Moto in Exeter

Got what you need. Half decent services

Peter Dunn was very helpful in my hour of need

Just stopped in on our way to cornwall just. Like them all really

Brilliant everything you could possibly want

After reading the other reviews, avoid is place! Manager has let it go down hill. Nothing done in 3 mouths! Needs a refurbishment. Has it all, but toilets over flowing!! Hope they have fixed it by for the summer holidays!! Everyone stopps here. Cardiff, Bristol to Plymouth! A long way for uk driving. Not so long for U.S.A driving.

Not the biggest service station but is well kept and facilities are clean and tidy . Parking can be. Bit confusing

Not a bad place when traveling up country

Workers show no emotion and the place is unsanitary

Xanthe is the team leader of PRET coffee shop at MOTO EXETER M5 she has excellent service and makes everyone feels welcome at moto her and her team are the excellence at the coffee business

Mark was very helpful, I needed to buy oil for my car and didn’t know which one to get. He was very knowledgable and insightful, I directed me to the app to type in my car details, when I got stuck, unsure what size my engine was he shared his experience and came outside to my car, and was able to confirm the engine size, then explained the different oil choices I could choose. I was so blessed by his help, knowledge and kindness, he had a great way with people, nothing was too much trouble, very personable, great customer service

Excellent EV charging. A bit on the tatty side outside but sooooo convenient.

Service was quick but found a hair in the batter of the chicken

Every time I pop in here I am astounded how filthy everything is.

Super quick service and friendly staff

Usually quiet. Service has been good at all outlets. As I visit regularly to charge my EV I think I have tried all the food outlets. Pret has some interesting fresh food combinations and I really enjoyed the sweet and sour with rice from another outlet. Smiths has an unusual milkshake machine and don't forget if you want a takeaway coffee they have a Costa machine. This will be quicker and slightly cheaper than their outlet. Although you can't beat the drive through Costa for a quick getaway of coffee and cake.

Convenient place to take a break.

Not much atmosphere but food outlets, toilets etc. If you want an opportunity to get comfortable, have a coffee etc, have a nap, refuel or recharge your vehicle, plenty of charging points here.

Nice choice of places to eat tables were messy and not cleaned

Your average service station for a quick break. Toilets are fairly clean, food and coffee exactly how you'd expect in a service station.

Good place to stop, great selection of food and beverages, all the popular franchises. It's a little more expensive then on the highstreet. Plenty of parking and charging stations.

Best services at the end of the M5, includes dog walking area

Services. Has toilets and overpriced food and other stuff.

Toilets were grim. Smelt bad. Flushes were broken on multiple toilets leading to number 2s being left down the pan. Not nice.

Absolute dirty dump! Embarrassment to the UK

Great for omnivorous customers but very little food and drink provided for vegans or those with allergies to wheat, dairy or meat protein in the fast food or retail outlets. The hand driers are very noisy so much so a little child was covering their ears.

I’m in these services most days being an hgv passenger, and the toilets are always blocked and outrageously disgusting. You can’t sit down without the motion sensor flushing the toilets every time you move which is not a nice feeling. I feel sorry for the men that sleep in their lorry’s overnight and then go to use these facilities (showers/toilets/sinks). I dread to think what the showers are like. I could add photos but it’s not something you’d wanna see.

A real Ev Charging hub. Costa is ok , but Burger King queues are crazy

Arrived at 17:00 all places were taken. He stood behind the first tree.

Very good service station and lots of Tesla superchargers which is great

Very accessible EV chargers (dozens of them!) East to charge up with a coffee break and be on our way.

Wonderful place, my first time here, special thanks to Kaz for personally coming over to ask if everything was up to the expectations which indeed made my day!

£4.80 for a large lattè?! The toilets always smell, too. But where else can you stop when visiting the west from the south. Good range of takeaway foods.

Very busy clean wc good selection of food and drink

Easy to park. Lots of electric chargers. Choice if eateries. Clean toilets.

Good place to stop on journey well placed location, easy access, plenty food options Clean, tidy. Fuel obviously a rip off

Lovely pasty’s, but they were nearly out at 12:30pm! Costa was amazing and drinks were well made and tasty. Area was constantly being cleaned for new customers.

