is a beautiful Georgian house which has been lovingly restored & the bedroom is very spacious with a lovely bay window & exceptionally comfy bed. Friendly, charming owners & tasty breakfast - what more could you ask for!

The Savoy it ain't, but that more famous Hostelry's clients couldn't do better on a visit to Whitby, something not to be put off for too long. The delights of Union Place, and its owners will put a smile on your face.

A really enjoyable stay and fantastic hosts. We will definitely be back again. Nothing more you could want. An amazing house, with a perfectly presented version of its historic self. You could explore it for a few days and find new things to enjoy. But you’ll be too busy enjoying a great conversation with your hosts and admiring all the beautiful artwork on display.

When in Whitby stay here. Quiet, relaxed, delightful hosts, art at every turn and even a Wassily chair by Marcel Breuer to lounge and take it all in. Garden, location and views just icing on the cake. Fully recommended and this from someone not easy to please.

The accommodation is gorgeous, the location was perfect (very very short distance to town and beach), perfectly located as a base and day trips to other surrounding areas - Richard was full of advice and recommendations on where to go and how to get the best experience when there - all in all, a perfect 3 night stay and we'd definitely come back if we make it up that way again (the duvet alone would be enough reason to return!) Thank you so much Richard!

Stylish, arty and cosy - with dogs, fab hosts and a wonderful breakfast. I was made to feel very much at home, which is so important if you're travelling on your own. Thank you :-)

A wonderful and incredibly stylish place to stay. The house is in a quiet neighbourhood yet is only a short 10 minute walk into the centre of town. I particularly enjoyed the vista from the window, the roll-top bath and excellent breakfast. Richard kindly served kippers at our request! I must say it is also incredibly good value for such luxury accommodation.

A beautiful Georgian quirky house,with parking, in the very centre of Whitby, 3 minutes from the beach shops restaurants and every amenity. The bedrooms, bathroom and sitting room for guest use were exquisite and with every comfort and attention to detail. The welcome from our attentive and affable hosts and the breakfast provided, was superb and I can, without equivocation, wholeheartedly recommend it.

Sawdays is my 'go to' when planning a break, individual, quirky and full of character places to stay. Richard and Jane's Union place is exactly that. A beautiful home with charming hosts in a stunning part of the world. We stayed for 6 nights, enjoyed great breakfasts every morning, and looked forward to coming 'home' every evening. We were all made very welcome, and are very appreciative of their personal approach. It was fun! Thank you.

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful Georgian house: spacious accommodation with abundant original features, helpful and hospitable hosts plus a delicious breakfast. Great situation - very short walk to the town and coast - and Whitby itself was full of interest and surprise. Already planning a return stay.

It's difficult to know where to start after probably the most enjoyable 3 days of our lives at Union House in Whitby. This Adam Style Georgian town house has been thoughtfully renovated and impressively improved over 27 years with fittings of the highest standard which make any visit just so special. Tho owners Richard & Jane are two in a million and fantastic hosts, never intrusive but to miss their company would be a travesty. My wife and I never stopped laughing after spending some time with the pair. They are so so funny. Great house, great time in Whitby! Never forgotten break.

Three wonderful nights spent in the company of our thoughtful, funny and very helpful host and a charming dog. The breakfast music was as excellent as the food , the rooms even more impressive than the description and Whitby and its surroundings a smile-inducing discovery. To make use of a better poet than I: Don't think twice, it's alright!

Union Place is a comfortable, elegant and easy-going place to relax after a day exploring Whitby and the moors. Richard serves locally sourced breakfasts, news and sightseeing advice. Splendid.

We had four lovely days in Whitby. The bedrooms are spacious as is the share bathroom. Richard cooks amazing breakfasts and we enjoyed seeing all his art both in the studio and the house. Union Place is very well situated and everything is in reasonably easy walking distance - even the Abbey from which the views are amazing and well worth the climb.

My boyfriend and I spent only 1 night here- we had a delightful stay! We loved the 'blue room' so much with its amazing views and chairs right in the bay window that we came back early to enjoy the peace & quiet after an afternoon in Whitby. The location is superb; just a short walk to the beach. Richard was a wonderful host and cooked us a delicious breakfast, Jane (Richard's wife) was very welcoming and their lovely dog Hetty gave us a home from home feel as we too are dog owners- we'll bring Martin next time we visit :) Highly recommended for a couples getaway to Whitby!

This is very highly recommended. Union Place is a beautiful Georgian townhouse and staying here, with the use of an independent lounge as well as your lovely bedroom, is as much a part of the holiday as being in Whitby itself. Richard is a kind and accommodating host and cooks delicious breakfasts. We stayed for two nights and would certainly visit again if in the area. Jeff and Fran, Cardiff

A warm and friendly welcome to this beautiful house. Large, elegant and comfortable rooms and delicious breakfasts. Charmingly hosted by Richard who made us feel like friends rather than customers. Highly recommended.
