Work-Friendly Wonders: Buisness Bookings at Thisledo Holiday Cottage

15th November 2024

It started with an email ping from Booking.com: “Your cottage is now officially Work-Friendly!” At first, as the owners of Thisledo we weren’t quite sure what that meant. A few strategic upgrades? Sure. But who knew these tweaks would transform the place into a hotspot for briefcases and PowerPoint presentations?

The first business guest arrived—a business consultant named Gerald, laptop in hand, phone already glued to his ear. He seemed skeptical at first, eyeing the cosy living room. “Can I work here?” he muttered, as though doubting the productivity potential of Yorkshire charm.

But then Gerald spotted The Table. Not just any table—an extendable work-friendly table, complete with a double electric socket nearby. The cottage might have whispered, “Go on, Gerald. Excel spreadsheets await.”

He set up shop, sipping on the complimentary tea and coffee provided (okay, it was just an instant coffee supply, but does branding matters). The high-speed Wi-Fi? Flawless. Not a single “You’re on mute” moment during his Zoom marathons.

By midweek, Gerald discovered the real perks of working from Thisledo: a coffee shop just seconds away and a lunch break stroll along Skipton’s canals. “Better than Pret,” he admitted while feeding a curious duck part of his sandwich.

As the week wore on, Gerald found the balance he never knew he needed—emails in the morning, hikes in the afternoon, and evenings with a pint at the local pub, where no one cared about his Q3 sales report.

When checkout day arrived, Gerald declared, “Thisledo is a productivity paradise!” He even left a glowing review:

“Perfect for working away from the office. The desk was solid, Wi-Fi excellent, and the surrounding nature? Inspirational. 10/10 would draft contracts here again.”

As the owners of Thisledo, proudly bearing its “Work-Friendly” badge, we couldn’t help but feel accomplished. With every mid week business guest like Gerald, it wasn’t just hosting—it was redefining the business trip, Yorkshire-style!
