Lock in a great price for The PitStop - rated 9.7 by recent guests.

to get started.

Totally awesome ! Morgan theme and Art Deco style is fantastic ! we had the fantastic Areo room . But also great modern touches like lights around the bed floor. The American style diner space is fab for breakfasts (And had GF toast and cereal) and late night snacks and so impressive that a lot of the furniture and fittings has been handmade. A lot of love has gone into this building. Very comfortable stay. My partner didn’t want to leave !!

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

Myself and my wife stayed for 1 night in the family room, so glad we booked this fantastic place! The room was spotless, bed very comfortable and Kitchen extremely well stocked. The whole place has had no expense spared, the rooms, the kitchen/dinner and even the showroom of Morgan's below. Our stay was great and we will be booking again on our next visit to family!
