How many toilets/bathrooms does your home have?

1 toilet here. We had been quite used to to managing it with 5 of us (when hubby was still here) and didn't appear to have any problems but with just 2 of us here most of the time now, we certainly noticed the short comings of having only 1 loo when the other two came home from uni at Easter!

I suppose it is what you get used to and don't know any different until circumstances change (although I grew up with 2 toilets in my parent's house!)

I live in a 3 bedroomed apartment which has 3.

There is a family bathroom and the two larger bedrooms have ensuites.

Overnight guests use the loo in the guest bedroom, and visitors use the family bathroom.

Only I use the loo in my ensuite. So I usually only have the one loo to clean. But I am always amazed by how messy male visitors are - and I hate the fact that they always leave the loo seat up.

I have 4 one downstairs, 2 en suites and 1 in the family bathroom. There are two of us living here.

I have a cleaner (but only bi weekly, so I do clean the loos sometimes!)

One toilet in the upstairs bathroom. As there are only two of us, it rarely causes problems. However, we are about to build a utility room onto the kitchen, and I think it would be better to incorporate a downstairs loo. Should we bother, as I bet I still end up going upstairs? If we get too old to use the stairs, I'm sure we can get a stairlift!

I would. As you get older you may find that you ned to go more often, and that going up and downstairs becomes tiring long before you reach the stairlift stage . Plus, as your friends age, you are more likely to have visitors who might struggle with stairs, so they would appreciate it, too.

We live in a 1930s house, built more to 1920s taste as we are rural.

When we moved in, we had an ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE bath in the bathroom and a beautiful green, square hand wash basin, with a separate loo beside the bathroom, and high flush loo entered from outside the house but integral within the house, which we call the garden loo.

Now, we still have a separate loo next door to the bathroom, but a smaller bath with shower attachment and a free standing quadrant shower and hand wash basin.

Couple of years ago, I had the high flush outdoor loo replaced by a low flush loo, built up a little to be higher and more comfortable for my husband, who prefers not to go upstairs to wee. This nice little thing has a small hand wash basin built in to the top of the cistern which recycles hand wash water to flush. I added a wall mounted paper towel dispenses which houses a circular terry towel and Bob's your uncle. I only use this loo when working n the garden, but of course it makes sense as I can so easily wash my hands after using fertilisers, etc.

Two, one upstairs in the bathroom and a downstairs loo. Upstairs get slightly more usage than downstairs, but it's really handy having both.

Two in a four bedroom house (3 doubles and a single/office). The upstairs bathroom has a bath and the downstairs one was extended during our renovations to make room for a shower. They are cleaned once a week.

I don't see any need for any more at the moment. I really hate houses that have four tiny bedrooms all with en-suites. There's no need. I'd much rather have four decent size rooms (or three at least) and fewer bathrooms.

3 Bed house. Two toilets, one bathroom.

One downstairs with sink (guess you'd call it a cloakroom) & one in upstairs bathroom.

We have two also in our house. More convenient to us, especially morning.

5 loos in total in the main house, one in the granny annex, as follows

3 of the 4 bedrooms have ensuites - shower, basin toilet
1 main bathroom - bath, basin, toilet
1 Downstairs cloakroom - basin toilet

1 bathroom in the granny annex - shower, basin, toilet.

Just two of us living now in the main house so getting a loo / shower isnt much of a problem. My wifes folks live in the granny annex.

Cleaner comes in 5 hrs a week and cleans them and the rest of the house.
