Adjacent to this, the bathroom is a contemporary haven, offering a spa-like experience with a bath, overhead shower, and a walk-in shower that is wheelchair accessible, resembling a wet room.

The cycle trail "Viking Way" goes directly through Westgate-on-Sea, or if a round of golf appeals, then look no further as there is a golf course as well.
