The shiny new family bathroom has a shower over bath, sink and toilet and we have installed a lovely new a shower room with shower, vanity unit and toilet. Both showers provide a lovely warm, powerful shower. Although the house is set up for 6 we also have a small bunk room (with full adult sized beds) which would suit 2 extra children and is the perfect place for a travel cot as it is near to the master bedroom on the first floor.
