The House: Accommodation at Gilgal is shared and residents have their own bedroom and food cupboard which are lockable, but apart from this, every other facility is shared. All areas of the house are comfortably furnished and include a TV and all household appliances.
The bedrooms are prepared in advance of arrival. They have all the usual bedroom furniture as well as a hand wash basin with vanity units, colour TV and fridge.
