Cairn Lodge Services in Glasgow City

Good place to stop to recharge your EV and grab a bite. Nice farm shop inside.

Upgraded well since last visit.

Great service Station just off the motorway. Plenty of variety in farmshop and hot food available in the kitchen. Lots of space for work pit stop.

Expensive. And the castle was all fenced off and could t see. Food was OK

Lovely venue; we had the soup for lunch and it was delicious. Prices are good and it makes such a great change from normal motorway services.

Complete for lunch, snack or dinner. Excellent homemade food. There is room to park and eat on site. The facilities are modern and clean. Next door is a Shell service station.

Can't recommend this service area highly enough so much so that I would like to visit their other locations.

Smaller than Tebay, but less crowded. Absolutely excellent!

A bit pricey, but has a unique range of gifts etc to choose from, the food and drink are excellent

Beautifully kept. Lovely farm shop.

Owned and run by the same company that has Teebay services and while Teebay is looking tired this was a great place to stop over. Good selection of food for lunch and a very nice and relaxing eating area. Prices are high but I guess we have to expect that on motorway services. Nice farm shop on site too. Much better than stopping at a fast food place.

Great services, plenty of food and drink choices.

Well - where do you start: £15.10 for 10 cold chips, a dry steak and ale pie and cold gravy with a warm, not hot, cup of tea just left at the end of the counter while girls chatted. Tried to log onto wifi and not working "Connected without internet" :( An absolute rip off.

Food was good. Very fresh and a pleasant change from the usual motorway services. However we visited in the evening and it was in need of cleaning. Tables were dirty.

Great Food and Very good facilities

Hadn't stopped here in years, but tried it for the first time since it was renovated. An absolute pleasure of a service station. If you like Tebay, you'll appreciate this, it is now owned by the same company.

Great service staff and quality food.

Nice wee place always get the spicy beans and toast 😋

Utter rip off. Macaroni and cheese and about 5 chips and a cup of coffee for 12 quid. Terrible

This service station is usually good but today it wasn't: staff sitting on work surface used for food prep in deli (food safety officer please note) and latte served in place of cappuccino that was ordered, along with 'sorry no chocolate (but I clearly don"t give a damn).

Another set of services owned by the Westmoreland group so what's not to love? Clean, bright, friendly and plenty of choice regarding refreshments (and shopping if required)

Great place now to expanded. A quality stop-over.

This is our go to service stop on our 12 hour drive up the country. Always good service and fresh food. Then place is quiet so you can relax after hours on the road. Staff are friendly. The only negative is they don't do a pick and mix breakfast items it's set menu items only.

My husband and I stopped here on our way home from holiday, I was feeling unwell. Marion and her colleague came to the rescue, showing us where to sit with our dog and offering a cup of tea. We sat for a few minutes, Marion came over to check we were okay, she was honestly lovely. Thank you Marion x

Good grief this place has chsnged so much it was so bad when i came to scotland in 1999 i have never been back. Well now its spotless and the food offerings are on par with the very best our French and Italian service stations offer. Prices still expencive but at least its good now. Pastrys and Sandwichs worth driving to just for them.

Stopped for a sandwich! The pre-made egg mayonnaise was the worst I’ve ever had ! The filling was scraped on and scraped off ! And I paid £4 !! Disgraceful! I won’t be stopping there again !

I've been past these services very many times and never called in. I was surprised by the wow factor of these services. They are very clean, actually almost look unused. The layout is very appealing, and the goods are displayed in a health-conscious way. The food and products are claimed to be homemade and nothing suggested anything to the contrary. I had the steak and ale pie with chips and gravy, and it tasted great. Although the temperature of the pie was cooler than a fresh from the oven pie it was enjoyable.There are various displays of edibles from their "country kitchen" set up, which has too many dishes and items to even start naming. I didn't visit the "gents" but I'm sure that this area would have been as spic and span as the rest of the services. I will never passby these services again if they are open when I travel to Scotland. I can honestly say these are the cleanest,most well set out, inviting you to eat services I have ever seen.

Nice and clean but food & fuel prices are just as high as any other services so nothing special

It is a lovely place to take a break on a long journey. Beautiful Castle like Lodge at the services and a wonderful farm shop. I was a little disappointed at he offering in the kitchen as I just wanted a nice fresh sandwich, not made of foccacia as I find this is a very doughy bread. My partner had the lasagne and salad, and I had a cold pesto, pea, and courgette pasta salad. There was only one piece of courgette in the serving, and the dish itself was a bit bland. My partner said his lasagne was really good, not too much tomato sauce and not running in cheese, quite authentic. I saw later in the farm shop that there was a lovely selection of handmade rolls in the deli counter, which in hindsight I should have chosen from. My partner bought a croissant to take away, which when eaten was really tasty. The services are owned by the same family who run the Tebay services in Cumbria and displays a brief story of their journey at the services.

