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

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.

About the host

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!
