South West Bath
DoubleTree by Hilton Bath
Independent pet-friendly review by Four Legged Guests · updated July 2026 · paw rating built from 1 verified guest review mentioning pets
Bring your dog if
- You're happy with a standard hotel-room stay where the property explicitly welcomes dogs
- You're basing yourself in Bath / the South West and want a pet-friendly anchor for day trips
Worth knowing
- Paw rating sits on a single confirmed pet review - expect movement as more data arrives
- Pet fee: £35 per pet (max 2 pets) - research-verified; confirm at booking
- Shared corridors and common areas mean nervous or vocal dogs may find it harder to settle
How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 1 pet-mention guest review sourced from major booking platforms - guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.
- Not a personal visit. We don't stay at every hotel we cover - we summarise patterns from real guest reviews, paraphrased and never quoted verbatim. Full standard on our editorial policy page.
- Wider context: The property has 6,688 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 8.4/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: July 2026. Policies and pricing drift; we re-check on a rolling basis. Confirm specifics with the property at the moment you book.
- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.

Pet-friendly summary
The DoubleTree by Hilton Bath sits right on Walcot Street in the heart of the city, a four-star base within easy walking distance of the Roman Baths, the abbey and Bath's independent shops and restaurants. It is a polished, full-service city hotel, and for travellers who want to bring a dog into the centre of a busy heritage city it is a genuinely practical choice.
The hotel welcomes dogs and sets out its terms clearly. A pet fee of GBP 35 per stay applies, up to two dogs are allowed per room, and the hotel provides a dog bowl and bed so you can travel a little lighter. Rooms for guests with dogs are limited, so it is worth flagging your dog when you book and giving the hotel advance notice. Assistance animals are accepted.
Guests travelling with pets describe a comfortable, well-run stay with helpful staff and a handy central setting, and note that it is an easy place to base yourself with family and a dog. There is a supermarket next door and plenty of green space along the River Avon and nearby streets for short walks between sightseeing.
A couple of honest caveats: our pet score here rests on a small number of guest reports mentioning dogs, so treat it as an early signal rather than a large sample, and confirm the current pet fee and any room-size limits directly, since a lower cleaning-fee figure is quoted in some places. Basement parking has a 1.9 metre height limit, useful to know if you are arriving by car.
Overall, the DoubleTree by Hilton Bath suits dog owners who want a smart, central city hotel with a clear pet policy and on-site amenities, rather than a rural bolthole with its own grounds.
