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 11 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.6/10 - 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 apartment sits in a Georgian crescent on the western edge of central Bath, and it is set up for dogs to a degree that is rare in a city let. The practical kit is provided, so you arrive with food and a lead and not much else. No folding a dog bed into the boot, no hunting through cupboards for bowls.
Up to two dogs can stay, agreed when you book, for £25 for the stay. There is a £250 deposit on any booking with a dog, which is worth budgeting for even though it comes back, and it is the detail most likely to catch people out. The host also keeps a list of local dog walkers and sitters, which is genuinely useful if you want a few hours at an indoor attraction without the dog.
The location does most of the work. Norfolk Crescent is a few minutes from Royal Victoria Park, which gives you a large open green as the obvious first stop of the morning, and the city centre is a flat ten-minute walk in the other direction. The river is a couple of minutes away, with a towpath running out of the city, so the walking is varied without needing the car.
One thing to be ready for: the communal entrance is dated and does not do the flat justice. Guests bringing dogs have flagged it as a first-impression wobble rather than a real complaint, and Bath's period buildings are often like that behind the front door.
For a couple or a small group bringing a dog to Bath who would rather not pack the whole kennel, this is about as easy as a city stay gets.