The toilets are all backed up and not flushing, the shower area is flooded, so difficult to get dry. I searched for a.member of staff to inform them, but there doesnt seem to be anyone onsite to tell. I stop out 2/3 nights p/w and this is one of the worst services I've stopped at

5pm on a Tuesday, place relatively quiet and the place is filthy, floors covered and so many tables dirty and messy. Not a cleaner in sight.

Massive place, can not use the whole of the car park if you are in a high top camper, but there is Costa

Typical motorway service station full of fast food outlets. Ample seating, but the interior is looking very tired.

Great stop off plenty of selection

Katsu Curry is lush. Carol was also helpful. Table wasn't clean on arrival and we walked in and went to the loos before sitting at it so some staff are not quite on top of things

I've been coming here for the past few weeks to charge my car given I live 10/15m down the road. Came here this morning met by a bright smile and a warm welcome from Caz, Sat down with me and the wife said how much she loves what she does and showed us the art of conversation is definitely not lost! Need a lot more person people in this day and age 10/10 🐐🚗💯

Plenty of EV chargers so thank you however the toilets were filthy. Complete lack of cleanliness from floors to toilets. Moto you should be ashamed. Visited today at 10.30 am. You need to get a manager to review this area as it needs a deep clean.

Thanks moto Exeter my Nan wanted to buy a burger and when she saw £12 for one she jumped behind the counter and two footed the chef steaming “ HAVE IT” and she is never aloud back . My Nan is now 95 and in a wheelchair pleas can she return

Exeter, a large Moto site at the end of the M5 (also serving A30 traffic). All M5 services experience rapid custom increases during the summer holiday period, however, Exeter serves more routes towards Cornwall from London & the South East, so it becomes rather chaotic during the summer. Its large building, enriched with facilities, means the site copes fairly well during busy times. Exeter was opened by Granada in 1978, & has come a long way since opening. Exeter is a single site located on junction 30 at Sowton. Exeter is an offline site, meaning customers wishing to use the facility have to leave the M5 and join the busy J30 junction. Exeter is slightly easier to get to from the Northbound side of the M5, but both directions are complex & difficult. You can sit in up to 8 sets of traffic lights to access Exeter services, making accessing the site extremely unsatisfying for motorists. Petrol at Exeter is provided by BP, and as per usual with motorway services forecourts, petrol & diesel are both rapidly inflated in price. I'd advise you to fill up off the motorway. The forecourt itself just contains a small, 24 hour shop. There is a Travelodge motel at Exeter, offering motorists an overnight stay if required. Motels are always useful. This Travelodge may not be the nicest place to stay, but it’s fairly cheap. There used to be a Bar & Grill restaurant in the lobby of Travelodge, but it has since permanently closed. There are plenty of parking spaces at Exeter for: cars, caravans, coaches and HGVs. Additionally, there many Electric Vehicle charging points available here, provided by Gridserve and Tesla Supercharger. There isn't a huge amount of greenspace surrounding Exeter services as it's built within an industrial estate, however, there is a fairly large grass bank beside the amenity building entrance, ideal for both dog walking and picnics during the summer. The amenity building itself at Exeter appears clean & welcoming for customers. The "back areas" are tidy & there's plenty of brand advertisements around. The amenity building has changed significantly since 2016, as the location of the entrance is completely different & the building is now dark grey, with Moto's new corporate branding on display. Entering the amenity building, it does feel somewhat like a maze, with long corridors taking you past all the food units & shops before reaching the toilets. Otherwise, the interior of Exeter is bright, clean & modern. Food units at Exeter include: Burger King, KFC, Greggs, Pret A Manger, West Cornwall Pasty (kiosk outside), Krispy Kreme donuts (kiosk outside), Costa lounge, Costa takeaway and Chow Asian kitchen. I visited Chow, where I got a Chicken Katsu curry for £8.50. Quite pricy, but no complaints on the food. Plenty of food to choose from here. I like the wide array of choice and different kinds of cuisine on offer. There is plenty of shared customer seating at Exeter & a large amenity building, meaning it can cater for larger crowds. Fortunately, my visit was during the night and the place was nice and quiet! Shops at Exeter include an M&S Simply Food (with M&S Coffee to go) and a WHSmith (supplying Costa Express, F'real milkshakes and Tango Ice Blast). Both shops are very handy. There are also &Play gaming arcades at Exeter. The toilet facilities are next to WHSmith and include: 1 Changing Places facility, 1 ordinary Disabled WC (both are RADAR locked) and 1 large parent & baby facility, with changing tables. I only used the gents WCs. The toilets were fully renovated in 2022 and are certainly much nicer now. They weren't the cleanest & maintenance seemed to be slipping, but at least the toilets themselves flush ordinarily now (before they had "close lid to flush" pans which always seemed to not be working). There are around 11 cubicles and 11-13 urinals, so there is plenty of everything. Overall, not a bad pitstop this. Might be horrid during the summer, but I found Exeter to be a nice services with plenty of food to choose from, decent toilets and a nice, modern feel. I would use it again.

