Cork is a good option (no one wants to know!)
When I bought my place the bathroom had carpet in it. (Yeah, WTF?)
After the cistern leaked I ripped it out only to find cork tiles underneath. They are perfect for a bathroom surely?
Waterproof and warm underfoot, not slippy and easy to clean. Cheap and easy to DIY as well.

I quite like the expensive vinyl tile systems that have grout lines too, some of the wood effect ones are very nice. Amtico are a bit different in composition but very durable. Apparently Dalsouple rubber tiles are difficult to get at the moment, at least last time I looked the flat coloured ones weren't available. Cork is a good option (no one wants to know!). I fitted some woven vinyl flooring in a bathroom recently, it's very nice. For tenancies I like standard vinyl flooring sealed at the edges, it cuts down on a lot of maintenance and it's easy to clean at the end of a tenancy. Or cheap enough to rip out and re-lay.
I just don't need the work so badly that I'd risk tiling a wooden victorian floor, I did a few 20 years ago. One of the common problems in bathrooms is the grout cracking even if the tiles don't.
