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 25 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 policy at a glance
- No pet fee - the property does not charge for dogs, though it is worth confirming when you book.
Pet-friendly summary
Lodge 4 is a self-catering house in Wick, a village on the eastern edge of Bristol with open country immediately behind it. You take the whole place, so there is no reception, no corridor and no lift to steer a dog through, and nobody on the other side of the wall - the setup that suits a dog who takes a while to settle somewhere new.
Dogs stay free here, which is rare enough to be worth stating plainly: no pet charge is published for the property. A small terrace opens straight onto a grassy field with long grass at its edges, so there is somewhere for a dog to stretch out a few steps from the door, and the lane outside is quiet rather than a through-road.
Inside it is a straightforward self-catering setup, which is most of what a dog owner actually wants: room to feed a dog, somewhere to dry a wet coat, and a kitchen guests describe as fully equipped. The owners keep out of the way, and there is a pub directly across the street - a short lead-walk for an evening meal rather than a drive.
The position is the practical argument for it. Bristol is a short run west, Bath sits to the south, and the Wye Valley is close enough that guests use the house as a walking base for several days rather than a single night's stop. Wi-fi is reliable in the main room and patchy in the bedroom, if that matters for a working break.
It earns a 4.3/5 paw rating. Best suited to owners of a settled dog who want their own front door, free pet terms and countryside a few minutes away, rather than on-site facilities - there are none of those here, just a quiet, dog-tolerant house well placed for the city and the hills.
