Negative Reviews
negative:
Internet quality is very poor.
Getting online at this inn is a challenge, and one that staff members seem clueless on how to remedy. Finding Wi-Fi in the guestrooms is almost impossible, and people who do get connected don't find the slow signal to be very useful.
negative:
Showers don't work properly.
En suite shower facilities at Cresswell Arms need some tweaking. Guests complain about the poor water pressure, which doesn't leave them feeling very clean after getting out of the shower.
negative:
Inn lacks atmosphere.
One thing that bothers people about this quiet inn is it seems to be lacking in atmosphere. Poor lighting in the dining area and fairly basic amenities has caused this accommodation to be slightly disappointing and not really stand out for guests.
