Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Good bed clean linen great shower nice bathroom all l needed.
Breakfast was taken at 'The Good Breakfast'. A complete waste of money. There was NO choice- full English with tea or coffee or literally nothing. The food was dried out & lukewarm. No bread, toast or fried bread unless paid for separately. Guests queue at the shop counter along with passing buyers. The seating area was grubby with dirty dishes strewn around. Disgusting. The twin room, pre-booked was accessible so spacious & clean although the bath panel was shabby. Beds were comfortable enough. Tea & coffee making facilities were fine but little or no useful information in the room. Also it was on the ground floor presumably for ease of access but overlooked the car park so visitors were smoking at tables directly outside & it was too noisy at times to open the window, hence the room became stuffy. A fan was supplied to blow the air around. Some staff were polite & friendly, but not all. The Welcome Break toilets are temporarily sited in the car park making vehicular access in & out awkward.
This was a nice place to stay and all the eating places are a short walk away , you do not even have to go outside to reach , Starbucks , Waitrose , Burger King and more . Very convenient
Room poor, had cobwebs on inside of windows, shower taps very stiff to use, had to pay for parking which is stupid for a motorway service station.

Staff was not good bcoz when I was resting one of your staff keep coming and knocking my door for just car park pay when I check out of course I’m gona pay for car park i was not gona run away . Bad experience I won’t book again and tell friend as well not to book in day innn thank you 👎
Toilet door wouldnt close completely or lock. Bathroom fan didn't work. Window wouldnt open so the whole room was humid. Tiny for a family room. We were charged £5 extra for parking as didn't book directly but this was not made clear at time of booking.
