The property was perfect for a large family group. Very comfortable, spacious and well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our stay. The garden is also secluded and very spacious. Great for socialising outside.

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 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.

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.

Hi Thomas, I hope you and family are well? Many thanks for taking the time to review your stay at South Wing and my apologies for taking so long to reply:-) I hope we see you back at this lovely house soon.
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.

Hi Julie, it's been a while but I finally got round to tidying up my VRBO inbox! Thanks very much for staying with us and for taking the time to post this lovely review.
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.

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.

Thank you for this lovely review and great to hear that you enjoyed your stay. South Wing is an idyllic house for families and friends to get together without tripping over each other. It sounds like you had good weather and enjoyed the beautiful gardens and the new bbq. Hope to see you back soon!
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.

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.

Hi Angela, thank you very much for your lovely review and I'm delighted that you enjoyed your stay at South Wing. It really is a great year-round venue with plenty of room indoors and lots to do in the surrounding area. As you will have seen for stay at home days we have provided Sky HD+ with all sports channels, fast internet access, music stations and lots of games and books for all the family.
In the immediate area many of our guests take advantage of the pay and play golf and tennis or simply enjoy the large gardens and woods. Good to hear that you found you way to the beach on foot and hopefully the tide was out when you got there as it opens up a 7 mile sweep of sand stretching from Filey Brig to Reighton Sands.

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.

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.

Hi Ruth, I'm delighted you enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you again in the summer. North Yorkshire is a lovely place to visit all year round and in the summer you can get out and enjoy the fantastic nearby beaches and local walks. As you will have seen the large gardens are South facing with uninterrupted views over the golf course and out to Filey Bay. They make a great base to plan the days activities and to enjoy an early evening catch up. The gardens also provide plenty of space for the kids to run off any excess energy!
Hope to see you soon and thanks again for your feedback! Andrew Wyborn (Owner)
About the host
Hosted by andrew wyborn
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!
