The Details

Nestled on the peaceful banks of the River Ure near the charming village of West Tanfield, Riverdale Lodges offers up four luxurious retreats surrounded by the breathtaking landscapes of North Yorkshire. Each lodge – Oystercatcher, Kingfisher, Curlew and Lapwing – is beautifully designed to blend comfort, style and nature, creating a private haven for families, friends or couples seeking the ultimate countryside escape.

Step inside and you’ll discover light-filled, open-plan living spaces that invite you to slow down and unwind. The fully equipped kitchens feature sleek, modern fittings and large islands perfect for preparing hearty breakfasts or evening feasts. In the living areas, plush sofas face widescreen smart TVs and elegant electric fires that cast a cosy, log-burner glow – the perfect setting for relaxed evenings in.

Each lodge sleeps six guests comfortably, with a beautifully appointed master bedroom complete with ensuite rainfall shower, and two stylish twin bedrooms sharing a spacious family bathroom with a deep bathtub and overhead shower. Crisp Egyptian cotton linens, fluffy white towels and thoughtful touches throughout add a sense of luxury and care. Step outside to your own enclosed decking, where a dining table and foldout BBQ set the scene for alfresco suppers as you take in the soothing river views. Every lodge is dog-friendly too, so your four-legged friends can join you on long walks through the surrounding countryside.

After days exploring the Dales or wandering through the local villages, don’t miss the riverside wood-fired sauna and cold plunge pool – an unforgettable wellness experience that connects you directly with the tranquil flow of nature. Heat, cool, rest and repeat as you watch the river drift by – pure bliss.

Beyond the lodges, the region bursts with beauty and heritage. Wander through the ancient ruins of Fountains Abbey and its magnificent water gardens, explore the dramatic limestone scenery of the Yorkshire Dales, or stroll the historic streets of York. For something slower, enjoy Harrogate’s elegant gardens and traditional tea rooms or take a family adventure to the otherworldly Brimham Rocks.
