Pint-Sized Perfection: Sippin’ Outside The Castle Pub in Skipton

11th April 2025

There’s a certain magic that descends on Skipton when the sun makes an appearance. Locals blink like moles emerging from hibernation, dogs strut around like they own the place, and visitors—well, they start heading toward one of the finest pastimes known to humankind: a drink in the sun outside The Castle Inn.

If you’ve booked a stay at Thisledo Holiday Cottage (and if not, why not?!), you’re in prime position for one of the finest pleasures Skipton has to offer: an early evening drink outside The Castle Inn, where the beer is cold, the sun hits just right, and the people-watching is top tier.

Set close to Skipton Castle and next door to the historic church, The Castle Inn gives you the unique opportunity to sip a pint while pretending you’re defending the kingdom (or at least defending your crisps from a rogue pigeon). The pub has a great outdoor seating area, which on a sunny evening becomes a magnet for cheerful chatter, clinking glasses, and the occasional bewildered tourist trying to work out which direction the canal is in.

The moment the sun peeks out, tables outside The Castle fill faster than a bingo hall on pension day. You’ll see sunhats that haven’t seen daylight since Tenerife ‘06, sunglasses of questionable origin, and the unmistakable shimmer of factor 50 being hastily slapped on pale forearms.

And oh, the drinks. Whether you’re a wine sipper, a craft ale connoisseur, or someone who still thinks alcopops are making a comeback, there’s something for everyone. Pint in hand, you’ll feel like you’ve really arrived on your Yorkshire holiday. Add in a packet of pork scratchings or a shared bag of crisps, and you’re basically living the dream.

Pro tip for holidaymakers: dogs are welcome outside, so if you’ve brought your four-legged friend along to Thisledo Holiday Cottage, they can lounge under the table and judge your snack-sharing etiquette. (Yes, they do want a pork scratching!)

The whole scene is pure, unfiltered joy—an al fresco celebration of sunshine, holidays, and the undeniable charm of a pint. Just remember, as the evening wears on and that “one quick drink” turns into three… the walk back to your cottage, especially if you’ve beeen drinking some of the 7.2% ale.

Cheers to sunshine, Skipton, and semi-responsible holiday drinking. 🍻

The Creation of Our “Pets Welcome” Image: A Tail-Wagging Tale

6th April 2025

At Thisledo Holiday Cottage, we pride ourselves on being a dog-friendly paradise, where pets are as welcome as their human counterparts. But we didn’t just want to tell our guests that their furry friends are invited—we wanted to show it in the most heartwarming and slightly cheeky way possible. Thus, the creation of our “Dogs Welcome” image began, and trust us, it was a journey that had more twists and turns than a labrador chasing its tail.

Step 1: Brainstorming the Ultimate Dog-Friendly Vibe

First, we had to figure out how to visually communicate the essence of Thisledo Holiday Cottage. We knew that Skipton and the Yorkshire Dales offered the kind of picturesque scenery that makes you want to roll down the windows, inhale the fresh air, and shout, “I’ve made it!” But we didn’t want to just showcase the beauty of the landscape; we needed to make sure our four-legged guests were front and center.

We decided on a black labrador, partly because they’re adorable, partly because they don’t need a personal trainer to look perpetually happy and fit. Plus, they’re natural posers, so we knew they’d do the cottage and countryside justice. We envisioned a scene where the labrador could do what it does best: run like the wind, ears flapping in the breeze, while Skipton Castle looked on in the distance like an ancient guardian of all things awesome.

Step 2: Making Magic Happen (No Real Dogs Were Harmed)

Now, to bring this vision to life! Initially, we considered staging a photoshoot, but then we remembered that labradors are not just dogs—they’re divas. The second we tried to wrangle one into place for a shot, we were met with a flurry of excitement, wagging tails, and, let’s face it, some serious diva attitude. So, we opted for a digital illustration instead—less fur flying, fewer treats required.

