Why Dutch Guests Feel at Home in Skipton

7th November 2025

Our Dutch guests often say that Skipton feels like a home away from home – just with more hills! From scenic walks and cycling routes to traditional English markets, there’s something wonderfully simple and relaxing about life in this part of Yorkshire.

Discover the Yorkshire Dales

Dutch travellers love to explore and Skipton makes that easy. The quiet country roads, green rolling hills, and canal towpaths are ideal for cycling or walking holidays.

Thisledo Cottage is just a few minutes’ walk from Skipton’s town centre and the canal basin, where you can enjoy boat rides or sit with a coffee watching the narrowboats pass. It’s the perfect base for discovering the Yorkshire Dales — including Grassington, Malham, and Haworth (home of the Brontë sisters).

Travel Tip

It’s easy to travel from the Netherlands by ferry to Hull or by plane to Manchester or Leeds Bradford, and then enjoy a scenic drive to Skipton.
