How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 3 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.
- 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 124 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 8.6/10 - 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
Home in Longwell Green is a whole house on a quiet residential street on the eastern edge of Bristol, and much of its appeal for dog owners is in what it lacks: no shared corridors, no other guests, no lobby to negotiate on the way in. You arrive, the door closes, and the dog has the run of the place.
Dog owners describe it as safe and easy for a dog, and the location earns its keep. There are plenty of walks within reach, the street itself is quiet, and both Bristol and Bath are a straightforward drive - which makes this a practical base for a couple of days of city sightseeing without leaving a dog shut in a hotel room. The house is clean, well furnished and properly equipped, with a kitchen that covers a full self-catering stay.
Where it falls short of what the photographs imply is outside. The garden is really a courtyard - hard-surfaced and small, rather than the enclosed lawn a dog owner might be picturing - so the walks are the plan here, not the back door. Guests have also mentioned that a neighbouring property keeps a dog that barks for long stretches into the evening. It has nothing to do with the house itself, but it is the sort of thing that can unsettle a reactive dog, and it is fair to know before booking.
The other recurring niggle is plumbing: the shower is slow to reach temperature and prone to swinging between cold and hot, and the boiler is audible. For a dog owner who wants a quiet, private house within easy reach of Bristol and Bath, and who plans to be out walking rather than sitting in the garden, it is a solid 4.5/5.
