It's such a beautiful setting. A perfect place to take our puppy for lovely walks šŸ•ā€šŸ¦ŗ


Jamie, July 2023

Incredibly peaceful, private and relaxing location, amazing facilities for us and our dog. Wonderful friendly and helpful team running the lodges made our stay a breeze.

Looking forward to visiting again.


Norma Zaozirnyj, August 2022

Had a lovely stay last year, would love to return


Juliane Bishop, August 2022

The Lodges are lovely, modern and comfortable. Very friendly and helpful. Lovely walks. Very peaceful.


Julie Pennington, August 2022

Amazing place and they make it so easy to take your fur babies.


paul mccloud, October 2021

Amazing space and the lodges are fully equipped for all your dogs needs


Gerry Crookes, October 2021

We visit Riverdale Lodges every year now and, as well as the lovely setting, it's the most dog-friendly self-catering accommodation we know. The hosts, Ingrid and Han always go the extra mile to make everything perfect for humans and dogs alike. Lots of lovely walks and a dog friendly pub just around the corner.


Mick Horton, October 2021

Gorgeous lodges in awesome location, beautifully equipped, and lovely & clean with luxury bedding and towels. It was the most well equipped self catering accommodation weā€™ve ever stayed in - even fresh flowers on arrival. Secure decking areas for each lodge was fantastic! For the pooch ā€¦ we just needed to arrive with the dog, his food & lead!

Everything else you could need for dog (s) was supplied - personalised treats, food & water bowls, endless towels, throws, bed, crate, dog gate, poo bags, brushes, torches for late night comfort breaks. Definitely 5 star plus!


Diane Steinmetz, October 2021

Riverdale provides everything you need for your dog, beds, bowls, blankets, towels etc (but you're welcome to bring your own), they have a dedicated shower room for them and there is a jar of personalised treats waiting for them in your accommodation. The shepherd's huts even have their own enclosed gardens - perfect. Best dog friendly accommodation we have found .


Birgit Stapleton, September 2021

Excellent comfortable and dare I say it luxury accommodation for humans. Dogs however are the priority and every possible situation is being catered for, from dog beds in all shapes and sizes (even orthopaedic) to warm water dog shower and drying room after a wet and muddy walk. Securely fenced in areas are also available for a good run, even for reactive dogs. Great pub within easy walking distance, which is also very dog friendly.


Liz Edwards, September 2021

The accommodation (safari tents, lodges and shepherds huts ) is 5* plus, for humans. Pure luxury. The location is amazing, rural, stunningly beautiful and soā€¦.relaxing!

Dogs are truly welcome, even down to a personalised jar of treats, plus bed, crate if needed, bowls, towels and hairbrush.

The patio / garden area of the units has been dog proofed. Last year, my Houdini rescue dog escaped within minutes of arrival. Within half an hour , the manager had installed chicken wire to prevent further incident!

Now back for the second time within 9 months. No escapes this time!

I cannot endorse this venue enoughā€¦ā€¦.reluctantly because I donā€™t want it to be booked up next time we want to come!!


Alexandra Griffiths, August 2021

Beautiful place to stay. Accommodation very dog friendly - beds, toys, treats, bowls, grooming, towels, wash houseā€¦literally everything you could want. Loads of walking nearby including off lead walking.


Gina Raymond, August 2021

We went to Riverdale in July 2021 - the first time I took my working cocker on a holiday. Sheā€™s quite a nervous monkey in new places (though super friendly) and being allowed on the furniture at home, I didnā€™t want to spend my whole break worrying about her jumping on the sofas - I wanted her to feel as relaxed as possible and that needs me to stay relaxed too. So many places claim to be dog friendly but donā€™t allow dogs on the furniture. Riverdale even provided throws for sofas (so I didnā€™t need to bring my own) dog beds, crates, food bowls, towels specifically for the dogs, toys and arrival treats. The only place they arenā€™t allowed is the beds but with the aid of a baby gate - also provided by Riverdale - that was easily manageable. Although a bit nervous on arrival, Cocoa had a great time exploring the fields, woodland and the river surrounding the site. We did bring a mud daddy but neednā€™t have, since thereā€™s a great dog wash facility near reception. Super friendly management, lots of facilities, fully equipped kitchen, loads of walking guides, brilliant WiFi (good enough to stream Netflix) and I even saw Tesco deliver to one of the lodges! Would definitely go back - trying to find places with equal dog friendliness, particularly the sofa allowance, is proving quite difficult!!


