Pros:

Having a kitchen and a jacuzzi in the room is a nice idea, though both come with caveats (see cons). Netflix is included.

Cons:

The jacuzzi barely works: there isn't even enough pressure for all the jets to function.
Half the freezer space is taken up by ice, leaving little room to store anything, and the door doesn't even close properly.
The view of the garden is terrible, it looks like an abandoned lot, same goes for the front of the property.
Cracks on the bathroom mirror and on the bathroom TV - doesn't seem very safe.
The TV speakers weren't connected at all; after 30 minutes of trying I still couldn't get them working.
The room wasn't properly cleaned either - there was rubbish left behind the nightstands from previous guests (petals, bottles).
Slept badly - the pillows are cheap and uncomfortable.
Overall expected more for the price. The room needs attention from housekeeping/maintenance.

Pros:

It was ok but no more than that.

Cons:

There were very few parking spaces and they did not appear to be reserved for residents. I had to pay to park elsewhere and my guest then stood in a free parking space while I went to get my car.

Wouldn’t stay again, basic facilities, no WiFi, disinterested staff and terrible breakfast
Pros:

The location of the property is the only thing worth the payment per night.

Cons:

We stayed in a ground floor annex room, that disconnects to WiFi every 10 seconds, asking you to forget the network and reconnect - so basically there is no WiFi as advertised. The room was very dark, only one small window and old. We paid for breakfast during our 3 night stay, we went on the first morning and waited 80 minutes for two eggs Benedict, after complaining about the wait (only 5 other tables present at the same time) the eggs arrived overcooked and boiled instead of runny eggs Benedict style. We ended up asking for a breakfast refund for the other two days and they gave it us, but it was just really poor. Finally, the male staff including who seemed like a manager on arrival just seemed like they didn’t want to be there, moody and unfriendly - the nicest member of staff was a female who I think is a cleaner. The place seriously needs a rethink if it’s classed as 4 star and charging that much per night for sub-par service.
