The site got top marks in Holiday Which? Magazine's survey in 2006, it was said to have "stylish toilets" and the food was "as good as a local curry house". It didn't come first though, Tebay on the M6 did.

Always liked these services. They're conveniently about 2 hours away when travelling from north Devon, and apart from Sumemr Saturdays, are not as busy as people like to try and make out.
Great facilities. Looks like there's a bit of a minor refurb going on in early 2009 - not sure exactly what changes are being made.

The favourite hang out of the tea and pee brigade as they stop by on their coach journeys to the West Country. Always remembered it as not that bad when I last visited in the 90s.

Wednesday 11 September,2007 at 9 am visited Gordano on M5
Gents toilets smelt and were dirty (according to my husband)
Ladies toilets dirty. Bins full. No door locks on three. One very dirty toilet despite cleaner changing toilet rolls.
Door pegs missing and generally very unpleasant.
Breakfast bar staff not in right job. Very unhelpful left waiting a long time. Toast terrible and would not toast again.
