Claremont Terrace Georgian Flat, Bath

Claremont Terrace runs along the Larkhall side of Bath, high enough on the northern slope that the flat's balcony looks back across the rooftops towards the city. It is a two-bedroom apartment in a Georgian terrace, renovated recently enough that guests still comment on the new kitchen and the care taken over the interior, and it sits about twenty minutes' walk downhill from the abbey and the Roman Baths.

Dogs are welcome here, and guests travelling with one say so plainly - it is among the first things they single out, alongside the location and the welcome gifts the owner leaves out. The property's booking listing publishes no pet terms, so there is no stated fee, size limit or number of dogs to go on. Anyone bringing a dog should agree the details with the owner at the time of booking rather than assume; the flat is one of several in a shared terrace, so the practicalities are worth settling in advance.

What comes through consistently is an attentive, owner-run welcome and a flat that is genuinely well equipped rather than nominally so - proper glassware, a full set of kitchen kit, new bedding. The setting helps too. There is a bus stop directly outside for anyone who would rather not walk back up the hill, and a pub a few doors along that has not caused noise problems even at weekends.

Two things to know. The address supplied at booking has not always matched the actual location, which the owners sorted out quickly but which is worth confirming before setting off with a dog in the car. And the pillows are unusually deep, which some sleepers have found uncomfortable.

Best suited to a couple or small group visiting Bath with one well-behaved dog, who want a quiet residential base and do not mind a walk or a short bus ride into the centre.
