Has anybody stopped in this service station towing a caravan it looks quite new, is there plenty of room.  All advise would be appreciated.

    We have stopped here quite a few times. There is dedicated caravan parking and we've always found a space. There is plenty of choice in the service area for any eats or drinks if required & we've found the facilities to be fine. It's one of the better service areas we've used.

    It's pot luck if you can find a space. I have never stopped at this service station without seeing a non permitted user occupying at least 1 of the dedicated spaces for cvans/mhs. The dedicated area is quite close to the main block and there is a grass dog walking area also quite close. 

    We've often found it a bit problematical but as Coldeb says the choice of eating is wide, if you're addicted to fast food fare.

    Not one of my favourite places but a necessity as they're in short supply on tha A14.

    We use Cambridge on the way south and it is pot luck for spaces but there are dedicated bays but I think relatively short as you park on a diagonal - straight in/out. However, services are clean and looked after which makes a change!

    Haven't stopped there for about a year.

    However, I used to stop regularly, sometimes as often as once a week, and the Caravan slots were always full....but not with caravans!

    In summer the whole car park is often overflowing!

    We've stopped a few times.  It serves both directions and as has been said parking can get very full.  We were once gridlocked in there and it took us an hour and a quarter to get out. Food choice quite good for a UK motorway service area, though that's hardly a ringing endorsement.
