New En-suite and Shower!

One first priority when we acquired the lodge, in terms of bigger renovations, was a second shower.

The original en-suite bathroom, a relic from the 70s, only had a dated toilet and sink, with no heating! The sink, awkwardly positioned over the stairs, felt a little cramped and limited. It was hard to imagine where a shower could even fit.

But now…

We made some adjustments to the staircase, allowing us to install a brand new shower, along with a new sink, toilet, towel rail and mirror.

The lodge comfortably sleeps up to 8, and having a separate, fully equipped bathroom makes a world of difference, especially for groups of friends. No more waiting in line for the bathroom!

Here are some before and after photos:

Master Bedroom En-suite with Shower

One of our first priorities was to have an extra shower. When up to 8 are sharing a house, it helps with harmony if there’s more than 1 fully equipped bathroom! The problem was that there didn’t seem to be any room to fit a shower in! However, through some creative modifications to the staircase, we’re pleased to say that in Oct ’23 the en-suite was re-fitted with new washroom furniture.

Before…

No shower and very little space to stand in front of the sink, a long way away from the mirror!

After…

The shower is positioned over the staircase, making really good use of the space in the en-suite, and it actually feels bigger! In addition, there’s a new toilet, vanity unit and lighted mirror, plus a heated towel rail.
