We had a lovely stay at the Pitstop lovely room and a lovely bathroom. There is a really nice kitchen diner with lots off extra things, you can access it 24/7 it has to be seen to be believed. We were welcomed by Melvin’s lovely daughter and shown to our room and we met Melvin in the morning and we were aloud to look around the cars he has in the showrooms. We recommend anyone to stay here as you will not be disappointed. Thank you to the Pitstop for our stay.

This small, AA 4-star gold-rated boutique hotel with a motoring theme has a large American-style kitchen, unique bedrooms and Morgan sports cars to hire on site. There is free parking and Stansted Airport is just a 15-minute drive away.

The huge kitchen is styled as an American diner and can be accessed 24/7. At breakfast, guests can help themselves to a full continental-style breakfast from the American-style fridge at a time that suits them. Gluten free food is available.

Room themes include Art Deco, Edwardian, contemporary and exotic Indian. Each has an en-suite bathroom, a TV, free internet access and a computer. With free WiFi, all rooms are located on the first floor and there is lift access.

The PitStop hotel is also convenient for the M11 motorway, while Bishops Stortford is just over 3 miles away. Please ensure you note the check-in times below before arrival.

An inside look at The PitStop

Superior accommodation for ladies and gentlemen with a motoring flavour. You do not need to like cars to stay at our unique small boutique hotel. Four fabulous bedrooms individually designed and styled from various periods in time. The 'help yourself breakfast' in the large American Diner is one of the many great features. As seen on Channel 4 TV "4 In A Bed" programme, which we won. Four star gold AA rated and with great reviews also on Trip Advisor - a great place to stay and relax, getting away from it all. CHECK IN :- 2.00pm to 7.00pm - later CHECK IN by prior arrangement, no problem. Regards, Melvyn, Sindy & Mariella

A door rather than a curtain between the bathroom and bedroom would have been preferable. I felt the options for cooking anything hot at breakfast were limited although there was a good selection of cereals, fruit and bread. I only found baked beans and eggs but perhaps I missed the bacon.
Loved the Art Deco bedroom and attention to detail of all the fixtures and fittings. Beautiful Art Deco bathroom. Stunning American Diner breakfast room with lots of lovely extras.
