Bath works well with a dog when the plan centres on its Georgian streets and green spaces. Royal Victoria Park and its Botanical Gardens give you a flexible outdoor focus close to the Royal Crescent. Both listed hotels are central, but their dog-room charges differ enough that the length of your stay matters.

Choose a comfortable section of Bath’s large park, with the Royal Crescent setting as part of the outing. Keep time for pauses instead of trying to cover every corner.
Supervise your dog and follow local signs. Keep clear of enclosed play and restricted sports areas and be considerate around busy lawns.
Explore the paths and planting in the north-west corner of Royal Victoria Park as a more focused garden outing. It can be paired with the park or saved for the second morning.
Keep your dog on a lead under the park byelaws, stay on paths and protect beds and wildlife.
Settle into the confirmed room and walk out for a modest park visit if your dog is ready. Enjoy the streets en route without building the day around unverified indoor access. At Abbey Hotel, arrange the bar or lounge meal setup directly.
Day two · slow down in the gardens
Choose the Botanical Gardens for a smaller, on-lead outing through the planted paths. If you visited them on day one, enjoy another short park section instead. Leave time to return to your hotel without adding a strenuous hillside route.
