Travelling north, in June 2019, from the Manchester area, this was a great choice for a break in the journey to Inverness. Yes there was some background traffic noise. But this is offset by the location close to the motorway, the quality of the site, the staff and facilities, and the surrounding area. The nearby country park is good to walk in. By the way it's a long long walk all the way around the lake. I think another reviewer, suggesting ear plugs, must have been unlucky and picked a bad time to stay. There were no issues like that when we stayed there. We are booked to stay another night on the way back. Highly recommended
