Cairn Lodge Services in Glasgow City

Lunch stop, very nice, very civilised for motorway services.

Large carpark. Excellent breakfasts, vegan and meaty. Clean toilets. Well stocked, if expensive, "farm shop". Limited dog walking.

Gran lugar. En todas partes estaba impecable. Llamé para café y sándwiches. El personal era muy amable. Hay una tienda de granja y restaurante que no visitamos, pero se veía bien! Se admiten perros en la sección principal del pasillo con algunas mesas y zona de estar. También hay un montón de asientos en el exterior y un montón de áreas de césped para ejercitar al perro. Sí, un poco más caro que otros lugares, pero lo que teníamos era buena calidad.

Great stop off, good evening charging, food and scenery.

Fab facilities for an overnight, Great location, great showers, food on offer trumps all other services.

Esperaba un desayuno muy bueno, pero estaba muy decepcionado. Frijoles acuosos, un raspador de tocino, hongos que habían pasado por una licuadora, horrible pudín negro. Pagué £ 30 por 2 desayunos, mi marido dejó la mayoría de los suyos que es inaudito. No volverá. Muy decepcionante considerando el bombo.

Great service station. Clean loos, nice area to walk the dog, free showers. Farm shop and decent coffee. A million times better than the usual service station experience! Thanks!

I have visited many times and have been really loyal to this place by always purchasing Scottish products on my journey south. I visited last night to find the kitchen closed at around 8 in the evening. I had been up since 4 am and spent a day (6hrs to Aberfoyle- gravel cycling- for around 5 hrs and then heading home). I needed sustenance. I decided on a couple of pork pies from the deli. I stood for an age there and the member of staff Lewis did not attend. I went to pay for some oatcakes and asked for a couple of pork pies. He was very surly in manner -couldn’t be bothered with me- He drew what I assumed were a couple of pork pies from the warmer cabinet. When I sat outside and opened the boxes to eat, he had given me two ham pies!!! I was too tired to complain at the time and if I had had more energy then this would not have allowed this to happen. I don’t normally complain, but I take umbrage with his attitude, I don’t think that I will return in future. Andrew

Lovely farmfood brand service area. Great food and variety.

Expensive to eat,, £6.25 for a small sausage roll from the farm shop tasty but not again at that price. Overnight parking plenty of space, but a bit noisy between two roads, but for 10 quid for a motorhome, reasonable.

Really nice services but not a great choice for those of us who need to eat gluten free food.

Viajo mucho arriba y abajo por la M 6 así que suelo parar en Tebay que es parte del mismo grupo. Sé que puedo conseguir una comida sin gluten así que me detuve en Cairn Lodge cuando viajaba por la M 74. Aunque me encanta el Farmshop creo que el restaurante no es tan bueno como era. Nunca cambian el menú y las porciones se han vuelto mucho más pequeñas. La comida era buena, pero no lo suficiente!

Easy parking. Plentiful during the week. Clean facilities and a great farmshop and cafe.

Hygiene issues, lots of staff but just stood around chatting. Place seemed very dirty wherever I looked, bins overflowing outside, plates not cleared, toilets not cleaned, soaps empty, floors filthy, carpark rubbish blowing around as bins not emptied. Tebay management need to take a visit quick before it slips down the rankings.

Really stands out compared to the normal services that you see while traveling. Very picturesque, excellent items to choose from.

Decent services for fresh food and coffee etc albiet the trade off is its a few mins off the motorway

Nice place for a short stop. Certainly well staffed. Great food and coffee but is expensive … £17 for a meal and coffee (the latter over £4 alone) is a bit rich. Some of the chairs looked like they could do with a recovering or replacement.

Well stocked but a bit pricey. Like there choice of goods

Great produce at the farm shop & plenty of parking for motorhomes. Really attentive staff, greeted with a lovely "hello" and smile.

Massively expensive for services with the standard facilities.

Really nice services. Good food, spacious, clean and tidy.

