Hi

We are going to Cornwall at the weekend, could anyone recommend a couple of motorway services for toilet breaks etc with easy to use, dedicated caravan parking area's both southbound & northbound, for our return journey, on the M5?  

Thanks

try strensham

Michael woods aren't to bad just after gloucester both northbound and southbound, Or Gordano (after big bridge at bristol) going south bound isn't to bad! They're all pretty much of a muchness, If you are stopping overnight taunton is cheaper than exeter if staying all night!

When we travel down our first stop is at Frankley services (2 hrs ish of travel). Nothing special but easy to get in and out.

Next stop is usually Taunton Deane (2 1/2 Hrs ish). Again easy in and out

Agree with previous comments regarding Exeter Services. It's one of those without direct access on/off motorway. Depending what time you intend to arrive at Exeter whether you want to use it or not. It does have a large adventure playground so the kids can work off that excess energy.

Have a good holiday (we've another 10 sleeps before we start our trip)

Avoid Bridgewater Services, off junc 24 unless you are expert at reversing into a parking bay. You are either in with lorries or buses and its tight.

We always use Strensham.

I would like to suggest visiting IKEA at top of Birmingham.... 2 min off motorway, chearper than service station and at the moment offering special deals if you take out a family card (free offer), just fill in form and post it in instore box then use.  The family card entitles you to free drinks....