We added the black labrador in full sit mode, looking like it had just been told there was a squirrel on the horizon. We positioned Skipton Castle in the background, looking as majestic as a castle can possibly look when it’s trying to keep its cool while a dog does zoomies in front of it. Then, to seal the deal, we slapped on some text: “Thisledo Holiday Cottage, Skipton, Yorkshire Dales”. A simple message, but one that says, “Yes, we have dogs, and yes, they are welcome here—bring yours too!”

Step 3: Portrait or Landscape? Decisions, Decisions

Here’s where things got really complicated. Should we make the image portrait for Instagram, or landscape for our website banner? The pressure was on. After much debate (and a few too many cups of tea), we decided on both. Why not give people the option to view the smiling labrador in every orientation possible? After all, this isn’t just about what looks good—this is about maximising the cuteness factor, and that deserves to be seen in all its glory, whether you’re scrolling or clicking through our site.

Step 4: Final Tweaks and Dog Treats

Once we had the layout sorted, we gave the image a few final tweaks. The colors were brightened, the text was made bolder, and the labrador was given an extra layer of “cuteness” (we’re not sure how it’s scientifically done, but it worked). We wanted the whole thing to scream, “Come for the cottage, stay for the wagging tails and countryside frolics!”

We added some finishing touches, ensuring the image looked so inviting that even non-pet owners would think, “You know what? Maybe I should get a dog.” Mission accomplished.

Step 5: Sharing the Love (and the Dog) with the World

Finally, the image was ready to be unleashed (pun intended) across our website and social media platforms. The feedback came pouring in from guests who were delighted to see that we really meant it when we said “Pets Welcome.” One guest even commented that they were so inspired by the image, they started looking for a dog to adopt just to enjoy a stay at Thisledo (talk about effective marketing!).

In the end, it wasn’t just about a picture—it was about showing that at Thisledo, we’re not just dog-friendly; we’re dog-enthusiasts. From the first wag of the tail to the last bark of excitement before heading out on a walk through the Dales, our goal is to make sure that every dog feels like part of the family here.

So, the next time you’re planning a getaway with your four-legged bestie, know that Thisledo Holiday Cottage is ready and waiting to roll out the welcome mat (and a treat or two). And remember, if you see a black labrador running through the fields of Skipton, it might just be our image come to life—if not, it’s probably just another dog living its best life in the Dales.

Bear Grylls Takes on the Yorkshire Dales (And a Cosy Cottage!)

6th April 2025

Imagine this: Bear Grylls, survival expert, adventurer extraordinaire, and master of extreme situations, deciding to swap the wilds of the jungle for the peaceful countryside of Skipton. Sounds like an odd choice for someone who’s spent years drinking his own urine to stay alive, but maybe Bear knows something we don’t. Welcome to “Bear Grylls Does Yorkshire” — the holiday edition.

Now, Bear’s usual survival skills include making shelters out of twigs, eating bugs for protein, and outwitting dangerous animals. But when he checked into Thisledo Holiday Cottage (yes, in Skipton, nestled in the glorious Yorkshire Dales), he quickly discovered that the only wild creatures he’d encounter would be a few sheep, some curious squirrels, and the occasional enthusiastic Labrador.

Disclaimer: For the record, this is not an actual account of Bear Grylls’ stay in Skipton (we can’t confirm or deny whether he’s ever been here). However, it would be pretty entertaining if he did! Now, back to our fictional tale…

Day 1: Arrival at Thisledo

Bear’s first challenge? Settling into a beautifully furnished, traditional stone cottage with indoor plumbing. No, you didn’t misread that — Bear, the man who once built a shelter in the Arctic out of snow and ice, had to experience the luxury of central heating. “This is luxury!” he grinned, adjusting the temperature to something vaguely warm. He immediately felt like the king of the Dales, though we did spot him eyeing the kettle with some suspicion. Old habits die hard, Bear.

Day 2: The Great Yorkshire Breakfast

A true adventurer never skips breakfast, but Yorkshire breakfast is a whole new beast. Bear was ready to take on the full English — sausages, bacon, black pudding, eggs, beans, and toast. But when the fried mushrooms appeared, Bear’s survival instincts kicked in. “What do you mean, these are just mushrooms? They’re not a survival food! Do they have any grubs inside?” No grubs to be found, just beautifully sautéed mushrooms. Bear skeptically took a bite, then paused… “Actually, this is… good. Very good.” Yorkshire Dales 1, Bear Grylls 0.

