About this property

17th Century, Grade II* listed with Country and Sea Views, optional hot tub

South Wing is a large, beautiful, grade II* listed home in the village of Hunmanby, on the North Yorkshire coast just two miles from the sea, on the Yorkshire Wolds and easy walking distance to a well serviced village.

South Wing is an ideal base for a short break with family and friends and you're welcome to bring the family hound! Big enough to cater for up to 14 people in a very comfortable setting with everything you need to no matter what the ages of your group - kids and adults love wandering through the house letting their imaginations run wild!

Bedroom one at the eastern end has a queen-sized bed and a single, with an en-suite shower room. Views to the east over the village and across to Filey Bay, and to the south across the gardens.

Bedroom two has a double bed and shares a 'jack & jill' bathroom with bedroom three. Lovely views across the south facing gardens and terraces.

Bedroom three is great for kids to share! It has a double bed plus three singles and shares the 'jack & jill' bathroom. Facing south with lots of lovely natural light and stunning views.

Bedroom four is a twin room with two very comfortable single beds. Views to the west over a small courtyard. A cosy WC with hand basin is next door. Depending on the make-up of your group guests can use any of the bathrooms - we'll let you decide which one:-)

Bedroom five is very grand with a large en-suite bathroom, separate dressing area, cosy snug and even a balcony with views to the South and West - perfect for a quite sundowner after a busy day.

South Wing has an extremely well equipped, large modern kitchen with twin Neff ovens, induction hob, two dishwashers, two large fridge/freezers plus drinks fridge. There's a large breakfast bar for casual dining and a dramatic oak-panelled dining room next door for those special meals.

Fast BT Infinity broadband keeps you in-touch indoors whilst outside is a huge private garden, a very short walk to pubs and shops and a 5 minute drive to the beach.

If you want to put your feet up the large main lounge is the place to be - wood burning stove, comfortable sofa's and chairs, baby grand piano and a feeling of luxurious space. There is a separate cosy TV lounge with 65" smart T V, perfect for streaming your own apps and accessing freeview channels.

If you enjoy soaking in a hot tub whilst taking in the views, we can arrange for a high quality tub to be delivered, filled and heated ready for your arrival. Tub rental prices vary throughout the year but a weekend hire is typically £285 with a seven-night hire from £345. (and its cheaper to pay this separate to the booking fee).

Kids and dogs love exploring the acre and a half of private gardens and woods.

South Wing is a very short walk from the village amenities including a number of pubs, shops and eateries, an excellent fish & chip shop and even Yorkshires only whisky distillery!

Very convenient for many beautiful beaches, walks and cycle routes along the coast and over the Yorkshire Wolds and a short drive from the North Yorkshire Moors. Historic York is less than an hour away and Hunmanby is well serviced by both bus and train

Amazing family get together

Wow what a house!!! So much more than we were expecting. It had a lovely welcoming, homely feel and had everything you could have asked for. The kitchen was incredible and very well stocked. Plenty of fire wood which we made use of all sat round in the grand living room. My Sons loved playing the piano and all the kids enjoyed playing hide and seek and running around in the grounds. It really was the perfect place for the family to come together and spend quality time making some very special memories. Andy was an excellent host. Great communication answering all my queries and sending through lots of additional information. We also booked a meal at the piebald inn in the town it was really good the pies were huge and delicious and all the staff very friendly. We can’t wait to return some day.

Lovely setting and location

A great place to stay in a great location. Setting was lovely and would recommend a stay. It was a little cold at times, so lots of layers required at this time of year. Would still stay again though.

70th Birthday Treat

Amazing place! Birthday family get together (15 of us). Lots of space in grand family mansion. Rooms very large but although we stayed in November - it was warm throughout with a lovely cosy feel. Everything you could possibly need was catered for and host very helpful. A few minutes walk to the village. Overall an absolute treat - thank you Andrew for making this birthday a very memorable one for all of us.

Huge old house with lots of character.

