Woof Woof! A Dog’s Guide to a Paw-some Stay at a Dog-Friendly Holiday Cottage in Skipton

15th September 2024

Hey, fellow four-legged friends (and your humans too)! It’s me, Molly—your favourite furry correspondent—here to tell you all about my barking mad adventure in the Yorkshire Dales. If you’re a dog who loves the great outdoors, muddy paws, and sniffing everything in sight, listen up! I just spent a glorious weekend at Thisledo Holiday Cottage, the most pawsome dog-friendly holiday cottage in Skipton. Trust me, it was tail-waggingly amazing!

Day 1: Arriving at the Holiday Cottage

The moment we pulled up to this charming stone cottage in Skipton, I knew I was in for a treat. It had that cosy, homely smell—you know, like biscuits and muddy boots. My humans were all excited about the “charm” and “modern comforts,” but all I cared about a walk to explore Aireville Park which is just minutes away. More space to run around and dig than I’ve ever seen!

The cottage was fully equipped with all the doggo essentials:

Comfy couches (which my humans said I wasn’t supposed to get on… yeah right).
A a real flame gas fireplace where I could curl up and dry off after splashing in muddy puddles.

But the best part? It’s located in Skipton, the Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales, where walkies are EPIC.

Day 2: Skipton Castle & Doggy-Friendly Adventures

We kicked off day two with a stroll through Skipton. My humans were all about visiting Skipton Castle, one of the most well-preserved castles in England. I thought it was a giant chew toy. Unfortunately, dogs can’t go inside, but no worries—I had a grand time peeing on the walls outside!

Afterward, we explored the town, and let me tell you, Skipton knows how to treat a dog. Plenty of cafés welcomed me inside while my humans had lunch, and guess who got sneaky sausage scraps under the table? (Pro tip: Give them those puppy eyes. Works every time.)

Day 3: Walkies in the Yorkshire Dales – Doggy Paradise

Oh boy, day three was ALL about the Yorkshire Dales. This place is like Disneyland for dogs! There are miles and miles of trails, fields, and hills to roam. We started with a trek along the Pennine Way, and I made sure to sniff every single blade of grass.

The air was crisp, the views were breathtaking, and there were so many sheep! But here’s a pro tip for you fellow pups: the humans get super stressed when you run after the sheep. They get all shouty and serious, so it’s best to just give them a good stare and move on to more interesting things. Like the fresh streams! Oh yeah, nothing like splashing in cold Yorkshire water.

We also visited Malham Cove, which was like a giant rocky playground for me. My paws were all over the place—climbing, running, and chasing my tail. My humans kept saying things like “stunning views” and “natural beauty,” but honestly, all I saw were endless possibilities for mischief.

The Nights: Snoozing in Luxury

After all that exploring, I was dog-tired. Thankfully, the holiday cottage was the perfect place to unwind. The humans made dinner, and I got the good scraps (a bit of roast chicken, anyone?). Then it was time to curl up by the fire and dream of more adventures.

The bed situation? Well, I have my own and enjoyed having the run of downstairs. And the best part? This cottage was so quiet at night—no noisy neighbours or scary sounds, just my snoring.