One of the best services in the north, food is good . The stake and haggis pie is awesome.

Best services of all between Scotch Corner and Inverness

Over priced ase the rest of these motor way services

Our favourite stop, great food, good shop. Oh, and clean toilets.

Excellent value for money. Lovely experience. Food is fresh and delicious

Not a fan of this service station..l used to like it before it altered to a Scottish kitchen type place. Expensive though quite good food and drinks. Clean toilets. They are now the only reason we stop there on frequent visits to Dumfries..

Lovely selection of food and drinks for a service station , makes a nice change from your traditional motorway service station.

Great selection of quality produce.

Always a great place to stop for a break

Great motorway services. One of the better ones. Good food.

Nice services. Stopped here for the EV chargers which where nice and easy, didn’t require an app download for a change. Nice food options and clean toilets which was much appreciated. We made a point of stopping here on the way back too

£20 nicker for a breakfast and a coffee. Bleeding £20!!! These farmers are raking it in

It's like a fancy deli rather than your regular service station fayre, bit odd tbh...

Ordered a sausage roll, coffee and a cake, and they each were easily the best I've had of each in ages, never mind at a service station.

Had the large breakfast for £14.50. Lorne sausages, bacon, haggis black pudding, mushrooms and bubble and squeak. All of which were very nice and decent portions. The shop had a lot of different things to buy, and is worth a look.

Was looking forward to breakfast here which is usually very good. Unfortunately car chargers weren't working so had to go elsewhere. Its good that they have their own generator for these but not much use when it doesn't work.

Handy stopping place. Bit dear but good quality food

Very good food . Nice farm shop

Heading south - arrived for a break and some lunch. Soup and cheese scone was good and cappuccinos were tasty. Left with a headache - screaming kids in play area and I mean screaming!!!!!! Have been round many, many kids but have never heard the likes. Fine - kids need to let off steam. Solution - move the play area. Told nice lady about noise and she said they had had to listen to it for the last 30mins.

An excellent place to stop for a break.

Decent service station that is well maintained with easy accessible parking and a range of quality produce in the shop. The restrooms are well maintained also. Good place to take a break.

So near to where I live, but if I need to stop here I'm always delighted!

Very disappointed. Over priced food, sandwiches not as fresh as they should have been and skimpy on fillings.£30 for 2 sandwiches, 2 sausage rolls and 2coffees.

In the middle of a much needed refurb but still offering the fantastic fare associated with the 'Tebay' group.

Only used the EV charger,wasn't impressed as it cut out.

If only all services were like this one, everywear was clean, freshly cooked food, pleasant staff, no annoying piped music and a farm shop with lovely products.

Lovely farm shop gorgeous staff too 😊

Made for a lovely stop off, food was very nice x Lots to choose from.. nice atmosphere too

Very nice services. Lovely shop and deli. Very little for me to eat gluten free at 7pm but grabbed some bhajis from the deli and heated them in the kids microwave. Staff helpful. Rest of the family had a nice meal. One thing to note, the tea bags are really very weak. I think you need to look at the teabags. Squeezed for ages and made no difference to the colour of the water!!

I dropped my necklace down the sink after taking a shower and two lovely people literally took the sink apart to get it back for me, life savers fr ♡

Very trendy looking place, especially for a motorway Service station but unfortunately it is style over substance. Nice Farm shop, bit pricey and the blue striped mug I bought was made in Portugal so not a genuine Scottish souvenir. Very young and inexperienced staff who couldn't even answer the most basic questions. The food in the cafe looked nice on display but was lukewarm, sausages though and peppery, mash and cabbage a bit watery and bland, not impressed.

Good farm shop. Over 100 local suppliers. I purchased some Scottish Brie! It's nice. Related to Gloucester services.

Great service station , got everything you need

Lovely food, clean toilets, nice little shop. Has a small play area for Kids to help burn off excess energy too!

COACH DRIVERS DON'T STOP HERE! Stopped with a coach load of folk only to be told toilets are not open 24hrs, absolutely ridiculous, no mention made on the motorway. Would not recommend it at all. Coach park also rammed with caravans and junk.

N8ce place but farm shop is very expensive!