Day 3: The Dales Adventure

Bear, of course, wasn’t content with simply sitting around. He’d trekked through deserts, jungles, and mountains, but what about the Yorkshire Dales? It was time for a real challenge. He decided to hike up Pen-y-ghent — one of the famous Three Peaks. But before he could even start, he was distracted by the sight of the spectacular views (no survival situation here, just sheer beauty). So, after taking some well-deserved photos, Bear admired the view and took a moment to sip from a flask. Of tea. Yes, Bear Grylls drank tea in Yorkshire, and no, he didn’t even have to forage for it. Who knew the man could be so civilised?

Day 4: Surviving the Pub (A Very Different Challenge)

It’s time for Bear’s final test: surviving a night at the local pub. Bear entered like a conqueror, expecting to face a new challenge. Would it be an attack from rowdy pub-goers? A mysterious food shortage? Nope. It was a quiet evening of ale, hearty stews, and chip butties. His survival instincts kicked in when he was asked if he wanted “gravy” with his chips. “Gravy? Is that something I could use for survival purposes?” He asked, half-joking. After a few pints and some friendly conversation, Bear finally relaxed, realising that surviving in Yorkshire didn’t require any special skills — just the willingness to embrace the culture. And a pint or two.

Day 5: The Final Verdict

Bear Grylls, the man who’s braved nearly every extreme environment, left Skipton with a smile. “I thought surviving in the Yorkshire Dales would be hard,” he said, packing up to leave. “But the real challenge was deciding whether to have scones with clotted cream or just dive straight into a Yorkshire pudding.” He even took a moment to thank Thisledo Holiday Cottage for providing the best survival essentials: comfort, and a dog-friendly atmosphere. “Who knew?” he mused, “surviving a holiday can actually be this relaxing.”

As Bear Grylls ventured back to his next big adventure, we couldn’t help but wonder: Would the Yorkshire Dales be his new favorite destination?

The answer? Well, he did book another week. But this time, he promised to leave the wild survival tactics at home — and bring a few extra pairs of woolly socks. After all, there’s no such thing as over-prepared for a stay at Thisledo.

A Delightful Discovery: Keelham is Back – Meet Robertshaws!

4th April 2025

One of the joys of a stay in Skipton is discovering fantastic local food, and for many, Keelham Farm Shop was an unmissable stop. So, when it closed, there was a collective sigh of disappointment. But guess what? It’s back – sort of – and better than ever! Keelham has been reborn as Robertshaws, and it still delivers everything we loved: top-quality local produce, fantastic food, and a warm Yorkshire welcome.

A Farm Shop Worth the Short Trip

If you’re staying at Thisledo Holiday Cottage, you’re already perfectly placed for foodie adventures. Robertshaws is just a short drive from Thisledo, making it an easy (and utterly worthwhile) excursion. Whether you need supplies for a home-cooked meal, a picnic for a day out in the Dales, or just a good excuse for a browse and a bite to eat, it’s the perfect stop.

What to Expect at Robertshaws

Everything you loved about Keelham is still here – but with a fresh start under the Robertshaw family name. The farm shop is packed with locally sourced meat, fresh fruit and veg, artisan cheeses, and a selection of irresistible treats (it would be rude not to take home a cake… or two).

The on-site deli and café serve up hearty Yorkshire breakfasts, homemade pies, and mouth-watering cakes that will have you debating whether you should stay for just one more cup of tea.

And if you’re in the market for locally brewed beer, fresh bakery goods, or a beautiful cut of meat for a special dinner back at the cottage, you’ll find plenty to tempt you.

The Perfect Addition to Your Skipton Stay

One of the best things about a cottage holiday is the freedom to eat what you want, when you want – and when the ingredients are this good, it’s a pleasure to cook (or at least assemble a cheeseboard with a nice bottle of something local!).

So, next time you’re in Skipton, take a little detour to Robertshaws. Whether you remember Keelham or not, you’ll love this fresh take on a much-loved farm shop.

