Why You Should Choose to Stay at Thisledo for a Midweek Business Trip
19th October 2025
Business trips don’t have to mean beige hotel rooms, instant coffee sachets, and that mysterious humming sound coming from the air conditioning unit. If you find yourself heading to Skipton during the week, there’s a far more civilised way to combine business with a touch of pleasure: stay at Thisledo Holiday Cottage.
Nestled right in the heart of Skipton — just a short stroll from the High Street — Thisledo offers the perfect home-from-home for the midweek traveller who prefers their own front door and a bit of peace and quiet after a busy day.
1. Work-Friendly Comforts (Without the Corporate Vibe)
Let’s face it — after a day of meetings or site visits, you don’t want to be tapping away on a wobbly desk in a hotel lobby while someone’s latte froth lands on your laptop. At Thisledo, you can spread out at the dining table, make yourself a proper brew, and actually get things done — all while wearing slippers if you fancy.
There’s fast Wi-Fi, plenty of space to set up your laptop, and a cosy living room where you can switch seamlessly from spreadsheets to Netflix.
2. Midweek Rates That Make Sense
Why pay weekend prices when you can enjoy all the same comfort midweek — often at a better rate? Business travellers love the flexibility of staying Monday to Thursday, with no crowds, no queues, and a bit more calm around town. You’ll even find parking easier, and getting a table at your favourite restaurant is suddenly effortless.
3. Central Location, Easy Commute
Skipton is perfectly placed for meetings across Yorkshire and Lancashire, with excellent transport links by road and rail. Whether you’re visiting clients in Leeds, heading over to Harrogate, or attending a training course nearby, you’ll be back at Thisledo in no time — ready to unwind.
And because the cottage is right in Skipton town centre, you can pop out for dinner, pick up supplies, or just enjoy a quiet walk by the canal without needing to drive anywhere.
4. Proper Rest, Proper Privacy
Hotels have their place, but they also have noisy corridors, early morning cleaning trolleys, and the occasional fire alarm at 6am. At Thisledo, it’s just you, the sound of the church clock tower in the distance, and maybe a friendly woof from the occasional passing dog. (Yes — dogs are welcome here too, in case your four-legged assistant comes along.)
5. Because You Deserve a Bit of Dales Charm
Even on a business trip, it’s nice to feel like you’ve actually been somewhere. Skipton is known as the “Gateway to the Dales,” and Thisledo gives you the best of both worlds — easy access to town for work, and countryside views just minutes away.
Grab a takeaway from one of Skipton’s excellent restaurants, unwind by the fire, and remind yourself that business travel doesn’t have to be bland.
So, Why Thisledo?
Because business trips should feel less like work and more like a midweek escape with Wi-Fi.
Book your midweek stay at Thisledo Holiday Cottage, Skipton, and discover how productive (and relaxing) working away can really be.
