    “Shower head is a big average, didn’t like how it sprayed water all over the bathroom and we both did slip once which wasn’t very cool!”

    As a female was a bit hard to have a shower without getting my hair wet, maybe offer some shower caps? The jets on the bath were a bit gross also but other than that loved everything else. It’s such a cute wee place and will definitely recommend.
