1 / 20Joe's Barn
Dacre Banks, North Yorkshire
A stone barn conversion for six at Dacre Banks in Nidderdale, with underfloor heating, a large enclosed garden around it, a private hot tub and two dogs welcome.
Joe's Barn is a bright and spacious stone barn conversion tucked away down a private drive in Dacre Banks, a delightful village in the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This dog friendly barn sleeps six with two dogs, and a large enclosed garden surrounds the whole property, with a private hot tub looking out over the countryside.
Underfloor heating greets everyone at the door, the dogs included, and the entrance hall takes the coats and muddy boots. The open plan living space is the hub of the house, with a sofa, a fully equipped kitchen with a Rangemaster oven, and a dining table for the feast and a board game afterwards. Off it, the formal lounge has French doors that open onto the terrace and fill the room with light.
Upstairs are three beautiful bedrooms, a zip and link super-king served by an en suite shower room, a spacious twin and a lovely double, plus a family bathroom with a roll-top bath. Outside, the generous lawn gives children and dogs plenty of room to run about together, two patio areas have plenty of furniture, and the hot tub is the place to soak after a long walk and stargaze.
Walks and cycle routes start from the doorstep and the Nidderdale Way passes through the village, so the dogs can set off on foot every day. A footpath from the end of the lane leads to Pateley Bridge, 4 miles away, whose high street was once voted Britain's best, while the village store and a cosy pub serving homecooked food are a 300 metre stroll. Brimham Rocks are close by, and the spa town of Harrogate has the Valley Gardens, the Turkish Baths and the Royal Hall.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Joe's Barn dog friendly?
Yes, Joe's Barn welcomes up to two dogs. The barn conversion has been set up with dogs genuinely in mind — there's a dedicated entrance hall for muddy boots and wet coats, underfloor heating across the whole ground floor that any damp dog will gravitate towards, and an enclosed garden wrapping all four sides of the property.
Are dogs allowed at Joe's Barn year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, and the setup — underfloor heating, a utility and shower room downstairs for washing off, and field paths right on the doorstep — suggests it's well suited to year-round visits whatever the weather.
What should I know before visiting Joe's Barn with my dog?
Up to two dogs are welcome, and the ground floor is designed to handle the realities of dog ownership — there's a utility and shower room downstairs so dogs can be towelled off before they reach the bedrooms. The enclosed garden is a good spot to let them settle safely, and field paths around Dacre Banks are within easy reach for a first walk of the morning. If you're planning to visit How Stean Gorge nearby, dogs are welcome on a lead through the limestone gorge.