Por lo general como parar en Cairn Lodge para tomar una taza de té. Sin embargo, en el viaje más reciente a las 3 . 15 pm , el café no estaba ocupado pero al menos 7 mesas no estaban limpias. Los platos habían sido retirados, pero las mesas no habían sido limpiadas con migas y bolsitas de salsa.

Nice services with nice toilets

Lovely like cafe & farm shop great pit stop on the way up worth a stop

Busy but good farm shop and food, nice stock friendly staff

Unfortunately, it is not at the same high standard as Tebay. The service was a bit patchy, and the toilets were a mess.

Good toilet stop and decent albeit expensive food and petrol.

Fuel is far too expensive, no need for the price increase on what is already an expensive item,otherwise very good fresh food especially good.

Great dog friendly service stop and delicious food

Much better than before farm shop and kitchen took over. Probably now the best services on the M74- was previously one of the worst.

Something has gone wrong here, probably poor management. Toilets are a disgrace ...... other bad signs are inattentive staff. This does not fit with the brand or the prices.

Very expensive but good variety

Staff * Coffee is tasty, best on motorway I think, leading from Middlesbrough to Glasgow. Have a good selection of meat in pastry type food, I do eat occasionally bit not part of my daily diet, sausage roll is the top dog, and a lamb and mint pie is it... Chicken and leek. I like the availability of the shower, steaming hot, powerful, 0 charge, what more do you want from this service. Obviously for that reason, ud always buy something from the shop, garage just to contribute. The staff are some of best staff team iv seen and met on motorway. The very hearty people for the role, who make the service what it is, the owner should reward these people for they're constant engagement and customer service, it's not easy role making effort to strangers, coming and going, been friendly, making it feel like that place by your home, for me, best service station iv been too, continuous, over last few years. Not basing answer just on coffee, food, facilities, but staff, all as one, for those who travel and not stopped yet, they're missing out but, don't know it yet, I remember the first time I thought I'd give it a shot, iv re visited over 50 occasions since *2020, 2021. 4 years - I love blue milk in glass in fridge, was sold out yesterday so cudnt get it, got the Americano coffee from a lady singing, is this the way to amarillo ☕🙂 Anyways, stay charged up, look after staff, buisness will thrive, stay thrive, people like to feel connected, comfort, on tiring journeys for, what ever they're reason of travel. My travel reason is emotional, that little bit of hospitality from staff goes along way and is truley appreciated, you don't get paid to do tht, comes from the heart.

The only garage iv been refused to use the car pumps with Keyfuels but alloud to use the Hgv pumps that don’t fit in the fuel filler 🤯 what a joke

Service isn’t that bad but for kids they don’t let you get singled they don’t care if kids just want sweet potato chips or normal chips they make you get something with it and don’t get me started on the taste it is okay but could be better and it’s really expensive ,just for a portion of sweet potatoes and chic peas it’s £11 and isn’t even that worth it , but the place is pretty nice

Great stop off, lovely food. Definitely would go back.

One of the best service stations I've been to Beautiful toilets with large shower for free use. Hot, strong coffee and great shopping. Oh also a wonderful view of the wall gate at the side of the cafe. Brilliant 👏

Lovely little service station. Always relatively quiet when we have been. EV charging round the back.

Great service station Arrived quite late and pies were reduced in price 👍😋

One of the Westmorland chain, much nicer than your average services. Decor is modern clean and calming, great for tired drivers. Food is excellent quality and staff are great.

Clean, friendly, a little bit pricey though

Filthy toilets and over flowing litter bins.

Lovely service station, run by tbe same company as Tebay

Travelling from near Liverpool to Glasgow, we decided on a bathroom break here. The washrooms were clean, and plenty of toilet stalls avaliable. The farm shop was fantastic... Plenty of various, local produce and gifts. They also sold "Stinking Bishop" cheese!! Lovely staff.

One of our favourite Farmshop services to stop by whenever we go to Scotland! Pricey but you paying for the quality.

Had a pitstop here. Got a bottle of fancy chocolate milk half price in the shop - delicious. Pleased to find free water with ice and slices of lemon, and nice glasses to drink it out of.

Good Spacious We can shop some fresh veggies eggs from farm

Not so great for campervans and motorhomes now. Squeezed out of the area they had to put in EV chargers.

