Goodbye Porri Nook, Hello New Adventures — Why Thisledo Should Be Your Next Skipton Retreat
20th December 2025
For years, Porri Nook — a cosy Skipton holiday cottage tucked away at 20 Woodman Terrace — has been a much-loved home-from-home for couples seeking a romantic escape to the Yorkshire Dales. With its one super-king bedroom, welcoming gas fire, classic stone walls and snug sitting room, it offered a truly traditional Yorkshire cottage experience right in the heart of Skipton. Guests loved the short stroll into town, canal walks on the doorstep, and evenings spent soaking up the peace of this historic market town.
But now — with the property for sale and no longer operating as a holiday let for the foreseeable future — regulars who’ve made lifelong memories there are naturally wondering: where to next?
If your heart’s still set on that same Skipton charm, you’re in luck…

Just a stone’s throw from Porri Nook’s, Thisledo Holiday Cottage is one of Skipton’s most treasured alternatives — especially for returning visitors and couples.