Shower and toilet always clean- very pleasing

We arrived at Moto Exeter Services and was greeted by a wonderful person in KAZ. At around 10.00 am after drive from Cornwall we thought to go to our favourite stop MOTO. We on our way to Milton Keynes so we found a bench to sit down and enjoy our sausage rolls. I’m a very colourful person and as I dress up I all the time a friendly person in KAZ came up to us and had a conversation with us four and loved my autism outfit I wearing. A very clean place at moto with super service, great to feel welcome and lots of smiles. I recommend MOTO to all and again thanks again KAZ with a nice pleasant approach to us all.

Good place for a pitstop and choice of places to eat at.

Seating area filthy. In the 45 mins we were here didn’t see any attendants cleaning. I tried to clean the table with napkins and antibac but the dispenser was empty. The only reason it got 3 stars was because of the large number of EV chargers. Toilets were ok.

I got a parking ticket for being on the slots to long what a joke not going back

Good service station that caters to all your needs. Even had a stand selling matching hats, scarfs and gloves at a reasonable price.

Excellent Mway services, very clean with good choice of food & drink options, my favourite is the Cornish pastie cabin just outside the main entrance.! 🙂

Very busy, and toilet facilities very limited for number of visitors Restaurant selection varied as you'd expect. The prices were as most motorway services are, high!

Ladies toilet disgusting. Half of toilets blocked.

Today I experienced really bad conditions in the male toilets at Exeter Service Station.

Very poor layout, low ceilings, grubby, old. Needs a complete refurbishment ...

Absolutely disgusting toilets. So bad even the kids were calling out how bad they were. Blocked toilets wet floors and awful stench :(

Pretty much Everything closed but then it was boxing day. Toilets smelt disgusting.

The services were very useful as a comfort break but the food from Burger King was terrible value and we will not be stopping there again.

Not a very nice service station always messy and unclean

Someone had blocked all of the toilets in the men’s and I was desperate to use them. Then no soaps in the dispensers.. then the staff at the KFC were practically useless. I had ordered using the app to the wrong store and no one offered any help so I gave up and went to Greggs and the lady there was really good.

This place has really gone downhill over the last year with regards to cleanliness/hygiene. Men's toilets are constantly blocked and smell terrible all the time. Went in today and out of the roughly 12 toilets, 9 were blocked. Rest of the place is dirty and outdated.

5 stars. Love getting stuck in washing machines.

Greggs Website says open until 7pm . Visited twice closed at 5 pm At least update greggs website . Disappointing

Good parking, has everything you need for long-distance travel. It is possible to pay via Snap, pay an additional £3 and receive a voucher for £10. On weekdays after 18:00 there is no place

Only used the toilets, not clean

Unpleasant toilets. They overflow in the summer and make an unbearable smell. The M&S has great sandwiches. Best place to charge a car for miles.

A necessary evil, not a place that you'd go if you didn't have to.

Decent choice of food and refreshment outlets. Clean.

£30 for 24hrs HGV parking and what they provide in return is a not secure parking area and a shower which smelt heavily of stale urine and had a good inch of water on the floor. Utterly disgusting.

