Explore the Historic Market Town of Skipton

Skipton has so much to offer, from its historic castle to the lively market just a five minute short stroll away. Skipton Castle is over 900 years old and provides a wonderful glimpse into Yorkshire’s rich history. You can wander hand-in-hand through its beautiful grounds, soak in the stunning views, and enjoy the timeless appeal of this beautifully preserved castle.

As you meander through the town’s cobbled streets, you’ll find an array of independent shops, artisan markets, and lovely cafés that Skipton is known for. Take your time, savor a leisurely lunch, or stop for tea and a slice of something sweet in one of the charming tearooms.

Discover the Beauty of the Yorkshire Dales

For nature-loving couples, the Yorkshire Dales provide endless opportunities to enjoy the countryside. Skipton is known as the “Gateway to the Dales,” and from Thisledo, you’ll be just a short drive or stroll from rolling hills, scenic walking trails, and breathtaking viewpoints. Whether you’re up for a gentle ramble or a brisk hike, the landscape offers all kinds of inspiration for those who enjoy reconnecting with nature. It’s a setting that invites you to breathe deeply, relax fully, and enjoy the simpler pleasures.

Evenings In and Local Dining Delights

Evenings at Thisledo are a treat. Prepare a meal together in the cottage’s well-equipped kitchen, or let one of Skipton’s fantastic pubs or restaurants do the work for you. Within walking distance, you’ll find dining options with menus filled with fresh, local ingredients—perfect for a special night out. After a delicious meal, stroll back to your cosy haven and settle in for a quiet evening.

Prefer to stay in? The cottage is ideal for a restful night, with board games, books, and perhaps a little music to set the mood. It’s a lovely way to unwind together, leaving behind the demands of the day-to-day.
