low pressure shower inconvenience

the staff was friendly and the room was clean. the breakfast included fresh, local produce, meeting my expectations.

i found a couple of things i didn't appreciate. the absence of shampoo and conditioner in the shower was inconvenient. furthermore, the shower pressure was surprisingly low, it was quite frustrating.

sherry carafe excellent breakfast cute staff low pressure small portion missing conditioner

i loved the little touches. a sherry carafe was in my room. staff were very cute. breakfast was excellent, it had great variety. the beer garden was glorious for a pint or two, though it rained a bit.

The shower pressure was quite low. there was no shampoo and conditioner in the shower. the food portions seemed small. I think, the fish and chips were not the best.

homemade biscuits friendly staff excellent breakfast low water pressure missing shampoo sarcastic comment

The rooms looked really good! i especially enjoyed the little biscuits in the room. That was a very sweet touch! the staff were super friendly and helpful. also, breakfast was excellent with lots of choices.

The shower's water pressure was not great at all. It barely trickled. i noticed there weren't any shampoo or conditioner bottles provided in the shower. also, when we asked about food timing because of diabetes, someone made a sarcastic comment.
