Welcome Break Gordano Services M5 in North Somerset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Has different restaurants than typical services in the route.

A well appointed service station

"Welcome Break Gordano Services on the M5 is a reliable pit stop for travelers. The services are clean and well-maintained, offering a good range of food options including popular fast-food chains and a café. There are ample restrooms and seating areas, making it a comfortable place to take a break. The staff are friendly and efficient, ensuring a smooth experience. It's a convenient and pleasant spot to recharge during your journey."

Worst services on the M5. Horrid to get to, especially when travelling northbound. Traffic is horrendous and the car park is so tight, I'm surprised I didn't see accidents. The entrance has a tiny door right by the toilets so you have hoards of people trying to shuffle past others who are waiting for the toilet. The dining area is filthy. Bridgwater is much better.

Just somewhere to put our heads. The staff were really friendly and attentive. The hotel was full, so busy. Weather was horrendous but no Aircon or fan so we melted unfortunately, but it did what we needed.

Toilet floors covered in urine and 1 hour wait for food then it came out incorrectly

Disgusting baby changing toilet. Very unhygienic. Extremely dirty. Not been cleaned in some time. Dusty, hair, wee

Quick stop for a coffee and a little rest on the way back form cornwall. I have to say, the car park is a decent size. There aren't many shops, but the toilets were really clean and well maintained, well done! You don’t find many stations with such a clean modern fresh look.

Small service, but had a nice breakfast and reasonable priced

Nice rest area with shopping opportunities

Needed EV charge after battling lots of traffic on M5. Services were full but only one of the chargers were working so was a queue for the other one. Took over 2hrs before we could start our journey again.

Hi Welcome Break, Thanks for asking. It's mainly the people speeding in the car park. Vigorously using blue badge and family parking when they are clearly not of that group. Same people barging through the too narrow entrance like idiot cattle. The seating chairs in an absolute state (looks apocalyptic). And the blaring "adverts" in the dining area, of which one only hears the announcement chime blaring but no speech, that deregulatied it is. Toilets ok. Food ok. Shops ok.

Easy movement round car park and services, great toilet facilities

Good services. Has what you need but avoid on a bank holiday!

Ideal for a break on your journey a fuel available 24 hours. Some of the food outlets seem to close early evening which is frustrating if you want a hot snack later in the day. You can get snacks and sandwiches from the newsagents, but they aren't cheap, but I suppose that's pretty standard at a motorway services.

Needs proper charging area as it is such a large service station

All food outlets close at 9.30pm. Only sandwiches/ meal deals from the shop are available after that.

Usual serices stuff at inflated prices

Not clean very untidy and the food lacks quality for the money. I am sorry, but you answer is not good enough to justify the awful food served to us by KFC. People pay to have fresh food and KFC does not serve fresh food at the time of our custom. Now you review shows what kind of people operate at this particular service station.

No where to eat late at night apart from getting a sarnie from news agents. Maybe something else a bit more filling later on an evening

It's OK but we were really disappointed by the lack of gluten free options for my son, who is Coeliac. The Waitrose had plenty of special stuff for vegans, but nothing GF except for some pretzels and some nature bars, for example.

We stopped there for refreshments and to stretch our legs, travelling to Ilfracombe by coach

Toilets were clean! Good service.

Severely understaffed outlets meant that our wait for a KFC meal was over an hour. There wasn't enough staff for what was predictably going to be a busy summer holiday travel day. Poor management and needs improvement for peak times.

Charging points out of commission

Absolutely hectic. Rushed in here to do my business and the toilets are badly labelled. Ended up in a disabled toilet that looked like a ward. Most anxious I've ever been in a public toilet before. The services prices are as extortionate as ever.

VERY busy service stop but a good place to walk the dog in a journey break. Walk to "dog hill" into the trees and then through a maize field!

Standard motorway services. Has everything you could need to eat and drink

Good service station, extremely busy.

Nothing better than boiling shower on hot day ! Why can we not set the temperature by ourselves, drivers are treated like animals. 2 months later still no change you litteraly can't stand under the shower because the water is so hot.....

Nice services plenty of choices for food. Not a lot of disabled parking here.

