Survey Results

In 2006, Holiday Which? gave the services a 1/5. They described it as "dreary and cluttered", and its toilets received no marks at all. RoadChef responded to the review by saying that "it isn't the most damning of criticisms". It didn't come last though, Cullompton on the M5 did.

Author: Message: MusicMagic Gone downhill in last two years. Started going there around 2004 when it was tidied up and modernised as a replacement for Stirling on our trips to the Lake District. Last time I was in (October 2009) the toilets were not clean and the Costa not open (at 4.30pm). Very disappointing. Now Costa is at Stirling, it will become our regular haunt from now on.
