Bedrooms & Bathrooms at Batson House

Batson House has four bedrooms and four bathrooms arranged across three floors. The ten-person capacity is achieved with three king-size bedrooms and a family bunk room sleeping four, rather than five conventional double or twin bedrooms.

Group Accommodation Layout

How does the layout work for a group of 10?

Six guests have king-size bedroom accommodation, while the remaining four sleep in the bunk room. This makes the full ten-person arrangement particularly appropriate for families with children or teenagers.

The property is not designed for ten adults: occupancy is capped at eight adults even though there are ten permanent bed spaces. A group considering Batson House should therefore look at the composition of the party rather than simply the headline capacity.

Bathroom Layout

The ground floor has a family shower room. On the first floor there is a family bathroom with a shower over the bath and a separate family shower room. The lower-ground-floor king-size bedroom has its own en-suite shower room.

This gives the property four separate bathing facilities for a group of ten, with bathrooms distributed across each of the main sleeping and living levels.
