Typically, these often have intermittent use, there may be many weeks between visitors.

Without use water will begin to stagnate in the pipework. This will degrade the drinking water quality and allow any legionella present to multiply, particularly in the hot water system.

All taps/showers should be flushed at least weekly to minimise water quality risks.

A Drinking Water test on the cold water and Legionella testing on the hot water would be prudent to prove the effectiveness of the flushing regime.
