Cons:
"Really disappointing that my sister booked a table for 17 for a family meal for my 50th birthday & when we turned up were told they had no room for us."
"We went for our first visit on Mothers Day. The main course, wow I have never had such a bad meal for years!"
"We stayed in the pod which was great the only thing to let the experience down was the woman at the bar serving the food we was made to feel unwelcome and the breakfast was very small and not as fresh."
"Had a meal here tonight as a wedding anniversary BUT would not return due to a lad who served us, he was very rude to us."
"Ordered the wholetail of scampi chips and veg...what came was straight out of the freezer."
"Appalling service today after my husband travelled from Edinburgh to take his parents out for lunch, being turned away at the door being told they had no electricity or gas!"
"Stopped over in our motorhome. Had lunch which was lovely then went back for dinner. Again we were not disappointed. Perfect portions at unbelievably low prices."
"The food was pretty good and excellent value. However, the social distancing and hygiene standards were far below what we consider to be safe."
Location and Accessibility

"Great location to see Hadrian's wall."
"Surprisingly quiet considering nearby motorway and train line."
"A very convenient stop off when traveling to and from Scotland."

"The location was great. It provided a good base half way on our trip from Bristol to North Scotland."
"Good communication from Megan before and during our stay."
Cons:
"The train track was quite close it gets noisy quiet late into the night and so the traffic on M6."
"Not having a designated washing area for camping cookery utensils etc."
"The noise. I think ear plugs should be left for guests as the trains and lorries thundering past don’t stop through the night."
"The pod was spacious enough, as expected for a pod really but the bed was awful it felt like it was a deflated air mattress and had some horrible plastic on it."
"Noise from nearby M6 motorway and train line can be annoying to someone but after a couple of days you get used to it and don't even hear it."
"The noise from the M6 and trains."
"Nice food, pleasant staff and reasonably priced. This is also a motorhome stop over place. Great for a stop if you're on your way up or back from across the border."
"The noise of the M6 or the railway will keep you awake."
