This luxury 4-star hotel is located just 1 mile from Brentwood Train Station, junction 28 of the M25 motorway, junction 11 of the A12, and Brentwood's central High Street.

I love the friendly staff. I also like the garden area with the rooms situated around it. Although a bit old fashioned I love the original features and also how everything is kept so clean.

The PitStop, a property with a shared lounge, is situated in Bishops Stortford, 10 km from Stansted Mountfitchet Station, 23 km from Audley End House, as well as 26 km from Chelmsford Train Station.

Excellent location. Particularly people who love cars must visit this place. Super comfortable rooms and beds were very comfortable and also the bathroom. Everything was very tastefully done with utmost care on every aspect. Very nice hosts, both of them were very kind and made our stay a memorable one. Thanks to them. Shall visit again soon.

    Fantastic breakfast, Caroline was absolutely lovely and very accommodating. Lovely old building with many period features - however some things could do with modernisation, not sure how limited the landlord is with this due to being a listed building.

    Loved the privacy of the rooms, all well thought out. My one gripe is when hotels do not have mirrors in front of dressing tables. This was obviously designed by a woman as not only did it have a large well lit mirror but plug points with easy access!! Well done! Bathroom was really spacious. We had a lovely stay and will definitely stay again.

    It’s a lovely building. We used disabled parking and noticed there was a designated entrance for disabled guests, if required. We were offered help with our luggage. All the staff were lovely and helpful. The breakfast was amazing. Loads of choice. Best we have seen in a long time. (Would suggest a napkin is provided to hold fresh uncut bread for slicing)

    The quality of the items were so high it was clear that the hotel owners have put an incredible amount of effort in providing a top range bed and amazing mattress - clearly very expensive, designer furnititure, curtains and decor - all in all very impressive - certainly not run of the mill. Breakfast were also very friendly.
