Reviews and Ratings
The B&B is a unique spot with quirky features like the Morgan vehicles around. The rooms have no windows, making it challenging to cool down in hot weather, and there were some issues with flooding around the toilet area. The service was exceptional, with friendly and accommodating staff offering a luxurious experience. The location, shared with a Morgan dealership and service center, adds an interesting touch with a communal area for guests. The dining experience, while offering a good variety, could be improved with more options. The facilities are well-maintained and provide a comfortable stay.
I had an amazing stay at this unique Pit Stop B&B. The rooms were wonderfully designed, spacious, and comfortable, making it a real head-turner. The service was outstanding, with the owner showing us around and ensuring our experience was second to none. The location, being close to Stansted airport, was incredibly convenient and felt like a hidden gem. The dining options, especially for gluten-free dishes, were ideal for an early flight start. The facilities were spotlessly clean and well-maintained, adding to the charm of this fantastic B&B.
The B&B is a real gem with beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean rooms. The service is exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff. The quirky location adds charm, and the dining experience is enjoyable. A delightful stay with good value for money.
