Bathroom in holiday let.

[Cornygirl]

We are doing up a two bed, two bath holiday let. One bathroom just has a shower. The other has a bath and no room for a separate shower. Should we put one over the bath? Or just have a really luxurious double ended bath? There is also an outdoor shower for coming in off the beach. Would you be upset if you didn't have a shower in one of the bathrooms?
Also wondering if anyone can recommend good solid traditional bathrooms - I'm currently looking at Burlington and Bayswater ranges. Anyone know of a really comfortable traditional double ended bath?! Thank you

I would as I never have baths. It would be useful to have 2 showers (one preferably electric in case the boiler breaks down if you don't have an immersion heater)

I would be really upset there wasn't a shower. I don't fancy trying to wash my long hair in the bath. I simply wouldn't book a place that didn't have a shower. An outdoor shower is not the answer - I don't fancy being out in the elements, naked and trying to rinse my hair.

I think she has one bath, one outdoor shower and a normal shower if I’m reading the OP correctly.

I think one shower one bath is fine for a 2 bed. A nice luxurious bathroom with a bath is a bonus for me when booking holiday lets.

Agree with PP no shower would be an issue but sounds like that’s not in question.

I agree that one shower, one bath is fine and wouldn't put me off.

I would suggest adding a hand held shower to the bath if you can, though... I've always found them useful for washing/rinsing hair and cleaning the bath, etc.

I’d check it against your guest expectations. If you think it will be mainly families then 1 shower 1 bath would probably be fine. If you think it will be a lot of pairs of adults staying, might be problematic to all share a single indoor shower (that is accessed through one of their rooms) for daily use.

I'd choose having a shower over the tub option. It covers both.

Shower over the bath covers all bases and is useful for cleaning in a let too.

Shower over the bath for preference.

I’d want a proper shower over the bath as I have long hair and it’s a pain to wash with a handheld unit. And water inevitably goes everywhere!

Sometimes I’d just have a bath and leave hair but wouldn’t always be convenient to do that. Those times it would be a real pain to have to go to the other bathroom.

But I do dream of a luxury bath so I’d just get the best bath possible that will work with a built in shower.

A different perspective from me as someone who can’t use baths. If sharing the shower room wasn’t an option (such as non related couples) I’d be stuck.

I have interstitial cystitis which feels like a uti every second of my life. I cannot physically immerse in water as it flares it up. I wouldn’t book to go somewhere I couldn’t shower.

We have a two bed holiday let. Only one bathroom. We opted for no bath and just a large walk in shower. It’s a positive that everyone comments on. Main groups are families with children.
We offer baby bath if any small small guests.

Yes, if two couples sharing so no access to their shower, I couldn't cope! Cannot bear a bath!

My preferred option would be two showers, no baths.
If we booked with another couple, as we do, one couple wouldn't be able to shower the whole holiday.

For a family we'd just share the shower, for couple I'd want two showers

You could add a shower over the roll top as a compromise. Use an oval shower rail and shower curtains

My preference would be a lush bath as it’s something I look for when booking a holiday place. Is the bathroom with a shower an en-suite?

I’d never go anywhere without a bath.

Thanks all, going for shower in one bathroom and bath with shower over in the other - this was really useful!