Me and my family (12 of us) had a fantastic 9 day stay in the fabulous house and grounds. The pictures do not do it justice it is huge. The kids ranging from 5 years old to 12 years old loved it and explored every inch of the house and grounds playing hide and seek, tigs, races, obstacle courses and even a few competitive family games of rounders (there was a few arguments and tantrums) we hired the hot tub and the little ones loved it and used it every day. The weather was very kind and we could enjoy the bbq and fire pit late into the night, probably a-bit too late sometimes even grandma stayed up till 3am! Located in a lovely village within walking distance that has good old fashioned country pubs with great value home cooked food (dogs allowed) Every one was happy. We also visited Filey and Bridlington and there was something for everyone it was even warm enough for the kids to have a dip in the sea. On Sunday we did a Sunday dinner and found the large modern kitchen had everything (and more) than we needed, there are so many cupboards and draws we all ate in the big dining room as a family for the first time in a very long time (no phones either). Everyone enjoyed it and we created some long lasting family memories, we will return.

Beautiful South Wing

What a wonderful property! Full of character and history I would recommend this as a fantastic place to stay for a large group of friends or family. The house has everything you need from an amazingly well stocked kitchen to games equipment to play in the fabulous garden!! There were 13 of us staying for a hen party and we had plenty of space to have fun filled, unforgettable weekend, thank you South Wing!

Fantastic holiday property

My family all had a fantastic time at the property. The large number of spacious rooms meant the different age groups could split up and do their own thing, without bothering each other. It was one of the coldest weekends of the year, so the heating was pushed to its limits in an effort to keep the house warm. It was overall a memorable birthday weekend.

Excellent property and location for a family stay.

The property is excellent for a large family to make a base to visit the various resorts and places of interest which are all nearby. The accommodation has everything you need and plenty of space for a large family and is excellent for children. The property is central to the village with good shops and pubs.

A happy place.

We were celebrating my wife's birthday by bringing our two daughters and their families together, without the responsibilities of hosting at home. Twelve in all. The entrance hall confirms that our hopes for the holiday is bang-on. As my wife and I venture within there was a warm feeling that the whole wing was going to be just perfect. Quirky and idiosyncratic mixed with comfort and style. Small but adequate Kitchen, the luxury of space in the TV room, Dining room, and entertainment room, not to forget the hall for the younger children. The garden is really great, a good flat lawn for rounders, and a well maintained terraced shrubbery, while away under the trees there is a nature habitat. We had a great holiday which was well facilitated by the house. My only regret was we didn't get to play hide and seek of the adults against the children starting in the dining room and disappearing through the special window that secretly opens out at floor level. We did use it for the barBQ. What a place for a murder mystery weekend.

A beautiful property in a great location.

We have just spent a long weekend in this lovely old house. Nine adults and five children aged 8, 2 and three under 2. Although a little chilly when we first arrived the property soon warmed up and for somewhere with such vast rooms was surprisingly cosy. There was room to run around for the little ones without fear of them hurting themselves or damaging anything which was a huge bonus for all of us, and lots of toys and games which were very much appreciated and played with. The kitchen is extremely well equipped and the range oven was perfect for cooking a roast chicken dinner for us all, even having somewhere to warm the plates! The owners very kindly left us a welcome pack of basics such as bacon, bread, milk, butter and wine. The beds were comfortable and had good quality whits bed linen with thick feather duvets. The soft, fluffy white towels and ample bathrooms for everyone were also appreciated. Everywhere was extremely clean. We didn't go out and about much as the weather wasn't brilliant but a trip to Flamborough Head blew the cobwebs away and gave us some dramatic scenery and some sunshine. We will certainly consider using this property again for similar family breaks in the future. The extensive grounds will be ideal for the little ones to play out during the summer and the sun terrace looked very appealing for warm days. Just one little observation, the piano was out of tune but we played it anyway.

