About This Guide
Bath has embraced pet-friendly travel with open arms, and these hotels lead the pack. Whether you're traveling with a Great Dane or a Chihuahua, each property on our list has been vetted for genuine pet welcome — not just a grudging 'pets allowed' policy, but thoughtful amenities that make your companion feel as pampered as you. Our top pick, Dukes Hotel Bath, stands out for its dedicated pet concierge service and custom pet beds. No. 15 Great Pulteney offers a particularly impressive pet menu, while The Gainsborough Bath Spa provides a private garden area perfect for morning walks. When choosing a pet-friendly hotel in Bath, location matters as much as pet policy. We've prioritised properties near parks, walking trails, and pet-friendly restaurants so you and your companion can explore together without constant taxi rides back to the hotel.

Our Picks

City Centre
A charming boutique hotel in a converted Georgian mansion close to the Royal Crescent, Dukes offers individually styled rooms, a popular bar serving local ales and gins, and an excellent breakfast. A favourite among repeat Bath visitors.
Bathwick
A stunning Georgian townhouse on one of Bath's grandest boulevards, No. 15 combines period architecture with boldly contemporary interiors full of art, taxidermy, and colour. The convivial bar and locally sourced restaurant have become destinations in their own right.
City Centre
The only hotel in the world outside Iceland with access to natural thermal waters, The Gainsborough is built over the same ancient spring that fed the Roman Baths. Its underground spa complex draws directly from the source, creating a genuinely extraordinary bathing experience.
Oldfield Park
A warmly run Victorian B&B in the residential Oldfield Park area delivers exceptional value within a 20-minute walk of the city centre. Expect freshly cooked breakfasts, helpful hosts, and thoughtfully furnished rooms.
Royal Crescent
Occupying the centrepiece of Bath's iconic crescent, this Grade I listed Georgian masterpiece is the city's ultimate luxury address — all silk fabrics, four-poster beds, and a walled garden spa that feels miles from the world. The Bath Priory Restaurant holds a Michelin star.
City Centre
A well-positioned mid-range option on Great Pulteney Street, The Windsor offers comfortable Georgian-styled rooms and the kind of attentive service that larger hotels rarely manage at this price point. Steps from the Holburne Museum.
