Sandwiched between several motorways, Stirling is quite small, with a lack of outdoor facilities and a tiny petrol station. This is down to not only the shortage of space but also just how quiet the services are. The roundabout it's off is quite complex, offering travellers no less than a mind-boggling six exits and two no-entries.

Worst designed fuel station I've ever encountered. Very expensive fuel. No wonder it was almost empty!
Incidently, reviewer who said it was ok for a toilet stop got it just right.

DO NOT PAY THE PARKING CHARGE


You dont have to pay the parking charges,just ignore the letters and you will never hear from them again,do not phone nor contact them,it it not a fine - the letter is worded to scaremonger/frighten you,the charge is not enforcable and you should not pay it,it is not a legal fine it is a civil charge and amounts to no more than robbery/fraud by the company,they state pay in 7 days and recieve a discount - just scaring people in to paying the lesser amout by fear of the larger amount

i have had 3 of them and never paid and never will and have never heard anymore about them

I too was parked for a rest from driving and did not realise what the parking impications were - did not see any signs or warning that parking is only free for 2 hours. Received a Parking Charge Notice - which does say you can appeal but by which time I will have to pay £80 and not the reduced fee of £50 - if paid straight away. All drivers beware because it is certainly not acceptable or fair when drivers require a break/rest from driving.

Me and my friends usually go up to moto service station in stirling after a long journey as we travel about but reside in stirling.
Well this night we drove up there after an exhausting trip from carlisle cos we all fancied a breakfast and coffee we know that the restaurant is oh so pricey! but we jus wanted a wee rest, bite to eat and wee chat...we chatted until 3am (having arrived ther at round 12am)and hadnt realised we were there for so long!!we were so tired so we began to leave one by one. 3 days later my friend calls me and says "we got a fine " i was like "what??!!! what for?" and she told me we got fined BECAUSE WE PARKED IN MOTO SERVICE STATION FOR OVER 2 HRS!!!! and this was at "12AM" in the BLOODY MORNING, STILL PITCH BLACK!!!!! we were all fuming! the letter states several times " you can appeal" so we did and got a letter back saying we stil gotta pay....less hassle we were suckers and paid £80 EACH yeh that is £80 EACH...so all in all we paid £360 wot a friggin waste of out money having spent £35 on food n drink!!!!

:cry: I'm fairly local, was passing, and thought I'd 'pop in' for a coffee at Costa Coffee. The service was absolutely terrible and one of the worst I've experienced (if not the worst). I must have waited at least 20 mins while the staff made coffee for their colleagues (taking it into the staff room) and had a good moan about their job, their day and other members of staff. It was if I was totally invisible. Not a smile in sight and they were definitely not interested in their customers whatsoever. Sack them all!!!

Travelling reasonably regularly to/from Edinburgh from Fort William, I can certainly recommend the place for a loo stop. But forget the rest - especially over-priced food! 8-| Frankly, aside from the loos which are really well kept and clean, I wouldn't stop.

The only Moto services I know of that still has Lights with lightshades over the tables, and some of the original Granada lightshades from their 80s decor days still live in the extension!

Have you tried calling 01786 813614?

Travelling to Skye on holiday we stopped off at Stirling services for a bite. We know MOTO not to be the cheapest services but I was infuriated at the inflated prices. 1 slice of toast and 1 barely cooked sausage £4.99. There must be some type of check kept on extorbitant prices like this, and it was correct, I queried it. it was called a sausage sandwich. I have looked everywhere for a contact number or address for the management but I can't find one. Is this Highway Robbery? Even Robin Hood showed his face sometimes.
