A35 Pit Stop Rooms

The rooms were clean, except a previous occupant had left dirty clothes in one of the drawers. The blind in one room could not be raised because one of the cords had broken. The bathroom door latch could not be fully retracted, so reqired a good tug to open the door. The TV was the smallest I've seen for many years. No info was sent before our stay explaining where to pick up the room key. (The cleaner in Greggs next door told us to collect it from the Londis/petrol station nearby.) A simple sign pointing to the rooms, which are tucked behind Greggs, would have helped locate them more quickly. The rooms are basic but adequate for a short stay and were surprisingly quiet even though they are right next to the A35. The bed was comfortable and enough coffee/tea provided for our 3 night stay.

The key was collected from the shop serving the petrol station which I didn’t know at the time. There is a Greggs and Subway which is very handy for food etc. also the garage station is a Londis which sells items as well. The actual rooms are located behind the building of Greggs and Subway hidden away from the main public area and road. My room was clean and the bathroom was clean and functional. Unfortunately the Roman blinds at the windows you couldn’t open and close which doesn’t allow you to have natural light although to be fair there is no view only a shed used for storage and also no one can see you in your room The bed was ok the sheets and pillows were spotlessly clean and the duvet and pillows extra soft and fluffy and the towels were the same. I would stay there again . It’s not 5 star but for the price and overnight and short stays perfect. The actual parking behind the rooms is limited if all the rooms are taken and require a car space but plenty in front of Greggs just a few steps away. I had no problem. I had booked it because it’s so convenient for River Cottage where I was going on a cookery course.

Very good. I was able to collect a key from the adjacent garage even though very late at night. Breakfast next door excellent.

Yes good parking nice pub only 100 yrds away Plenty of facilitys

Ok
