A35 PitStop

Arrived about 1 pm to be told that checking in is strickly 2pm ok whiled away an hour in pub up the road, highly reccomended, went back in evening for a meal.
Room  very quiet and clean with comfortable bed.
Breakfast was included in the price for room.

Me and my partner were starving and hungover and depressed about our holiday ending and having to come back to the kids.. and we happened to find this little gem. My partner's still in shock at how amazing his breakfast was.. he wanted to know what sausages they used but he said he wouldn't even bother asking because it must be a secret.. he said a breakfast that good has to have secrets! I even made a strange sound as the lovely waitress put my food infront of me because it looked so amazing... even the tea was amazing, think I finished the pot in about 2 minutes, not because there wasnt enough - it was just really good tea! The eggs were cooked perfectly, well everything was! Doubt even Gordon Ramsay could've made a nicer breakfast. Our moods definitely improved 100%, not just because of the 5 star breakfast we'd just inhaled.. but because the staff were so friendly and welcoming, the waitress even complimented me on my nails and it made me feel like less of a mess! Now we're back home and we're depressed that we don't have those breakfasts here now... might even make the 4 or 5 hour journey back there just to get another one.

Admittedly this review relates to a couple of years ago - early 2021. We are from Australia and I booked in advance as the price was reasonable and the pics of the room looked good. When we pulled in, my first impressions were Oh no, my wife is going to kill me. We are right on the main road and the noise will be deafening. The rooms are located at the rear and are surprisingly quiet; rooms are spacious and lived up to the pics. My wife is coeliac and needed GF bread. They were out but one of the waitresses said she would pick some up for us for breakfast. She was as good as her word. We also had dinner. All the food was good; the staff were pleasant; accommodation well priced and more than adequate. It would be extremely disappointing if it has gone downhill since but we have fond memories of our stay. We were touring and moved on to visit Lyme Regis totally fresh and happy the next day after topping up the car with petrol from next door. We observed no hint of racism/discrimination at that time.

Spotlessly clean, simple bedroom, with tea/coffee facilities and bathroom with bath and shower over. Towels and shampoo etc provided. Friendly and helpful staff. Good value rooms for the area. Plenty of parking, just next to a cafe, petrol station and shop which is also handy. 

We stayed here to go fossil hunting the next day.  We were totally surprised by the quality of accommodation we had a small lounge area and 2 separate bedrooms and a large bathroom.  Really nice surprise.
 
It is on the A35 but the road noise isn't too bad but it is there so don't expect silence.

The room was spotless and I was watching the turnover the following day and the cleaners spent ages in each room so had a lot of pride in their work and it showed.

We paid £85 for 3 of us including breakfast so honestly no fault could be found especially when all the B&B's in Lyme Regis were wanting over £200 for a night and had all beds squished into a small room.  The A35 Pitstop was a real winner for us.

Me and my partner always stop here on are way to Devon for a breakfast, my partner had a burger this time and as always the food was amazing best breakie! 

Staff are always really nice! And prices are good and portion sizes massive! 

We wanted to stay close to Axminster and found this place. It's a diner but it also has 6 rooms at the back. Check-in is in the cafe which closes at 5.00 so make sure you arrive before then. Reception was quick and professional. The room we stayed in was basic but had everything you need. Ensuite bathroom, tea & coffee making facilities, TV etc. The bed was comfortable enough for a short stay. Breakfast is included and is served in the cafe and it really is a good start to the day. We also had carvery on Sunday which was good. Overall I would say the service was good and the prices were good value for the area. We would stay here again if in the area. I have to mention Nicole who was always very friendly and helpful.

From the outside it resembles a service station cafe (which it is) but hidden behind the cafe are 5 rooms.  we stayed in room number 1 and it was spacious and clean with a good size bathroom and tea and coffee,  clean towels, and although you are on the side of a very busy A35 it was very quiet.  

a full breakfast is severed in the café and the staff were very friendly and the food was hot and fresh.

bad points, reception is at the café till and if they are busy serving you could have to join the cue to check in.

 

definately would stay her again when we are in the area

We stayed here for 2 nights. The rooms were spotless, the food was very good 
although we only had breakfast. The staff very helpful and friendly. Ideal to
stop if you’re passing through.Also there was private parking outside the
motel

We’d not previously stopped here although we’ve been travelling past on a number of occasions. Lovely staff, good food at reasonable prices and clean toilet facilities. What more could you want? We had lunch of toasties and both enjoyed them.

Best vegetarian breakfasts we've ever had!

Surprisingly Good

Great value, simple rooms.

A wee gem!

Stop for food on the way to devon

3 night stay

pleasantly suprised

Portacabin; bed like cardboard; location unpicturesque; breakfast service v slow for BnB guests (as done on a different till); no internet connection (data & wifi). There are far better options for almost the same price locally.

Avoid Unless Happy With Most Budget Option

Ordered burger and chips twice..
One was nice the other burger was raw in the middle.
So another burger was cooked for us..  again raw inside. Told the meat had been probed and was at 85 degrees and some meat looks like that. I don't think so
Will not be going back again. 
We would like more for a £12.99 burger
