One of the best services I've stopped at, especially for the dogs as it has a beautiful little walk around the meadows. So much choice in food and drink and beautiful home made pies /sausages rolls and bakery stuff. Lots of parking and indoor and outdoor seating. Toilets also available and clean!
After hearing so many people rave about this service station, we had to deliberately make a stop here, and we're so glad that we did! It is so beautiful - the building, the environment, the surroundings, the quality of food at the farm shop, the food counter. Highly recommend! Really loved it here.
Good place, nice shop
My favourite services to stop .The food is amazing and the farm shop is full of unique gifts and food. Has a great walk round for the dogs. Toilets clean.
A few random snaps of things for sale at this 'not a services!'
We always make a point to stop as we really enjoy their cakes. Their meat and cheese selection is amazing and I see more variety there than most supermarkets
Very nice service station with a lot of selection from snacks and drinks to fresh bread and an on site butcher. Not as large as the southbound farm shop but still offering great selection. Very friendly and helpful staffs. Totally worth to stop by
This has to be one of most interesting services ever
Built into countryside in way that hides it till your right by it.
Had farm shop and that gives it upmarket feel. But also means some interesting treats available. Definitely better than average services food. Vegan pastry that tasted as good as standard pastry. Try the chocolate swirls they were outstanding.
Had changing places disabled toilet so I'd of given it 6 stars if I could. Definitely the highest quality of accessable toilet. Hoist, changing bed, adjustable sink height it's got it all.
Very busy services so only issue was disabled parking spots had all been taken up on arrival, but then so had most of parking.
My favourite services to stop at. The food is amazing and the farm shop is full of unique gifts and food. Has a great walk round for the dogs where you can eat outside. We were lucky to see some baby ducklings on this visit.
Great experience. Generally, it seems busier than the South Bound Services, so plan ahead if you want to stop here.
Having said that, we had no trouble parking or finding a table.
As is usual with this group, there are plenty of artisan products worthy of purchasing, but being artisan products, they do come with artisan prices.
That said, the range, the choice, and the quality speak for itself.
Recommended stop over!
Stopped here a couple of times but unfortunately very rushed stops. Looks superb, has a farmshop which looks very interesting. I'll have to make a proper stop next time. Not had the pleasure of visiting the Southbound one yet.
I wish all motorway services were like this one. It unlike any other motorway services and does not look like a motorway services ! Great place to stop if you have a dog as it has a purpose made dog walking path or just want to stretch your legs / take a short break to just admire the view. it has a children's outdoor play area. it's very wheelchair friendly, there's a good farm shop with some lovely things to eat or buy as gifts and it's a place trying to be more environmentally conscious with recycling and reuse in evidence in many places. There is also a very pleasant outdoor seating area by a small lake
Great breakfast stop
I had a ‘Gloucester’ breakfast with haggis as an extra and it was generous, well cooked, warm and delivered with friendly service. The breakfast was made with quality and interesting ingredients, the mushrooms looked freshly cooked rather than canned and the bubble and squeak was a welcome addition along with exotic haggis! I was then able to sit outside with a nice view, bird song and the motorway almost inaudible.
This is how service stations should be! Fantastic local produce in the extensive shop which is also served in the restaurant. From the restaurant beautiful views out to the large pond and garden. The actual building is a work of art!
Nice to see a real alternative to the usual fast food and chains. Lovely farm shop and restaurant. Bought some bread, would have liked a better choice of plant milks on sale as they only had almond.
Very busy but a nice surprise at how big this farm shop was. Great selection... Bit on the pricey side - higher end quality so expect to pay more. Definitely worth a visit.
This is the best service station I have ever visited.
First of all, there are excellent dog walks here (for motorway services). There are grassy pathways all around the services specifically for the dog, with poo bins placed helpfully around them.
The car park is large with special parking spaces for car a vans and motor homes, which is very helpful.
The services themselves are large and clean with excellent facilities.
There is a large farmhouse inside with a wonderful selection of locally produced products.
There are also a couple of places to buy fresh warm food with seating and a child's play area.
When travelling to the bottom of the country, we always plan a stop at Gloucester services.
Refreshingly different Services, similar
to Tebay. So well set out to deliver a relaxing
experience, conducive to resting, refuelling
car and passengers, and even providing
dog walking route and picturesque
landscaping.
This is the future of Motorway Services
and makes long distance travelling so
much more pleasant.
We stopped off on our return journey home. Had a coffee and cake in a restaurant. Then, shopped for provisions. Wonderful place and plenty of choice.
Lovely services! Great farm shop and kitchen along with good toilets. It can be very busy due to its popularity but it’s worth the crowds. The sandwiches from the farm shop are really good a little pricey but it’s what you should expect from a place like this. It has a decent amount of parking and plenty of seating. Recommend stopping here is you can as it’s more than just a services!
