Ensuite is more bougie, but separate access is more practical.
After writing down the below I'ld go ensuite.Pros separate:
Also gives the other bedroom access with only a half flight of stairs.
I think it also is better spatially from the two plans; not walking directly into the shower when entering and the door opposite the bed is bad feng-shui I think.Pros my proposal for the ensuite:
I'ld do a pocket door that slides in where the ensuite door now is planned kinda in the middle where the bed is. Then you get a central access and you could flip the shower 90degrees and make it as wide as the bathroom with a separating wall roughly the width of the tray now planned to get a sort of "side access". I am no fan of glass shower walls with the associated wipe down after every shower.
Could still get a glass door that flips in against the wall with the pocket door but then your not in the shop window for the person possibly needing to pee whilst you shower.
Also bigger shower opens up the opportunity to invite significant others to join. And that is for me the most important argument

What are people's thoughts on the bathroom in a loft conversion being ensuite vs separate? Appreciate ensuite is far more common, but I've seen them done separately as well.
Feels more practical for my purposes to be separate, and also requires less floor/wall area for access. Space for the door seemed a little tight, hence swapping the shower tray size.
Realise it breaks the supposed rule of not having the bog opposite the door (unless there's scope for moving it), but I couldn't care less.
