How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 4 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 70 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.3/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: July 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
The Hideaway Apartment is one of the more genuinely dog-friendly self-catering options in Bath, and it stands out for a feature dog owners prize above almost anything else: a private, enclosed outdoor space where a dog can be let out safely. Combined with stunning walks nearby and a short hop into the centre of Bath, it ticks the boxes that matter most for a relaxed trip with a dog.
Guests travelling with dogs are consistently glowing. The enclosed garden comes up again and again as a highlight, letting dogs enjoy their own space without a lead, while owners appreciate being able to cook and settle in as if at home. More than one couple has described a cosy, homely stay where their dog was clearly as welcome as they were.
The hosts earn particular praise for the thought they put into the place. Guests mention a well-stocked welcome with biscuits, games and information booklets, along with responsive help when needed, and one couple had a heating query sorted almost immediately. That attentiveness, paired with a very clean and comfortable apartment, makes for an easy, low-stress stay.
Practicalities are handled well too. Free on-site parking is a real bonus in a city where spaces are scarce and pricey, and a nearby bus stop puts central Bath within a short, inexpensive ride. The only minor niggle mentioned is a slightly awkward reverse down the driveway, which is a small price for parking sorted on the doorstep.
Overall The Hideaway Apartment suits dog owners who want a cosy, central Bath base with a secure outdoor space, free parking and hosts who genuinely care. Couples travelling with a well-behaved dog will feel completely at home. No formal pet policy is published online, so confirm any dog charge or limits directly when you book.
