Experience the 1930s

Liked: The PitStop was amazing! We felt like time traveling to 1930s. The interior was full of interesting vintage things. Loved the help yourself kitchen concept. Definitely a 10 out of 10 experience.
Disliked: It was a hot day and therefore the room was quite hot.

Great place to stay!

Liked: Such a great place to stay - lots of interesting and quirky features which we really liked. The room was very comfortable and clean and the large diner for DIY breakfast was perfect for us. We were able to use the diner to eat our evening meal too which was ideal.
Disliked: There's nothing to dislike.

Quirky and friendly

Liked: Wonderful quirky place to stay with Morgan cars everywhere since it's a working garage. The bed was comfy and room spacious. There was everything you needed for a night away, including a computer and monogramed towels! The dining area was an American diner, and DIY, but there was again, everything you could possibly want/need for breakfast and snacks and it was open 24hours!
Disliked: Noise from Stansted airports flight path. But only really an issue if you want a lie in after 8am!!

Very enjoyable stay, Melvyn made...

Liked: Melvyn was super friendly and made me feel very welcome and relaxed. The facilities were excellent and super clean and yeah, I had a really nice relaxed atmosphere.
Disliked: The room was a little bit warm, but it did have a big Velux window and a ceiling fan to help cool you down and it was a very hot day so it’s not surprising.