Nicola Rycroft, August 2021

Lovely setting next to fields and a beautiful river. Well furnished and equipped, comfortable accommodation. Itā€™s the little things like a coffee machine, selection of pillows, fresh flowers that make it a home from home. Lovely dog friendly touches (treats, beds, dog shower). Friendly hosts. Couldnā€™t ask for more.


Lesley Currie, August 2021

Amazing location, nothing was too much trouble, fabulous accommodation, so relaxing with beautiful scenery and amenities near by.


Zuneid Bruno, November 2020

Amazing place to stay for a week or even for a long weekend, dog friendly lots for space for the dogs to run around and amazing views to the river. Perfect family get away. :)

I love how dog friendly they are.


J Jenks, October 2020

Super place and very dog friendly


Adam Holmes, October 2020

Perfect destination! Stayed in one of the new safari tents and blown away by the luxury, glamping taken to the next level and definitely worthy of 5 stars. Our 2 dogs were in heaven with a generous and secure garden to themselves, which worked brilliantly for the kids too! Dog beds available free of charge meant heaps more room in the car, and they loved the treats on arrival. For us as a family the kids adored the bunk room, and the big TV so they could snuggle in front of the fire in the evenings. Everything was so clean, cosy and we left plotting dates in the diary for a return in 2021. Han and Ingrid were so helpful and welcome - they definitely deserve the top spot :)


John Heslop, October 2020

Perfect place for a dogs holiday.


Zara Inghanson, October 2020

Unique place, never before I felt so welcome with my very large dog! They even had a super size dog bed for her and she loves the fuzz when people truly love dogs - no matter the size.


Nicolette Rippon, October 2020

Lovely, well presented lodges


Nicky Melia, October 2020

Awesome facilities, for both dog and human alike, amazing views and easy access to wonderful and varied walks.


Nichola Rose, October 2020

They are a dogs dream! Large decking area for vital squirrel patrol, situated it the heart of amazing walks - plenty oh space to chase sticks and investigate, followed by cosy snoozes in front of the fire. The pawrents loved how clean and tidy the lodges were - and the nearby dog friendly pub on the doorstep!

Brilliantly kitted out lodges for both us and the dog. Lovely personal touches like doggie treats to make the pooch feel right at home in this idyllic Yorkshire Dales setting. Surrounded by fields, woods and with the river just next door, this is a doggy heaven. Weā€™ll be returning to Riverdale Lodges !

The lodges and location look like a haven of tranquility, and we would all benefit from a break at the moment. The site also comes highly recommended by a friend and her dog.

Mike Beck, October 2020

Their knowledge and love of Large Munsterlanders only equal to the flexibility and warmth to all visitors.


Wendy Porter, October 2020

Really couldn't have asked for more ....doggie treats, crate,dog bed and towels supplied. Our pup was small enough to fit through the fencing around our safari tent so chicken wire was erected immediately to rectify the problem. Everyone had dogs on the site so little Ruby made lots of friends, as did we! Perfect location for "off lead' walks and a dog friendly pub at the end for refreshments. Would highly recommend


Lily Leatham, October 2020

Just the best!!!!!!


karen spink, October 2020

simply the best!!!!! Nothing is too much trouble and the hosts and accommodation are perfect in every way

Brilliant place. Loved it from start to finish. Couldn't have been made more welcome, just worried I won't be able to rebook if the secret gets out


John Crofts, October 2020

A paradise for dogs which puts them and the owners they take with them at the centre of what is a dog friendly environment. There is great attention to detail including dog treats, dog beds, and personalised attention from the proprieters.


Jo Matcham, October 2020

Never in the field of spoilt dogs have so many enjoyed such special treats that have been given by so few at Riverdale. (I'm sure Churchill would have agreed.)


Paul Duncan, October 2020

Superb, extremely dog friendly accommodation in a truly lovely, country side setting .


Kevin Frost, October 2020

Our dog wasn't just an afterthought. He had his own welcome treats, bed bowls etc..... it was like a home from home for him. The accommodation is amazing, the location is superb. Highly recommend this for any visitors especially if you have dogs and don't know where to go!


Rachel Sarah Stuart, October 2020

A dog couldnā€™t want a better holiday with pampering and space to run and stretch and there own treats !!


