Thisledo Holiday Cottage: Skipton’s Best Dog-Friendly Getaway (For Two Well-Behaved Humans)
2nd March 2025
Skipton, the Gateway to the Dales, is packed with history, charm, and enough scenic walks to keep even the most energetic of dogs wagging their tails in delight. But where should you stay to get the best experience? A hotel that thinks “dog-friendly” means shoving a water bowl in the corner? A Sykes rental that costs more in “dog fees” than your own stay? No thanks.
Enter Thisledo Holiday Cottage—the ultimate dog-friendly retreat in Skipton. It’s cosy, it’s charming, and best of all, it welcomes dogs like the VIPs (Very Important Pooches) they truly are. Oh, and it’s also great for two well-behaved humans.
Why Your Dog Will Love Thisledo
🐾 No silly rules – Some places say they’re dog-friendly but then list more restrictions than a bank loan application. Not here. Your dog is actually welcome. No awkward conversations about breed restrictions, no funny looks if they have muddy paws—just tail-wagging freedom. We have only one rule and that is no dogs upstairs please.
🐾 Walkies Galore – Your pup will be spoilt for choice with nearby scenic walks. The Leeds-Liverpool Canal is just a few minutes away, perfect for a gentle stroll (or a dramatic squirrel chase). Want something more adventurous? The Yorkshire Dales are on your doorstep, ready for romps through rolling hills and postcard-perfect landscapes.
🐾 A proper dog-friendly town – Skipton is full of pubs, cafés, and shops that welcome four-legged customers with open arms (and the occasional biscuit). The Woolly Sheep Inn? Dog-friendly. The Royal Shepherd? Dog-friendly. The Kibble Bakery Cafe, a dog friendly coffee house. Your dog could probably run for mayor and win.
Why Your Humans Will Love It Too
🐾 Cosy cottage vibes – This isn’t some bland, characterless rental. It’s a traditional stone cottage with modern comforts, full of charm, and perfect for relaxing after a day exploring.
🐾 A proper kitchen – Fancy cooking? The kitchen is well-equipped for anything from a full English to a gourmet meal. Prefer to leave the cooking to the experts? Skipton has fantastic restaurants and takeaways (many of which, you guessed it, are dog-friendly).
🐾 The location is unbeatable – Nestled in the heart of Skipton, you can step outside and be in the market town’s bustling centre in minutes. That means award-winning butchers, cute coffee shops, and the best pork pies in Yorkshire just a short walk away.