Been calling 6 times a year for 5 years always buying from the deli sandwich s scotch eggs etc lovely. Today we decided to have lunch £42.90 for macaroni cheese and salad lasagne salad pie mash peas and gravy the later being edible thanks to two laddles of gravy .The other two dishes dried out and inedible the salad was poor all rocket and also dry. Will definitely be sticking to the deli in future the cafe is a rip off .

Really great services with great food and plenty of parking. There's a nice play area for small kids.

Really like this service. However, not going get ice creams again. Bought 3 and every single one had a different size. With the last one I was wondering what I have paid for 🥲

Tebay is better It's ok though

Very expensive did not use this place

Nice clean services, friendly staff 👍

Hands down best service station ive been to. Great quality food, free toilets/charging, clean and cosy aesthetic.

Midgy heaven . Didn't get out of car for fear of being eaten alive .

Outrageous pricing! Quite disgusting profiteering to be honest!

Best strawberries for our download trip every year!

Nicely decorated like a small Tebay services. Pricey food though. I actually bought in the farm shop to eat in the restaurant, girl behind the counter said it was ok. Had a nice ploughman’s bowl.

Always the first stopover on our way down to Essex. Last trip we noticed the shop had changed and there was a lot less choice....wonder why? I always wish they would cover the cakes at the entrance to the shop!!! The cafe is always good for late breakfast too

Somewhat underwhelming experience. Facilities were generally fine though the prices in the cafe were very high and the service terrible. The staff simply did not know how to make a latte which arrived watery and slopped into a glass. The food (bacon and egg roll) was served in a hard roll which was not as advertised "soft flourly baps". If people are paying high prices at such services then the service quality should match.

Very clean but prices are a little high

Overpriced - feels like they’ve written farm shop on everything to jack up prices without actually being that much better. Interior is quite nice though.

Somewhat different to the usual services. Kitchen for sit down meals and a farm shop for food. Hard therefore to get the usual ‘grab it and go’ fare. I’ll leave you to decide if that’s good or bad.

Great place for a rest when driving, a bit off the busy road with a well stocked farm shop and we had a tasty meal (cottage pie and fish & chips) with fresh ingredients. Service was very friendly.

High quality but stupidly expensive, don't forget it's meant to be services not Harrods!

Adequate car parking, good food and farm shop

The best services I’ve ever been too. Lasagne, chips and gravy was delicious and homemade! All areas clean and plenty of condiments on offer too. The lad that served us was very polite and pleasant too Will definitely come again when in this area

Plenty of parking, but you can end up quite a distance from the entrance. There is a good dog walking area which is useful when traveling with your pet. The toilets are very good with a positive addition of disposal bins in the gents for those men who have had to resort to wearing pads due to a weak bladder. It is not the biggest of services but what they offer is very good as it is part of the Tebay services group.

So busy, left before entering carpark.

Good services, not overly large so a more personal service

If only all service and rest areas could be like this. Vegan friendly. Good vibes.

Busy services but still provided quality produce. Sausage rolls are the best you will ever taste. Produce is consistent with Tebay and Gloucester services. We will choose here over other services next time we are in need.

A first class service station from the team who manage the famous Tebay services. Much better than the usual services. Quieter, more pleasant and cleaner. Cairn Lodge has the bonus of the gate lodge of Castle Douglas. Little of the castle survived but the gate lodge is in fine fettle.

Extremely busy on a hot Saturday afternoon. Bit of a trek off the motorway to actually get to it. Food is expensive even for services. Wouldn't stop there again.

Extortionate prices, keep driving to Abington ( next services )

Nice food, but very busy when we visited

Nice place with nice produce. Thought that the two girls at the cafe till were a bit off hand though.

Worst breakfast unless you like to eat hair.. and have teeth made of steel, bacon was that tuff you could mend pot holes with.. The bacon looked as though it had been ledt under the heat lamp since covid. The staff replaced one breakfast, when i asked for help the superviser said sorry and walked off..

Nice food in the shop, but very pricey. There are not enough gluten-free options, unfortunately. Very busy. Outdoor seating available. 2 out of 3 hand dryers in the toilets were out of order. No alternatives available, such as paper towels. Unacceptable.

The best service I've ever seen during my trip by EV throughout the whole of Scotland. Beautiful, modern, and clean place, with the best homemade food that is not too expensive. Rapid (CCS up to 150kW) EV chargers are available, easy to use, and accept credit card payments.

Grand stop over for a tea or a meal.

Nice farm shop services. Like all motorway services though, very expensive.k