Nicholas Burgoyne, October 2020

Ingrid and Han are real dog lovers and this shows in the way the lodges are set up. Upon arrival we were greeted by a spotless and roomy lodge with a kilner style jar crammed with healthy dog treats with a big heart shaped, hand produced name tag bearing our dogs name attached. There was also a lovely chalked out welcome note wishing us all(dog included) a merry Christmas and stylish Christmas decorations placed out of harms way. There is a choice of dog beds on offer depending on what your dog likes to sleep on, these aren't taking up unwanted space as you choose the one you want, and if you change your mind Ingrid will provide an alternative(lots of choice). Food/water bowls are provided, there are also dog toys and if I remember correctly, leads are provided too. The decking on the lodges are fully enclosed with gates to prevent furry ones investigating other people's lodges and dinner lol. There is a heated dog washing/drying room that also has industrial style driers in it for towels/dog coats etc so you can clean up after going on adventures. From the lodges there are several public walks immediately from the grounds, these take you along the River Ure which is a stony Trout river with good shallows for the dogs to play in. If you take the walk in the opposite direction you have fields and woodland to walk in as well as the riverside. Locally there are dog friendly pubs and many great walks in the Yorkshire dales available that start from public car parks and take you to some beautiful places such as Hackfall(there's a hand pump water spout that fires high into the air as well as old ruins to walk around) and Mowbray castle. There is also Brimham rocks national trust site, Studley park and Fountains Abbey a short drive away too. Our dog had a great time staying at Riverdale lodges, as did we - the facilities and convenient set up there made holidaying with our dog so much more pleasant and hassle free than at other places we have stayed at. As for the human side of things, simply put the lodges are elegant, roomy and comfortable, they are well finished and have good quality appliances, a Nespresso machine and some capsules are also provided along with a welcome hamper of some good quality locally sourced basics. The owners, Ingrid and Han are a lovely genuine couple, they made us and our dog feel so welcome...when we left they gave us a leaving present which was a hard back book about the local area and the attractions, this was such a nice touch. We highly recommend Riverdale Lodges and will definitely return.


phoebe Joyce, October 2020

AMAZING loved them so so much


Frances Ridley, October 2020

This is without doubt the best holiday accommodation we've stayed in with our kids and 2 dogs. Every little detail is thought about, and we were all made to feel so special and welcome. The dogs were definitely not an after thought - they even had their own jars of dog treats with their names on when we arrived (the kids were a bit envious until they found the choc chip cookies for them!). I don't usually bother to vote in things like this, but having seen Han & Ingrid's post on Facebook, I wanted to spread the word about what a wonderful treasure of a place Riverdale is for everyone... human and canine! 5*plus!


Tamsin Brown, October 2020

Such a pretty part of the world and gorgeous walks, will definitely go back!


Lynn Mabberley, October 2020

They cater for absolutely everything for your dog including dog wash. Dogs have plenty of space around the lodge and wonderful walks.

So accepting of dogs and their owner without any additional charges


Annette Bottomley, October 2020

When establishments advertise ā€œdog friendlyā€ this typically means dogs are tolerated but you will spend your holiday invariably on edge that your 4 legged friend(s) will step out of line. This isnā€™t the case at Riverdale Lodges. Dogs (& owners!) are made to feel more than welcome so you can relax and enjoy your break. You will definitely want to return after your first visit!


Nichola Aldcroft, October 2020

Sid was a very welcome guest at the safari tent he had a luxury bed and his own jar of treats on arrival. He was able to roam free as the enclosure around the tent was dog friendly he had a great holiday!

caitriona duncan, October 2020

Outstanding hospitality from Hans and Ingrid who really care that your holiday is special. From our first enquiry right through to our last day the care and attention provided is truly wonderful. Dogs are not just accepted, they are welcomed and catered for so thoughtfully, from treats to toys, to large comfy beds. And that's just inside; outside your dogs will be more than satisfied with the open fields and river walks. Beautiful, comfortable property, situated in peaceful, calm surroundings with good local hospitality. We would love to keep this place a secret but that would not be fair to either Hans and Ingrid or to other dog lovers.


Shirley Deā€™ath, October 2020

Amazing holiday for us but even better for our dogā€™s so welcome beds and brushes treats and swimming very friendly hosts and so much space

Julie Rayment, October 2020

Truly dog friendly site. Not at all the typical 'sub standard' lodge accommodation for dog owners! Immaculately clean and furnished to a very high standard. The added extras to make you and your dog/s feel very welcome. Hosts are amazing and could not be more accommodating and helpful. Lovely walks and relaxing beautiful riverside views.

Mago Peng, October 2020

We have stayed at Riverdale Lodges several times already! Ingrid always made sure she knew how many dogs are coming therefore prepares the lodge with enough beds, bowls and yummy treats for them! There is also a dog washing station there to wash the dogs after going on many lovely walks around the lodge!