Planning Your Visit

• Where? Robertshaws Farm Shop, Skipton
• Distance from Thisledo? Around a 3 minute drive
• Perfect for? Stocking up on delicious local food, a leisurely breakfast, or picking up gifts to take home (if they last that long!)

Enjoy your visit – and don’t forget to bring back something tasty!

Thisledo Holiday Cottage News: The Only News You Need (If You Like Sheep, Markets & Puddings)

3rd April 2025

Welcome to Thisledo Holiday Cottage News—your essential source of updates for all things happening in Skipton and, most importantly, at your favourite cosy getaway. Forget doomscrolling the latest world news; we’re here to keep you informed about the things that really matter—like where to find the best cup of tea, which pub is currently serving the crispiest fish and chips, and why the sheep seem to be watching you.

The Headlines You Actually Care About

1. Skipton Market: Still Going Strong (And Still Trying to Sell You a Spatula)

The legendary Skipton Market remains the place to be, with its charming mix of local goods, fresh produce, and delightful Yorkshire banter. Whether you need a handcrafted candle, a chunk of Wensleydale cheese, or something oddly specific (a spatula shaped like a sheep, perhaps?), you’ll find it here.

2. The Sheep Are Watching (But Why?)

If you’ve ever walked through the Dales or even just strolled down a Skipton lane, you’ve likely felt the intense gaze of a sheep or two. Are they silently judging your walking boots? Do they disapprove of your picnic choices? The mystery remains, but one thing is certain—Skipton’s woolly residents make for excellent (if slightly unresponsive) company.

3. Yorkshire Pudding Etiquette Reminder

Reports suggest that someone—possibly a tourist—attempted to eat a Yorkshire pudding with a knife and fork instead of its rightful purpose: as a delicious gravy-holding vessel. While we believe in hospitality at Thisledo Holiday Cottage, we must also uphold local traditions. Please, enjoy your pudding responsibly.

4. Thisledo Holiday Cottage: The Best Place to Stay (According to Us, And Probably You Too)

After a day of exploring Skipton’s market, dodging judgmental sheep, and correctly consuming Yorkshire puddings, there’s no better place to unwind than Thisledo Holiday Cottage.

Trump’s Tariffs? No Problem – Your Skipton Getaway is Safe!

3rd April 2025

Ah, tariffs. The mere mention of them brings to mind trade wars, economic debates, and stern-faced news anchors. But let’s be honest—none of that should stand between you and a relaxing break at Thisledo Holiday Cottage in Skipton.

Sure, global economies might be shaken, and the price of imported avocados could fluctuate wildly, but here’s why none of that should impact your stay in Yorkshire’s loveliest market town.

1. No Tariffs on Yorkshire Air

Breathe in. That’s the crisp, clean air of the Yorkshire Dales, and guess what? It’s completely tariff-free. No need to worry about additional levies or import duties when you take in a deep breath of Skipton’s finest oxygen—though you might get a whiff of fish and chips if you stand too close to Bizzie Lizzie’s (not a bad problem to have).

2. A Proper Brew is Always Affordable

Even if global trade wars send prices of fancy imported coffee beans through the roof, we can guarantee you’ll still get a proper Yorkshire brew at a sensible price. A strong cup of tea at Thisledo is more than just a drink—it’s a reassuring sign that, no matter what’s happening on the world stage, some things remain delightfully unchanged.

3. Skipton’s Cobblestones are Trade-War Resistant

Unlike high-tech gadgets or foreign luxury cars, Skipton’s historic streets don’t rely on international supply chains. The castle has been standing since the 12th century, and we’re fairly confident it’s not going anywhere just because of a few tariff negotiations.

4. No Import Duties on Local Delicacies

Worried about the rising cost of imported goods? Fear not! A pork pie from Stanforth’s is as local as it gets, and the only thing that might affect its price is how fast you can get to the counter before the lunch rush.

