Tebay Services, Northbound, between J38 and J39 on the M6, is delighted to have been the only Motorway Service Area to be awarded 5 Stars in the Loo of the Year Awards.
The toilets at Tebay Services Northbound were recently refurbished as part of a full refurbishment programme. General Manager, Joshua Jackson commented “First impressions count and the toilets are usually the first point of call for our customers. It is great that we have been recognised for surpassing customer expectations and all credit to the team who keep them clean and make them look as good as they did the first day they opened.”
To enhance the experience for families travelling with small children, special family rooms have also been added which include toilets and sinks at a child friendly height, a baby changing counter and fun decorations.
A brand new food to go area is now complete serving, fresh home-made sandwiches, soups and snacks for travellers who don’t have much time to spare. The main café is being refurbished and is due to be complete before Easter.
The Loo of the Year Awards have been identifying the best in the UK since 1987 and are recognised as standard setters for all those who provide ‘away from home’ facilities for staff, customers and visitors. Everyone who entered the awards received an unannounced visit from an authorised Loo of Year Awards Inspector and were assessed against a wide range of judging criteria – including signage and décor, fixtures and fittings and overall standard of cleanliness and management. Every loo receives a star grading and those with the highest grading are short listed for one of a number of National Awards covering England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