Welcome Break is great, yet poor service for EV drivers. Second year in a row that Gridserve Electric Highway has had one of its two charging stations out of service and covered in a tarpaulin. In the height of summer holidays, leaving families with young children queuing for a charge. @Welcome Break management please sack these charging providers and partner with a provider who can deliver a good service. Gridserve Electric Highway is hurting your brand. Your Faithfully, MK

Not as clean as it seems, one cleaner wipes the tables and throws all the bits of food etc onto the floor, 10 minutes later another cleaner comes round to sweep up but leaves liquid spills for a further cleaner. On the plus side. The toilets were spotless. Normal shops, subway, burger king, KFC whsmiths, etc. Be aware, though, when Subway assistants are making sandwiches, the chicken is right next to the tuna, any chicken that falls into the tuna tub is just picked out.The tuna tub is not removed. Not very nice for vegetarians.

Showers at £35 with a meal 😱 I have to add, I got mis lead with information provided. Showers are actually free if you are not stopping over. They are well maintained and clean. A very good service

Awful place. Very noisy. Very expensive. Will.not be stopping here again!

Love this services - plenty of food choices and a great outdoor space for a rest!

Another standard motorway services on the M5. Service at Starbucks was pretty decent. Good drinks at WHSmith and loads of other things you would find at a motorway services. It is really spacious and there's even a hill next to the car park. Overall, same motorway services experience as other services around

Good place to take rest for a bit as you can't spend more than 2 hours for free.

Very crowded but got served fairly quickly considering

Welcome Break Gordano Services M5 Review: As a professional reviewer, I had the pleasure of visiting Welcome Break Gordano Services on the M5 and was thoroughly impressed. The extensive car park ensures easy access and convenience for all visitors. The cleanliness of the facilities is impeccable, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere. The dining options are varied and cater to diverse tastes, providing both quick snacks and more substantial meals. The overall layout is thoughtfully designed, promoting a seamless and enjoyable experience. This service area stands out as a top choice for travelers seeking comfort and quality during their journeys. Five stars!

Average service stop. No better, no worse.

It was absolutely heaving, and there are even fewer disabled spaces because of all the electric charging points.

Very welcoming despite inclement weather and Friday evening

Very poor break place. There's a Waitrose and a WHS where you can find some salads and fruits, but the other options are all junk: KFC, Burger King, Subway, Chopsticks (had the weekly salt intake in one spoonful of salt and pepper chicken). On a plus note, there are plenty of toilets and reasonably well maintained.

Super friendly AND super disabled friendly.

Good parking, Well stocked Waitrose, clean WCs, friendly staff.

Great selection of food and drink.We had two capppchios very resonable prices too.

It was fairly clean and large with quick and nice service at Starbucks and Waitrose, but the prices are astronomically high! There are great connections to the service station from both sides of the motorway, what's the point of making the prices so inflated? Other than that, it's a solid place to rest at.

Good service 👍 had to wait a bit busy day .

need more disabled parking spaces

Lovely services, however they need to work on their evacuation protocols for fire alarms as we were refused the option of rear firedoors and herded right through the services out the front door which took a good 10minutes with the huge crowd

Always clean and dog friendly inside and out

Friendly staff stopped for a toilet break and a bite to eat for dinner clan and tidy

Good selection of stores - toilets very clean too !

Normal services with all you need to take a break while traveling,clean ,plenty of food and space to park up while resting

Typical motorway services. All you need, staff were pleasant, food was acceptable, recommend the bacon baps from the breakfast bar.

Stopped here in the way back to Wales from Bristol airport. It wasn't busy as it was 5am. Only used the toilet but they were clean

Clean, tidy and easy to get around

Needed a toilet break on a journey from Devon to Birmingham. Got to the toilet and it was disgusting. I opened the one stall available to find a number 2 the size of a dead otter with what appeared to be a freshly swallowed (not chewed) full English breakfast stuck to it. Waited for another stall and that was clogged with toilet paper.

Useful pitstop before you hit the m5 section through Somerset and North of Exeter

Very clean even though it was packed. Great food.

Great place to visit and take a quick break

All good,love The Good Breakfast, had Bacon Egg & Sausage bap

The usual , good service , easy parking decent prices

We camped overnight here to break our journey up for £18 much cheaper than a campsite and had 24 hour service and a great choice of food shops.

