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 131 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.3/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: August 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
This is a three-storey house in a quiet residential pocket of Bath, let as a whole home, and the format is most of the appeal for anyone travelling with a dog. You get the place to yourselves, with no corridors, no lift and no other guests, so a dog can settle without an audience. Off-road parking is included, which in Bath is worth more than it sounds.
Pets stay at no extra charge, and that is set out on the listing rather than left to a conversation at check-in. Beyond it the property publishes no size or breed conditions, so if you are travelling with something large it is worth a quick word before booking.
The welcome is practical rather than decorative. Dog owners have found the house genuinely set up for a real stay: a set of local recommendations for dog-friendly pubs and restaurants, cooking basics in the kitchen, laundry powder to hand. The neighbourhood is a characterful, walkable part of the city with plenty of independent shops, close enough to the centre for a day out on foot but away from the busiest streets, which makes it an easier base with a dog than somewhere central.
Two things to watch. Guest feedback has reported pet hair left on the sofa from an earlier stay, enough that a guest with allergies could not sit on it, so look over the soft furnishings when you arrive. There have also been check-in wrinkles, including a postcode with a missing digit sent ahead of arrival, so take the address from the booking confirmation rather than the message thread before you set off.
It suits couples or families with a calm, house-trained dog who want their own space, easy parking and a quieter Bath neighbourhood to come back to.