Wonderful House

We stayed at South Wing to celebrate a 60th birthday, there were 10 adults in our party. The house is VERY large, but very comfortable and warm.We had an exceptional stay there is plenty of room and VERY clean. Filey is a short drive away and anyone that enjoys afternoon teas I would recommend The Lighthouse. Hunmanby village is a 2minute walk where you can find Pubs, Butchers, Post office, Boots the chemist, Chinese takeaway, tea room and a deli. You can walk to Hunmanby gap which is a very nice walk about 2.5 miles. Hope to return.

Clare's 40th Birthday

We have just returned home after a weekend of celebrations for my daughter Clare's 40th Birthday. Fifteen of us in family ranging from 3 years to 67 years. We all had a wonderful time, the boys really made good use of the garden and played football until dusk every evening, they just didn't want to come in. The weather was kind to us and we adults were also able to enjoy the garden on Saturday afternoon, tea on the terrace - perfect!!! We all loved the get together in the drawing room every evening, without the intrusion of a television. Several bottles of wine for the adults made it perfect. We did think when we arrived that the younger members of the family could possibly find the size a bit daunting but we need not have worried they all settled in immediately and really enjoyed the space. We are all planning a return visit for our next big celebration. Mary and Family

A fantastic house

We had a brilliant weekend at South Wing. There were 15 female family members aged from 18 -83 and the house exceeded all our expectations. It is much larger than we expected and we felt as though we were staying in a stately home. The furnishings and everything in the house are of a very good quality. The gardens are beautiful and we would love to come again to experience the house in the summer. There was a very acceptable welcome basket and great attention to detail. Andrew was very quick to answer any questions before we came and the visitors book is testimony to the pleasure this house has given to lots of people. We will definitely be back.

About the host

Hosted by andrew wyborn

Host profile image
My family and I bought South Wing in February 2008 to use as a holiday home. We enjoy sharing it with guests and it provides a great base to explore the North Yorkshire coast and countryside. My wife is originally from Scarborough and we are regular visitors to this fantastic part of the country. I have three kids who all love staying at South Wing and regularly invite friends up to join them. They have more space here than at home and lots to do right on the doorstep.

Many of our guests are regular visitors who enjoy the welcoming feel of South Wing and the opportunity to spend time with family and friends in a very comfortable and relaxed setting.

I am obviously a little biased but South Wing is a fantastic place to take a break!

Why they chose this property

My wife is originally from Scarborough and we have many friends and family in the area. I can pretty much work from anywhere so we tend to spend a lot of time here in the kids holidays.

As well as local friends, the things that really appeal are the house itself which is a great place to be based - it's big enough to accommodate us all in comfort without tripping over each other.

We spend a lot of time at the beach weather permitting and our kids virtually live in their wetsuits in the summer (the water is cold!). I like cycling and the Wolds are perfect for road cycling, whilst nearby Dalby Forest is a mountain biker's dream.

There's plenty for everyone and if the weather turns against you its the perfect excuse to stay in the house, crank up the log burner and relax.

What makes this property unique

There are many benefits to staying at South Wing starting with the house itself. Its a grade II* listed property, full of character but with all modern conveniences including fast broadband. We have recently fitted a stunning, modern kitchen and upgraded the TV lounge to create a cosy and comfortable space to watch your favourite shows together.

For cyclists, this is cycle heaven! The Yorkshire Wolds start right outside and offer lovely quiet roads and tracks to welcome all bike styles.

We can organise a high quality hot tub to be delivered, filled and heated ready for your arrival - please note this attracts a premium - typically £245 for a three night stay or £325 for a week and its cheaper to pay this separate to the booking fee. The hot tub can be positioned overlooking the lovely, private south facing garden.

The village centre is a two minute walk away and is very well serviced with shops, hairdressers, doctors and dentists plus an excellent fish & chip shop and several good pubs. And Yorkshires only whisky distillery is a 15 minute walk away - they offer guided tours, have a lovely café and host live music most Friday evenings.

South Wing is massive, almost 6000 sq ft of space. Despite that it is very comfortable and welcoming and provides plenty of space to be together but also to be apart!