Helen Nunn, October 2020

Having visited the lodges several times with our two Yorkshire Terriers, I cannot recommend highly enough just how accommodating they are, absolutely brilliant, everything you could wish for, a definite five star experience. The managers Ingrid & Han go to extreme measures to give not only human guests but also canine guests an absolutely wonderful holiday experience, this place in my eyes is a supremely 100% worthwhile visit, and my greatest wish would be another visit to our heaven on earth holiday venue. 5***** all the way!


Jo Coulson, October 2020

Excellent accommodation for all the family including the dogs. There was even a welcome jar of dog biscuits on arrival with the dogs names on it. Lovely touch.


Rhona Ramsay, October 2020

Riverdale Lodges are fantastic - a warm welcome, stunning lodges and the most perfect location. We loved it.

We have stayed a number of times and they treat our dogs like a priority. Nothing is too much trouble. Beds, dishes, toys, blankets, treats, poo bags etc. are all supplied free of charge. Indoor warm dog shower on site with free shampoo and towels. So many things have been thought of. Itā€™s doggy heaven. We love it.

The best place weā€™ve found for dogs. A wonderful blend of top quality and dog friendly along with superb, friendly, helpful management. Itā€™s obvious the people running Riverdale Lodges love dogs. Canā€™t wait to go back!!!

Really lovely place , very relaxing place to stay even the dogs loved


Greta Roberts, October 2020

Perfect holiday for your dog ( & you!). Truly dog friendly not just somewhere which 'accepts dogs'. The lack of dog rules, the provision of toys, bed, bowl etc are just perfect. And, as for the treats jar, my dog was in heaven!


Brian Wood, October 2020

Fantastic welcoming, everything we needed for our dog was there no bulky carrying to cater for the dog, so good we are returning.

Riverdale Lodges is my dog's favourite holiday because they get treated like a guest themselves. They have freedom of the park, everything provided for their needs and a personal warm welcome from the owners. The lodges were designed with dogs in mind with a raised terrace where they can run in and out freely to enjoy the outdoors.


Christine Atkins, October 2020

Everything was well thought of for the dogs, food bowls lovely beds for them cage if needed & covers to protect the furniture & a nice little pot of treats with their names on.

Amazing place. The most high quality and dog friendly holiday ever had. Can't wait to go back.


Kelly Towler-North, October 2020

Only place we have been where dogs are welcomed and enjoyed rather than just accepted or tolerated. Everything you need on hand, they think of everything.

We've been 3 times now, its just perfect


Dennis Whittaker, October 2020

Most dog friendly place I have stayed. Every thing provided that you can imagine. Next to no restrictions on what and where your dogs can go, only bedrooms. More than willing to care for your dogs if you wish to do a trip that restricts dogs. I would recommend to any dog owner.


Lisa Gordon, October 2020

Everything has been thought of for doggy holidays, beds, bowls, toys, a bespoke doggy wash and towels you just need your dogs and their food.


Carole Ford, October 2020

Fantastic Lodges,fantastic area,dogs more than welcome loved and spoilt to highest degree nothing is a problem for humans and their fluffy family just 5 star all round such a special place couldnt do enough for us and our poorly dog. My favourite place .


Rachael Colarossi, October 2020

Everything you and your dog could want or need is provided for. There are amazing walks on your doorstop. Ingrid and Han are super friendly and the lodges are of the highest standard and look out onto the river. Another great thing is you are not limited to the amount of dogs you take . Brilliant place to visit.


Charlotte Platts, October 2020

Because it is the best place to go for the best holiday with my best friend, I love it and so does Teal!


Kate Wood, October 2020

Exceptionally dog friendly, supply everything you need for your dog on holiday, bed, bowls, towels, etc and some delicious treats. The accommodation is spotless on arrival and everything is of a very high standard. Lovely hosts Ingrid and Hans who are very welcoming to both dogs and their pawrent(s).

We stayed at Riverdale Lodges in August and it was wonderful. So dog friendly. Can't wait to stay there again


Sandy Williams, October 2020

Our dogs loved it, and so did we. We felt so welcome and super relaxed that you don't have to worry about a thing, they really love dogs!


Han Bos, September 2020

They are sooooo dog-friendly! They know exactly what you talking about when it is about dogs! They know how important a dog can be! Never seen this before. Riverdale Lodges provide everything a dog needs, the bowls, the bedding, even the natural welcome treats. It is really refreshing and the best we have ever seen!


Holly Bourne-Arton, August 2020

Theyā€™re FABULOUS


Isabel Radford, August 2020

5* luxury service for dogs and humans! Everything you would want and more for 2 legged and 4 legged guests.
