To think guests should use their own bathroom not the spare one on the landing!

[TigerPath]

3-bed house, DH and I have a bedroom with ensuite upstairs next to DS' room. There's another bathroom on the landing which I use to bath DS or if DH is in ours. Downstairs is an ensuite guestroom.

We've had loads of guests since we moved (popular seaside location) and much as I love having them I like my own space! The whole point of a downstairs ensuite guestroom is they should never need to come upstairs! Yet some of them come up to use the bathroom, which means I have to keep cleaning the bath and loo and I feel my space is being invaded.

Why can't they just use their own bathroom?? How do I tell them to use their own without seeming rude? It's a perfectly good bathroom with bath as well as shower, plenty of nice products, basket of spare toothbrushes, towels etc.

AIBU?

i suspect there may be a people with large houses v people with small houses divide here. We live in a 3 bedroom semi with one bathroom and the few guests we have have the run of the public rooms. Our bedroom is probably the only place I wouldn't expect them to go.

Yes there is a bin in the guest bathroom (small pedal bin).

If we have extra visitors during the day, I would of course direct them upstairs if they needed the loo, not to the guest bathroom (which is for the house-guests exclusive use during their stay). I don't mind a visitor nipping up to use the loo. It's house-guests who keep traipsing up and down or using the shower that bothers me, as they have their own en-suite!
