"The toilets are always clean, and it has a lovely outdoor seating courtyard."
"For a motorway services Lymm was actually quite nice. Open plan central atrium added a pleasant feature."

"24-hour service area a very welcome break on a long journey McDonald's on site 24-hours WHSmith 24-hours toilets and showers again 24-hours."
"The service area was clean and the outdoor seating area looked lovely."
"The main moto shop is expensive but only on par with the rest of the motorway services. Has a hair dressers, Greg's, bar and the usual facilities. I recommend it."
Cons:
"The toilets were disgusting, no dryers so we had to use paper towels but they ran out so I had to dry my hands in the sunshine :( need more paper towels in the toilets."
"The facilities were tired and I actually felt unsafe."
"While the usual cafes and shops were fine the quality of the road surfaces throughout the car parks leave so much to be desired."
"Toilets where things get poked through holes. Men hanging around in toilets trying to spy on you having a shower."
"Toilets are dirty and very badly looked after."
"The disabled toilet facilities were terrible. They were dirty and there was no toilet seat at all."
"Showers are very dated with small cubicles and very little places to hang clothes."
Parking
Pros:
"24-hour fuel station plus electric car charging. Parking for heavy goods vehicles and vehicle wash. an excellent all-round service station."
"Huge site with easy access and lots of parking."
"Well situated near M6 and M56. A very large truckstop which caters for all."
"Great break stop! Plenty of parking with electric car plug ins."
"There's free (for a couple of hours) ample parking for all vehicle types and sizes."
"Car park is pretty big with charging points should you need them."
"Very nice big truck parking with plenty of space for any types of trucks and all the loads as well."
Cons:
"Would have give more than 1 star if I hadn't just received a ticket for parking 30 mins over the 2 free hours... I will never ever be using this services again... Disgusting that you think you can charge people £100 for 30 mins which was an honest mistake to make..."
"Can't believe they have the gaul to charge £17 to park in a urine soaked dump, they expect you to pay extra for a shower that will almost certainly give you some kind of bacterial infection."
"Parking restriction for 2 hours. Then you have to pay."
"The Car Park is badly set out and signed posted, with running fridges and trailer swaps taking place everywhere."
"Parking is restricted. Be aware that you will get a fine through the post if you stay more than 2 hours, without paying an extortionate parking fee."
"£17 to park for the night with NO food voucher or shower included."
"Great little services, stop here frequently, unfortunately once I stopped here for just over two hours by a few minutes and that few minutes cost me hundred quid in a fine. Be warned do not park here for more than two hours. They will nail you."
Food and Shops
Pros:
"Mainly go here for the Costa TBH. But there's also a McDonald's and WHSmith amongst other things."
"It is refreshing to have a McDonalds on the services rather than the usual BK or KFC."
"Nice cup of tea served at Starbucks on a welcome break, friendly staff at WHSmith too. Under a lot of pressure but coped very well :)"
"Top place for truckers. Can't see why people moan about prices. I found them all reasonable portions."
"The food is brilliant and the bar staff are really nice."
"Usual overpriced shops but there's a McDonald's so you can get a reasonably priced coffee and snack."
"Good choice of places to eat, and a place you could eat outside, which is handy if you have a dog with you."
Cons:
"Still ridiculously overpriced for a captive audience of truck drivers... management must think that we all have bosses who will pay any ridiculously high receipt for food or parking that we hand in..."
"Truly awful food. Not one vegetable or a salad on the menu for truck drivers."
"Has to be the most expensive service station I have been to in the UK. The fast food wasn't even warm."
"This place charges the most expensive meals ever, the steak and kidney pie and chips was disgusting, truck drivers get a raw deal."
"The food is poor. There is a menu but they never have more than half of it, and then food itself."
"Bit overpriced with no food voucher included saving grace is cheap food with McDonald's and greggs on site, the restaurant isn't cheap and there is reports of curtains slashed and load pilfering."
"You pay £22.50 for HGV parking which included a £10 meal voucher (not bad compared to some other services on the M6) BUT what they fail to tell you once they've taken your money is that your meal voucher cannot be used at McDonald's on site."

"The staff are always helpful and pleasant."
"Fully recommend for all professional and every day drivers alike. 👍"

"Ideal place to stop off while travelling into North Wales while towing caravan. Easy to park in line with lorries while there and exit back onto the M56 easily."
"Great place for something to eat. A good accessories shop and store for a quick bite etc. Well worth the visit with easy access to all motorways."

Cons:
"Don’t like it here when using curtainsider because of people with knives."
"1 star lost as last time I was with my young son a fight broke out between two men outside the toilets."
"The security is extremely poor as they are only there to look after the building and have no interest in your wagon or its load."
"Toilets where things get poked through holes. Men hanging around in toilets trying to spy on you having a shower."
"Very poor for disabled visitors. Only 4 very poorly labelled disabled bays that need repainting and signs showing you where they are upon our arrival all 4 bays were full and only 1 car had a blue badge."
"Many drivers complaining about curtains cut and diesel stolen. Avoid if you can as not good."
"Smell of urine outside in truck parking area is horrendous and rats running everywhere."
