The PitStop offers accommodations in Bishops Stortford, 6 miles from Stansted Mountfitchet Station and 14 miles from Audley End House.

A fantastic stay at The Pit Stop B&B! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the wonderful hosts, who couldn’t have been more accommodating. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and had a unique charm that made our stay even more enjoyable. The real highlight, though, was the incredible car collection—an absolute treat for any car enthusiast! It’s clear that a lot of passion has gone into this place, and it truly shows. We’ll definitely be returning and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special stay.

    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.
