Trivia

Cullompton is a very small service area and it's built on the site of an old station yard. It's one of two services owned by Extra but leased out to McDonalds, the other being Blackburn with Darwen.

The services have just finished being refurbished. The changes included a new toilet block with showers, more parking and improved petrol facilities. Whilst making the changes the facilities available were extremely reduced.

Survey Results

The services came last in Holiday Which? Magazine's survey in 2006, as they said it was "little more than a McDonalds next to a petrol station", and it had unflushed toilets with broken seats and broken locks. But Cullompton fought back - see BBC News.

Author: Message: Scarlet I've been to this one several times now and it is much improved, the staff are generally very friendly and for a services it is quite clean. I would also say that there has been a police car in the parking area the last few times I have been, which seems to have solved the issue of the chavs congregating there! Posted: 26 Aug 2010, 16:15 dennis Stayed there overnight parked on HGV area. Service area is good and clean but unfortunately the parking area is home to the local boy and girl racers. Tried calling the police but no answer. Email from Devon and Cornwall police said that Cullompton service area is a known location for anti social behaviour, and I paid £12 for the privelege of listening to squealing tyres and horns. Posted: 19 Dec 2008, 09:42 Anonymous The toilets (well, the male ones at least) have always reminded me of the toilets in the N64 Goldeneye 007 Game... There also used to be a Little Chef (I think it was an LC) here too. It is also on the site of the former Cullompton Railway Station (looking at the track from the northern side of the buildings, you can still see the northbound platforms!) Posted: 16 Nov 2008, 14:31 Lenzar The fact that Cullompton is only a McDonalds and a petrol is what makes it among hte best in the country, due to the lack of tasteless, overpriced food. Posted: 24 Jul 2007, 16:13 Johnny Avoid the service area, that is, not this web site. Posted: 09 Jan 2007, 19:19 Magor-Chris So now it's not even "little more than a McDonalds next to a petrol station". Just avoid this site!
