A northbound-only service area which used to be a laughing stock, but since Moto took control it seems to have improved drastically. Southbound traffic should use RoadChef's Killington Lake.

Trivia

When this was a Mobil service area, Mobil provided both the fuel and the services. Mobil actually sold the services to BP, who lease the main site to Granada/Moto.

In 1996 Extra applied to build a southbound service area opposite the existing one, but their plans were refused as Killington Lake had already been built.

Survey Results

In 2006 the services won a five star loo award and were graded 3/5 by Holiday Which?, who liked the individuality of the products for sale.
