Hi all, we're travelling up from Bournemouth after collecting our new van later this week, but there are obviously no sites open yet for an overnight stop.

Anyone have any suggestions about where we might be able to stay? Bournemouth to Leeds but probably leaving lunchtime-ish so was thinking somewhere around Oxford? Open to suggestions though!

Thanks in advance!

personally if it was us we would do it in one hit, with regular breaks, its only about 5 hrs driving. plus 2 stops so would be home around tea time, personally oxford tho is only 90 miles up the road far to soon for an overnight stop,

Not the nicest (or cheapest) places to stay, but can you still stay overnight at motorway services?

They are open and some have extended their free parking time.

Unless the rules have changed recently it is still illegal to stay away from your normal abode overnight so perhaps best to do the trip in one day.

it is a long way to go in one go. Although it is illegal to stay anywhere overnight until next weekend it is also not a good idea to drive when tired.