5. Thisledo is Inflation-Proof (Sort Of)

Okay, we can’t promise that prices will never change, but we can guarantee that Thisledo offers excellent value no matter what’s happening in the wider world. A cosy stone cottage, a central location, and a welcome for both you and your dog—none of that is up for negotiation, even if international trade agreements are.

So, if the latest news on tariffs has you feeling a bit frazzled, there’s only one logical solution: book a trip to Skipton, switch off the news, and enjoy a tariff-free stay in Yorkshire’s happiest little hideaway.

Fish, Chips, and Holiday Bliss at Bizzie Lizzie’s in Skipton

2nd April 2025

There are some things that simply belong together—like Yorkshire and pudding, teapots and cosy cottages, or, in this case, a holiday in Skipton and a trip to Bizzie Lizzie’s for fish and chips. If you find yourself in this charming market town, staying in a delightful holiday cottage (perhaps one named Thisledo… just saying), then it’s practically a rule that you must indulge in this iconic British feast at least once. Or twice. Or every night if you like to live dangerously.

The Great British Dilemma: Eat In or Takeaway?

First, you face a crucial decision. Do you sit inside, where the warm scent of crispy batter and salt & vinegar surrounds you? Or do you opt for the classic takeaway experience—wrapped in paper, eaten outdoors, possibly while fending off a particularly bold seagull? The choice is yours, but either way, you won’t be disappointed.

The Main Event: Fish, Chips & the All-Important Cup of Tea

At Bizzie Lizzie’s, the fish is golden, the chips are fluffy, and the mushy peas are… well, divisive (love them or hate them, they’re here to stay). And, of course, a proper chippy meal isn’t complete without a piping hot cup of tea. It’s the only time in Britain where tea and fried food seem like a match made in heaven.

The Location: Waterside Perfection

There are two locations to choose from: one by the canal, where you can watch the ducks eyeing up your chips with envy, and the other in High Street Car Park, which is perfect for those who can’t wait a second longer to dig in. The canl side location is great to watch the narrowboats drift by as you munch and the High Street Car Park location is a short stroll from the castle—ideal for a post-chippy wander to “walk it off” (or, more realistically, to make room for dessert).

Back to the Cottage: The Aftermath

After a hefty portion of fish and chips, you’ll waddle back to your holiday cottage, utterly content. Perhaps you’ll collapse onto the sofa, vowing never to eat again (until breakfast, of course). Or maybe you’ll enjoy a peaceful evening, listening to the distant baa of a sheep, reflecting on the simple joys of good food in a beautiful place.

Either way, one thing’s for sure—no trip to Skipton is complete without a visit to Bizzie Lizzie’s. So, go on, treat yourself. After all, calories don’t count when you’re on holiday, right?

All Aboard for Skipton! A Rail Adventure to Your Cosy Cottage Stay

28th March 2025

There’s something rather charming about arriving in Skipton by train. It’s a journey that feels like an adventure—rolling past green fields, grazing sheep, and the odd startled pheasant, all while the anticipation of a peaceful getaway builds. And then, just as your holiday excitement peaks, the train slows, the conductor cheerily calls out, “Skipton!” and you step onto the platform, ready to embrace your countryside escape.

From Platform to Paradise

One of the great joys of staying in a centrally located Skipton holiday cottage is that there’s no faffing about with taxis or figuring out bus timetables. The town centre is just a short stroll away, meaning your holiday can begin the moment your feet touch the ground. In fact, within minutes, you could be enjoying a cuppa in a quaint café, watching the world go by, or even sampling your first Yorkshire pudding of the trip.

Suitcase Strategy (or, The Art of Packing Wisely)

While the walk from the station to your cottage is delightfully straightforward, let’s talk luggage. If you’re planning on bringing everything but the kitchen sink, you might want to rethink your packing strategy. Cobbled streets and overflowing suitcases are not the best of friends! A small wheeled bag or a trusty backpack will make your arrival all the smoother. Besides, you’ll want some extra room for those inevitable purchases at Skipton’s famous market.

