Search and find motorway service stations, hotels, motels, pubs, restaurants, bed and breakfasts, B&B's, within 5 minutes or 3 miles of motorway junctions, as well as places to rest and of interest including information on easily accessible pubs, hotels, restaurants, garages and petrol stations as well as places of interest and things to do and includes detailed directions on how to get to them.

Based on your feedback over the years, we have recently upgraded the site to make it more of a community for people who use the motorway network. You can now add and amend facilities as well as review and comment on them. You can also ask questions and air your views about anything to do with motorways, using our forum.

Another new feature we have added is 'More than 5minutesaway'. This is for all those places that you have told us about over the years that you think should be included but were more than 3 miles from the nearest junction. You can now add them under this new section

All the locations listed have car parking at or adjacent to them so you won't have to search for parking when you get there. The guide avoids taking you into the centre of busy towns and cities in an attempt to make your stop as quick and easy as possible.

You may like to visit these pages, too:

• Press Comments - Read what they're saying about us.

Whilst every attempt has been made to ensure that the information contained in the guide is accurate, the authors cannot be held liable for any errors or omissions.

If your favourite place is 5 minutes from the motorway and is not listed or you feel that your establishment should have been included you can add it using the link on the relevant motorway junction page.

We hope you find 5minutesaway.co.uk useful and that it helps to make your motorway journey more enjoyable.

Please remember to mention 5minutesaway.co.uk when you visit any of the places listed.
