About the host

Hosted by Sarah Wilson

Host profile image
Sarah and Gordon have been the proud owners of Joe House for the past 10 years during which time we have lovingly restored this beautiful property. Much of the work has been done ourselves, with Gordon learning the skills of lime plastering amongst others. When more technical skills were required we have used the great local craftsmen of Swaledale - who have never let us down!
We live in West Yorkshire with our daughter, Ella who loves the cottage, especially the park in Reeth and throwing stones into the river Swale.
We hope people will fall in love with both Swaledale and Joe House as we did - it is a stunning location.

Why they chose this property

We have always loved Swaledale - it is a very special place. Joe House allows us to enjoy the area from a fabulous location with all the comforts of home but surrounded by the true character of the Dales. We visit Joe House regularly with our family and friends and so we make sure it is equipped with everything we might need for our stay - which means it will be perfect for you too. We have a high proportion of repeat guests, who continually tell us how wonderful Joe House is and has become to them and their families.

What makes this property unique

Joe House is a unique property which has foundations dating from the 15th century but includes refurbishment done through the centuries, including plenty of Victorian character - anyone with an interest in the architecture of the Dales will find plenty to talk about.
The refurbishment work we have done and the furnishings give a perfect mix of old and new - so you can feel the character but enjoy the comfort of modern facilities.
We have filled the house with books and maps to help you explore the area, as well as toys for the kids when you want to stay nearby.
We are also happy to give guidance on local walks and attractions to help you plan your stay.
It is perfectly located in a secluded spot but gives great access to other areas in the Dales and is walkable to the local pub (the pub is reopening on 8th Nov 2019) - the local pubs in Muker and Low Row are also fantastic & approx 3 miles away.