These services are a favourite of mine, they have everything you need, offer a good selection of outlets and always have plenty of space to park on a busy day. There is also adequate space to walk your dog to help break the journey up, and give your pooch time to stretch their legs, and also grass to picnic of should the weather allow. My only gripe is that they no longer offer discounts to MOD or Emergency Services personnel and veterans, shame on you!!

All electric chargers are Tesla except for two and one of those was broken. Coffee is Starbucks which I don’t like and Im boycotting anyway because of their involvement in Israel. Will never call here again

Very very busy services but ideal located when u want a break from the traffic jams. Good selection of food & drink, and M&S. Pretty good service at Starbucks.

Typical overpriced motorway services. Hardly any rubbish bins in the car park area.

Poor road markings! How the do I know where to parc

Spotlessly clean toilets and revamped building well worth stopping there for refreshments.

Does the job, nothing out of the ordinary, you have to walk through loads of shops to get to the bogs like all these places. They were nice and clean anyway.

Nice place to stop for a break. Good selection of place to eat

Stopped in here for a quick toilet 🚻 didn't go in the shops or restaurants but the toilets were in good clean condition which was hugely appreciated

All you need for a long Ng journey stop

Very busy but excellent service!!

Stopped to take a shower. Showers were clean and had warm water! Much better then most of the showers along the highway in Europe

Good clean service station, great food selection at decent prices. Easy access off M5.

Typical motorway service station.

Has a Starbucks at the top and in the services the toilets are clean but old and dated compared to others.

Not the best services by any means. Toilets were clean ish, usual food outlets. Very busy and not very welcoming.

Nice place good coffee. Good place to use break

It’s very easy and simple near for all purpose

Just a normal welcome break services

Terrible services, most of it is shut till 11am and when I asked about why it was so late I was told all services are the same. Rude management staff

Clean ish toilets. One of the better service stations. Like that it has a waitrose.

Visited here (01/06/24) Not too bad services here. It didn't stay long but it looked ok.

Toilets are an absolute disgrace Dirty sanity products stuck up all the walls Toilets covered in poo It was lucky it was a quiet time as I went through 8 cubicles before I found one semi clean to use I won’t post pictures as they are to disgusting

The champagne of service stations on the M5. That is all.

The pastry van is really nice, I love the chickpea pastry. The service pretty much has everything you could need.

Very busy but plenty of parking clean facilities and good choice of food Outlets

Plenty of parking, clean and tidy

Clean toilets, choice of snacks and drinks , plenty of parking

Ok place to stop of but can be really busy

Popular place but not many disabled spaces in the carpark.

These motorway services seem disorganised and not very inviting though the toilets were extremely clean and modern.

Reasonable size car park very busy when we visited late May Bank Holiday Friday 11.30am. Bay for cars with families 8 disabled bays by entrance. The are steps but also wheelchair/pram ramp to one side. Very clean modern gents Grey large tile walls 8 new style Dyson hand driers. Hot water and soap all working. Private shower rooms avail to hire. Plenty of choice for coffees. 8x Tesla electric chargers. Only 2 Gridserve 1 covered over. Plenty of bench seating outdoors easy access type. Nicely landscaped surround. Dog friendly for exercising. The odd car towing caravan entering by mistake.

A good place for a stop off. Nice and clean inside and plenty of parking. We always stop here when heading down the M5.

I only stopped for a toilet break . The ladies toilets were really nice, clean floor and sinks, I have 1 suggestion they could have a paper bag dispenser in the toilet cubicles so ladies using the bins for sanitary products can roll them up and place them in a bag before they're put into the bin, the reason for this idea is when I opened the lid of the bin in my toilet there was a dirty sanitary towel facing upwards sticking out towards me as the sticky part on the back had stuck to the lid as whoever placed it there shut the bin lid. It wasn't a very nice sight and I couldn't use the bin as it was dangling down and would of touched my hand. I'd of given more stars if this hadn't happened. It's only because the rest of the ladies rest room was so clean that I gave the 3 stars.

Typical welcome break fodder. All cooked in inflammatory seed oil. Good meeting point though as can be accessed from both North and southbound directions.
