Our Dog Policy
A selection of our rooms are dog friendly. To book or check availability, please contact the hotel directly. A charge of £20 per dog, per stay will apply. A maximum of two dogs allowed per room. Pets are permitted in all common areas of the hotel apart from the breakfast room.
Guests are responsible for cleaning up after their dogs and ensuring they are well behaved throughout their stay. The hotel accepts no liability for dog related incidents.
We want your dog to feel right at home during your stay with us. Water bowls are provided for your convenience, however, we kindly ask that you bring your dog's own bed as nothing beats the comfort of their favourite spot to curl up in. We also request that you bring your own dog food to ensure your dog sticks to their regular diet and stays happy and healthy whilst staying with us at the New Bath Hotel and Spa.