First Stops and Must-Do’s

Once you’ve checked into your cottage and put the kettle on, the next question is: what first? Well, if you’re anything like us, a good stretch of the legs is always a fine idea—perhaps a wander along the canal towpath, admiring the narrowboats, or a gentle amble up to the castle for a bit of history and breathtaking views. Alternatively, if your idea of a perfect arrival involves more of a “feet up, drink in hand” situation, you’ll be pleased to know that some of Skipton’s finest pubs are just a hop, skip, and a jump away.

A Car-Free Holiday Bliss

The beauty of arriving by train is that you can fully embrace the car-free holiday lifestyle. No sat-nav debates, no parking woes—just good old-fashioned exploring on foot. Skipton is wonderfully walkable, with independent shops, cosy tea rooms, and stunning countryside all within easy reach. And if you fancy a little further flung adventure, the local bus and train services make venturing into the Yorkshire Dales a breeze.

The Perfect Start to Your Skipton Stay

So, if you’re wondering whether arriving by train is the way to go—consider this your sign! It’s a relaxed, scenic, and stress-free way to start your stay, leaving you more time to enjoy everything that Skipton has to offer. Whether it’s a short break or a longer escape, your cosy town-centre holiday cottage is waiting. Now, who’s putting the kettle on?

Skipton Course Survival Guide: Why a Holiday Cottage is the Smart Choice

27th March 2025

So, you (or your other half) have signed up for a course in Skipton. Maybe it’s a photography workshop, a dry-stone walling masterclass, or something mysteriously titled “Advanced Sheep Whispering.” Whatever the reason, you now need a comfortable place to stay. Hotels are fine, B&Bs are quaint, but if you really want to make the most of your time in Skipton, a holiday cottage is the way to go. Here’s why.

Space to Spread Out (and Hide Your Study Notes)

Unlike a hotel room, where the only available workspace is a wobbly bedside table, a holiday cottage gives you actual space to work, think, and—if necessary—dramatically spread out your course notes in a mild panic. If you’re the one attending the course, you can return to a proper home-like setting rather than trying to revise while balancing a laptop on your knees.

And if your partner is the one on the course? Even better. That means you can claim the best seat, set up camp with a cup of Yorkshire Tea, and enjoy the peace and quiet while they’re off learning something new.

Work From ‘Home’ With a View

If you’re planning to work remotely while your partner is busy, a holiday cottage is a game-changer. Forget perching in a noisy café with questionable Wi-Fi. At a cottage, you’ll have reliable internet, a comfortable spot to work, and—when you need a break—the charming town of Skipton right on your doorstep.

Instead of staring at a soulless hotel wall, your Zoom background can be something far more impressive: exposed stone walls, a crackling fireplace, or even a view of Skipton Castle if you position your laptop just right. That should impress your colleagues (or at least make them jealous).

Freedom to Do Your Own Thing

When staying in a cottage, you’re not bound by hotel breakfast times or awkward small talk with fellow guests. You can lounge in your pyjamas, cook your own meals, or treat yourself to a lazy morning while your partner heads off for their intensive session on “The Art of Perfecting the Yorkshire Pudding” (we wish this was a real course).

And if you’re the one on the course? It’s always nice to come back to a cosy home rather than a sterile hotel room. Feet up, dinner in the oven, and maybe even your partner greeting you with a glass of wine (well, we can dream).

Skipton Is Perfect for Exploring

If you’re the partner with free time, you’ve struck gold. Skipton is packed with things to do. Stroll along the canal, explore the independent shops, visit Skipton Castle, or hop on a steam train through the Dales. If you’re feeling energetic, there are walking routes galore—just be careful not to return covered in mud right before your partner gets back from their course.

Or, if a more relaxed pace is your style, find a cosy café, get lost in a good book, and fully embrace the “I’m on holiday, actually” lifestyle.

A True Home Away From Home

At the end of the day, whether you’re here for serious learning or just tagging along for the adventure, a holiday cottage gives you the best of both worlds: a comfortable, private space where you can unwind, work (if you must), and enjoy Skipton at your own pace.

So, next time you or your partner are looking at courses in Skipton, don’t just book a hotel out of habit. Stay somewhere that makes the whole experience more enjoyable—after all, learning is great, but having a relaxing retreat at the end of the day is even better.
