Riverdale Rural Holidays

You will find Riverdale Rural Holidays at the most beautiful spot right at the riverbank, in the lush foothills of the Yorkshire Dales, in the middle of unspoilt nature. We offer just 4 Grand Luxury Lodges, 4 bespoke Couple's Retreats, also right at the riverbank in a separate 5 acre wildflower meadow, and in summer months we also offer 4 luxury Safari Tents (fully equipped with 5-star facilities). In this oasis of peace and tranquillity, we can guarantee you a very special experience, with all the space and privacy you dream of, and just the sound of the river and the birds, with stunning views all around.

Yet it's only a lovely walk along the river or via our private drive (no traffic) to the dog-friendly pubs and the quaint little village of West Tanfield, and there are some lovely little market towns nearby.Great walks from the doorstep, from just a "stretch a leg" to the "real stuff" of a famous long-distance trail (The Ripon Rowel Walk), it all starts right at your lodge. With a variety of terrain all around that's freely accessible, without fences and without being limited to pre-set tracks. Just follow your nose or the sun and enjoy the breathtaking scenery of the river Ure against the backdrop of The Dales and The Moors.Dogs can be off the lead in- and outside the park, and you can consider the almost 3 acres of the enclosed landscaped grounds of the park as your 'garden' and the river as your private paddle pool, where the dogs can enjoy a good swim. And at your lodge, there is the fully enclosed and gated outdoor decking, where your toddlers or dogs can safely play.

Riverdale Rural Holidays is truly a paradise for your dog, and dog owners keep telling us it is the most dog-friendly holiday they ever experienced. Pointing out how happy their dogs are and how easy they settle in. Happy-dog vibes apparently! It's all provided too, with dog beds, toys, brushes, bowls, towels and dog throws at your disposal and even a hot-water indoor shower area with shampoo, drying lamps etcetera. And all of that without any charge for dogs. When you are spoilt with 5-star luxury, then we want to make sure your dogs are spoilt just as much. Every guest is a V.I.P. (or V.I.Dog)!

There is also plenty to see and to do within a few miles either side (e.g. Thorpe Perrow Arboretum with extraordinary gardens but also the Wallabies, meerkats and adventure trails, or Lightwater Valley Theme park with Europe's largest roller-coaster and its Birds of Prey centre). And within 25 minutes from West Tanfield, you can visit the Chocolate Factory, meet & greet the cows that bring you the famous Brymor Icecream or explore The Forbidden Corner. But foremost Riverdale Rural Holidays is a place where young and old will enjoy the adventures of the Great Outdoors of Yorkshire and The Dales.