Bit weird to enter/find the entrance. Plenty of parking, variety of foods

The food is OK after 6pm never a parking space for lorry The shower is low pressure due to a burst pipe now on place for more then 3 months for a job worth 2000 pounds management is not doing nothing.. Instead we pay for parking 33 pounds..

One of the better services around yes it’s small but does the job the coach park is literally door to door but the pavement is very low so hard for elderly to disembark coach and lorry’s think they can fill this coach park up and no one at moto cares to move them on so gets dangerous for manoeuvring out and the out lane is on an angle so you can’t see what’s coming but big car park and on site fuel but they will not authorise pumps unless you leave payment cards with them first so very untrustworthy place makes it annoying for lorry and coach drivers having to go in and out repeatedly and also such a stupid location that if two large vehicles are waiting for pumps it blocks the entire road for everyone trying to exit stupid planning As for inside toilets are always busy and not the cleanest but decent enough and the shops are all good but staff in some are demoralised Location wise your practically in Exeter industrial estate and right on motorway and all road to Cornwall and Devon are close by also a travelodge within walking distance but not on site

Lack of products available and staff attitude need improving. Ask for bacon and sausage baguette. Get an abrupt no bacon, then no baguette.

Lovely place to have a break food was brilliant and well priced and a very clean place and staff were brilliant as well

Ev charging is excellent. Main building messy. Toilets limited and not very clean.

A typically overpriced motorway service area. Both male and female toilets stank to high heaven.

Awful toilets, mess everywhere and the food eating area is disgraceful.

Snack stop. Clean. Good facilities.

Use it as a pick up/ Drop off point for my Grandson when he comes to stay.But we always have lunch there as its such a nice service station.

What a dump! all the furniture is so filthy was scared to sit down needs a refurb

The toilets in this service station are always disgusting ... Multiple toilets blocked and overflowing with the resulting mess all over the floor.

Very unpleasant layout long walk to the toilets, badly thought out, busy car park, nowhere safe to walk the dog. Only got 2* because you can get cornish pasties

One ladies toilet closed - fine- but another full of faeces and smelling foul. Cleaning cart nearby, so why hadn't it been tackled? Third toilet also stank, from the plastic sanitary bin that was full of old menstrual products. Disgusting! And NO cash accepted in the two shops we used. Fume! Many people, including me prefer cash, and what happens when the banking apps go down, as they so frequently do!

Ok , not the sort of place that we usually go to..

The worst coffee and service iv ever experienced. My white coffee wasn't and totally undrinkable. Asked staff if something could be done " that's what you ordered" bought a far nicer coffee at M&S. I'm done with Greggs!

A standard service station all the usual food outlets. It has also increased its electric charging points substantially.

Very busy, could hardly move with long queues and few staff.

Adds a good 6 minutes plus on your journey getting to parking lot

The fabric chairs were pretty grim.. could do with plastic ones unless they're going to wash them hourly

Grossly overpriced, disgusting food, dirty toilets....never again!

Everything you need when stopping between long journeys, no shortage of places to eat & drink.

Just stopped for something to eat, purchased food from Asian outlet, the seating area opposite was in a dirty mess the tables were sticky with food on the floor & the moveable wooden chairs with fabric cover were filthy enough that I would not sit on them. The ladies toilets had remnants of toilet paper in nearly all the cubicles, it makes you wonder how often these areas are cleaned. Our visit was from 18.30-19.00 I did mention the lack of hygiene to a helpful shop assistant in W.H. Smiths who said they would pass my comments on .

Terrible signage in and for the car park. Services are fine inside though

Dirty, overly busy though nowhere near full, none of services seem to be working and staff stressed and rude

Usually stop here for a break. There's no slip road, you have to leave the motorway and negotiate busy junctions. Really need your wits about you and observe lane markings as it's easy to get in the wrong lane for the services. Lots of EV charging points.

Very accommodating, plenty of choice to suit all tastes.

Very busy especially on a school half term

Feels like home, and I’m going to buy them shares when I’m rich 😂.
