Gunnerside is a short trip away, a village brimming with breathtaking scenery. It boasts splendid stone houses as well as a tea room and bistro, and a takeaway. This area is full of fantastic market towns including Reeth and Richmond, well worth visiting. The Yorkshire Dales National Park is also a must-do, endless exploring for you and the family. Joe House is a fantastic traditional cottage in a stunning location.
Situated in the heart of Swaledale, Gunnerside is one of the prettiest villages in the Dales National Park. Something of a sleepy backwater, it is surrounded by traditional farm meadows, pastures and fells, with the pretty Gunnerside Beck running through the village centre before joining the glorious River Swale on the village outskirts. Amongst the cluster of old stone houses there is Ghyllfoot Tea Room and the village pub serves good food at lunchtime and in the evening. The market towns of Richmond, Leyburn, Hawes and Barnard Castle are all within 15 miles making Gunnerside a scenic and central base from which to tour the Dales.

The property is well equipped with everything - the kitchen has a good selection of pans, pots, plates, glasses, mugs, large fridge and freezer etc. The fireplace added a special atmosphere and there was wood and coal ready for us in the basket. The house was warm and cosy, and the owners were quick in replying our questions before our arrival.

The surrounding views were stunning. After 3 days we managed to find the information folder which helped a lot but felt this should have been more readily available. It was a very well equipped cottage and we loved our stay.

We really liked the location just outside the village and the great walks that were possible from the front door. Particularly liked the wood windows rather than plastic which has disfigured so many cottages in the Yorkshire Dales.
