Efficient service, clean, cost effective and everything I needed for my short dog friendly stay.
Pros:

Handy for where I needed to be. Check in was efficient and the receptionist was really helpful. Room was clean and quiet despite proximity to the road. I had messaged ahead to ask for a ground floor room at the end of the corridor (otherwise my dogs would bark at passers by) and I got exactly what I asked for.

Cons:

It’s a shame that most of the food outlets close early, leaving only MacDonalds open.

Once we arrived stay was good
Cons:

Accommodation and staff very good. Downside was the complicated trip from North Side of Rownhams service station to the South Side was not highlighted until after it had been booked and paid for. Subsequently travel arrangements were helpful but I felt this should have been made clear before room was booked

Pros:

Location is good
Staff were helpful and friendly
Vouchers discount offer for roadchef partners

Cons:

The room is dusty and not ideal if you have children
Bathroom/tub was dirty and not suitable for children, shower was OK, but there are insects around, be cautious as we had insect bites when sleeping.
