- Evidence: 2 pet-mention guest reviews 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.

- 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.

Pet-friendly summary
Toghill House Farm is a working farm B&B set in the countryside between Bath and Bristol, and it makes a relaxed, genuinely dog-friendly base for exploring the area. Pets are welcome here, and the standout feature for owners is the walking on the farm's own land: routes are marked out across the grounds, from short loops to half and full day options, so you can head out for a proper walk with the dog straight from the door, before or after one of the hearty breakfasts the place is known for.
Guests travelling with dogs describe a warm, easy welcome and a peaceful rural setting, with comfortable, quaint rooms in a historic building and consistently friendly, accommodating staff. It is a well-established spot with a long track record of happy visitors, rated 9.1 out of 10 across more than 600 stays, and the farm setting means there is plenty of space and greenery rather than a car park and a corridor. Bath is only about a ten-minute drive away, so you get the quiet of the countryside without giving up easy access to the city.
Worth knowing before you book: those resident dogs and cats do come out to meet arrivals, so a reactive or nervous dog may need a careful first few minutes. Some rooms are also up an extra flight of stairs, which is worth asking about if that matters for you or an older dog. Otherwise there is little to fault here for a dog owner. If you want a friendly, rural farm stay with marked walking on the doorstep and Bath within easy reach, Toghill House Farm is a comfortable, well-proven choice and earns a 4.5/5 paw rating.
