We would advise the top bunk to the right as you enter the room is not suitable for children as there is no bed guard and what looks like a fourth bed in this room is only 4ft long and again not suitable for adults or small children to sleep in and has no bed guard. A cot can be provided on request. There is a bathroom with a shower over the bath and WC on this floor.
