Mar 20, 2026"Very nice lay-by area. Here they have a cafe that serves all range of breakfast meals including square sausage and black pudding. Toilet facilities are very clean. Dog walking area also. Have knocked a star off because they do not serve hash browns with their breakfast items. All in all very friendly staff. Would recommend."