Smaller than expected, i was thinking that it would be similar size to Tebay Services

Great place clean and good quality food

This is a lovely services stop now. It has been redeveloped by the westmoorland group and has fine quality restraunt, deli and gift shop on site. Very clean toilets and a large well equipped fuel station nearby.

Excellent breakfast - much better than the average motorway services.

We always stop here. One of the better ones to stop at. Clean friendly and good value

More relaxed than standard motorway services, and nice to be able to sit down and have a meal rather than just fast food.

Loved how it is all farm food. Toilet were clean

Another example of how motorway services should be - actually a pleasant place.

Typical cairn lodge service station clean toilets, good food. Farm shop produce etc availsble usual pricy homemade jams etc.

Lovely coffee and good service, but sadly the cheese and onion pie was a bit disappointing for a fiver! Inside was empty

Great food and a nice place to stop to rest.

Nice restaurant, pity caravan parking area is so small

Was really nice food,fresh and hot and the whole place was excellent

Stopped at this service station expecting the usual sad sandwiches and questionable coffee instead, I found a farm shop, not one of those chain places, and you can taste the difference. Fresh pies, local produce, and sausage rolls that are really good. Clean toilets and free showers which is a massive plus for us truck deivers and snacks for the days to make that trip a little less labourious. I stop here frequently on my trips to Scotland it’s now less of a pit stop and more of a pilgrimage. It’s on the expensive side, but honestly, I’d rather pay a bit more for a steak pie that doesn’t taste like disappointment.

Perfect stop on our way to Glasgow! Really friendly staff, excellent food quality. Not the cheapest but comparable to any other services, just better!

Very very pricey. But overall, very lovely. Really friend staff. Exceptionally clean. Ample parking.

Personal encantador en cafetería y tienda. Tristemente los hongos más insípidos en las tostadas. Parada en Tebay de vez en cuando, personal agradable y educado, tristemente los ingredientes más secos, insípidos y baratos pastel de llovizna de limón que he tenido la desgracia de encontrar. La segunda taza de té que he tenido que soportar hoy en una taza de vidrio también, realmente no es bueno. Todo se ve encantador, pero las miradas realmente pueden engañar.

Very pricey ...but food amazing

The EV CHARGERS WORK HERE! Unlike the ones down the road at Abington. You’ve got to love these guys. They’ve totally raised the standards of motorway service stations. The coffee loyalty scheme is a nice touch (and makes up for sausage rolls that swallow most of a fiver). Although on a meat for meat comparison, they’re probably cheaper than Greggs. The nice thing about Cairn Lodge is that you don’t have to queue for hours (like you do at Tebay).

The food in the restaurant is quite pricy and unimpressive. They have great-looking foccacia which they serve stone cold. You can use a microwave to heat it up which is far from great so -1 star for that. The farm shop is very expensive, as you can expect from a services farm shop. The range of products is pretty good.

Great food at the petrol garage deli and staff

Adequate. Located on the road which runs parallel to the M74/A74M between two junctions. Blessed with an adequate range of slightly-overpriced products in the restaurant and shop.

It was great to drink it with natural milk and coffee.

Excellent services!, how often do you hear that? Teamed with Tebay, a beautiful farm shop as well....

Very impressive for a motorway service station! The food is of high quality and not overly expensive. There's a great play area for children and clean toilet facilities. The staff are friendly. Overall this is a good find on the M74 and we will be back again I'm sure.

This is a hard one I use the shower's on a regular basis. Very clean lovely, my problem is the price of a regular latte with caramel shot £4.85 up 90p on 2weeks ago the same drink in Gregg's is £2.70 £2.15 moor for the same thing what a rip off

Great services. Pharmacy. Gift shop. Petrol. Supplies. Everything really. Really lovely staff.

like no other service station great choice of food

Good services, clean, good car park, easy to find.

It was a very nice, very elegant service. Farm products are very high quality and natural. The staff in the kitchen is also very friendly. I definitely recommend!

Not overly busy. The quality of the food was first class.

