Acceptable Stay with Shower Issues

lovely welcomepoor pressurefruit absence
Staff provided a lovely welcome upon my arrival.
I expect better water pressure in the shower. It was very poor and made rinsing difficult. I also think more breakfast options beyond a full English breakfast are necessary. Perhaps some fruit should be available.

I was happy with the friendly staff (everyone was really trying), but the breakfast was a letdown. i expected more options other than just a full english breakfast. there was no fruit available either. the shower had very poor pressure. It was difficult to wash thoroughly, and that was a real inconvenience. the room size made it a little hard to move around.
