Pet Friendly Summer Adventures and Cooling Tips for Dogs at Kiplin Lodge Park


Dogs love summer too.


But hot weather brings challenges for our furry friends.


At Kiplin Lodge Park, we believe holidays should include everyone – including four-legged family members.


Our pet-friendly lodges welcome dogs year-round, but summer requires special consideration for their comfort and safety. The extended daylight hours mean more adventure time, but also more heat to manage.


Yorkshire offers perfect dog-friendly adventures. The nearby River Swale provides safe paddling spots where dogs can cool off. Early mornings and late evenings – abundant during June's long days – offer cooler walking temperatures.


Here are our top tips for keeping dogs comfortable during summer stays:


Morning Adventures Take advantage of cool, dewy mornings for longer walks. The Yorkshire Dales are magical at dawn, and your dog will appreciate the comfortable temperatures.


Shaded Rest Spots Our lodges feature Private decking where dogs can rest in the shade while still enjoying outdoor air.


Cooling Mats Consider bringing a cooling mat for your dog – these provide welcome relief during warmer afternoons.


Evening Explorations With daylight lasting until nearly 10pm in June, evening walks become a special treat. The golden hour light creates stunning scenery while temperatures drop to dog-friendly levels.


Water Adventures Many dogs love swimming. We can direct you to safe, dog-friendly water spots nearby.

Planning a summer getaway with your four-legged friend?


Book one of our pet-friendly lodges today and give everyone in your family – including those with paws – a holiday to remember.