Nice clean services. Amazing farm shop style services lots of choice available. Lots of local produce. Reasonably priced.

Lovely place to stop off and have a break

Nice atmosphere and services but unfairly priced. £7 for the smallest Mac and and cheese. I complained but they said that they are only allowed to offer 2 spoonfuls. Very average too. Baked goods are nice though, and the farm shop is lovely. It’s shame it’s so overpriced for food.

Hugely overpriced food which you wouldn’t mind paying for if it was quality. £28 for three dry overly pretentious sandwiches. What’s wrong with a quality cheese and onion cob?

Probably the best services in the UK. Meals are outstanding!!! On a personal note I think it could only be better if they did mushy peas as an option and the ability to heat up the pork pies. No pie left today but the sausages were super good with the mash and veggies. Sorry for my terrible quality picture, doesn’t do it justice.

There is not enough praise I can give to Diane from Cairn Lodge who helped us when stranded at the Services. EV charging points had unexpectedly crashed and with no charges left to get us to another location, we were very much dependent on assistance from others. Whilst we tried to arrange roadside recovery (not well handled by RAC), Diane immediately contacted the suppliers and operators of the EV charging, even though not owned by Cairn Lodge themselves. To cut it short, Diane kept us calm, informed and supported throughout the hours it took to get the charging operation restored. A friendly face and reassuring presence that meant we weren’t panicked and a stressful time didn’t turn into a crisis. Diane went way over what could have been expected and stayed with us long after her planned leaving time to make sure we were able to move on. It was a pleasure to call into the services on the way back down a few days later and thank Diane in more relaxed circumstances. Our 100% go to stop on journeys to Glasgow now. Customers for life.

Excellent service and lovely friendly staff.

Excellent stop over on a long journey north . One s.all detail for the local authority the road surface needs replacing

It's run by Teebay better than any other services in UK simple, no crappy high street chains just quality food and a shop

Excellent service and food. Well maintained toilets.

Great stop for a long drive....great service... very courteous staff

Clean, presentable, quiet. Was attracted by its ownership, same company that owns Tebay services in Cumbria, a services we will not pass as excellent food offer and lovely ideology. Cairn Lodge has a long way to go to match it. Food was a meagre offering of half a dozen pies when we called in and all hideously expensive (All over a fiver each!) Ideology of "Local" food offer seems to have been lost in the translation from Cumbria to Scotland. I'm sure there are good, award winning small food businesses in the area, not all wearing stripey jumpers and masks!

Clean place, with good choice of food. So much better than just- services place . I would stop again.

Very good service station, quality food and not full of junk food outlets and gambling machines like most.

Once only visit £13 breakfast (without a tea) over cooked hard sausage bacon black pudding and the bubble and squeak was appalling Egg was perfect If they made it cheaper maybe I’d stop again

They should be serving with a balaclava on . Charge way over the top for everything a get its a service station but near double the price on everything .

Overpriced and on top of that purchased free range chicken thighs there yesterday and opened them today and from the smell it is obvious it has gone bad so it is not safe to eat it. Disappointed

Very disappointed in our lunch. Any other Westmorland services we have been in, the food has been exceptional. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of Cairn Lodge. There was very little choice, and what there was, looked like it had been sitting for a while. We should have left at this point but unfortunately, we didn't. We certainly would not recommend.

Smashing services. You get what you pay for but some of it is aimed at the tourists

I stopped here for a toilet, and then thought about getting a large hot drink, got the drink and went back to car to carry on with my journey, it was not hot at all, by the time I left it was done

Stood for 10 minutes waiting to be served hot food, staff at the kitchen hatch could see me and chose to ignore me , it took the staff member that was making coffee to ask a member of kitchen staff to serve me , I asked to speak to the manager , she apologised for what had happened and thanked me for bringing it to her attention. She then returned to a table she had been sat at with another staff member it was obvious she was conducting a staff appraisal / meeting and continued her conversation about attention to detail and how the staff member was performing or not for all the restaurant customers to hear , you could just make this up !!!! What a real disappointment , totally unprofessional not what I expected from Cairn Lodge services !
