I find I have booked a tiny little barn conversion where the bedroom is on a sort of gallery (can't remember the proper word for it) with a slightly dodgy looking ladder type staircase. And the toilet is tucked away somewhere downstairs! shock

Can anyone see my problem?

Is “mezzanine” the word you’re looking for?

Yep - you may need a 'guzzunda' during the night grin

Do you mean a mezzanine floor?
I would be taking my own facilities, in the shape of a bucket or a gazunda with me.
No way would a risk a dodgy ladder in the middle of the night.

Mezzanine? Yes, I see your problem. Good luck and be careful.

You may need a head torch for nocturnal visits !!!

Yes! Some friends kindly let us stay at their flat in Hamburg while they were away. Our bed was on a mezzanine with just a ladder up to it. Not easy climbing up and down with a torch in one hand. We got up a lot earlier than usual that week....

We've just come back from a holiday stay where the bedrooms were in the basement and the toilet was on the floor above via a very rickety staircase. A beautiful place but totally impractical for those of us who need the loo in the night.

I wouldn't be able to get up again from a bucket.

A head torch is a great idea. #handsfree #handonha'penny

No nice brew late in the evening either!
