Dog-Friendly Cottage, Skipton
Welcome to Thisledo Holiday Cottage, your charming and cosy stone-built retreat in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. Perfectly suited for couples or solo travellers, our cottage offers a delightful blend of modern comfort and historic character, just a short walk from Skipton's vibrant town centre.
For over 20 years, we've been welcoming guests to this special spot, and we can't wait to welcome you.
Step through the red door into a warm, inviting atmosphere. The cosy sitting room is the perfect place to unwind, featuring a comfortable leather sofa, a striking gas fireplace, and a 42” Smart TV for your entertainment. You can also set the mood with the sound system provided.
The modern, fully-equipped kitchen features stylish grey cabinetry and everything you need for your stay, including an oven, hob, microwave, fridge, and dishwasher. Enjoy your morning coffee at the breakfast bar or sit down for a meal in the cozy dining nook.
Upstairs, you'll find a peaceful double bedroom with charming feature wallpaper and a stylish bathroom complete with a walk-in shower, patterned floor tiles, a hairdryer, and an iron for your convenience.
Outside, the secure rear yard offers an outdoor dining area for enjoying a meal in the fresh air, secure storage for your bicycles, and an outbuilding with an additional freezer.
• High-Speed Wi-Fi: Free TalkTalk Full Fibre (150M/bps) is perfect for streaming or remote work.

You will have exclusive access to the entire cottage. Self check-in is available for your convenience, allowing you to arrive and settle in with ease. This includes the main house, the private rear yard, and the outbuilding.
THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
Tucked just off Gargrave Road, the cottage is only a five-minute walk from the heart of Skipton. Explore the town's historic 900-year-old castle, wander along the canal, or browse the independent shops and famous market, which runs four days a week.
Beyond the town, the magnificent Yorkshire Dales await. Discover vast, scenic landscapes on a scenic ramble, or visit the nearby Embsay Reservoir, a serene oasis perfect for fishing and walking. In the
evenings, enjoy the fantastic local restaurants, bars, and pubs, all within easy walking distance.
