An odd one this but we had driven up in the EV to Dundee for a cruise to see the solar eclipse off Greenland (we were 2 miles off the coast). Yes that cruise where someone fell overboard off Arbroath sadly.

Felixstowe Dundee return is 950 miles so we stopped over up & down.

Up we stopped in Alnwick for the beauty & also in Dundee to be safe time wise & explore .

Coming back we blasted it & half way is Darlington. So Google suggested the Holiday Inn.

I wasn't expecting much but the rooms were clean & comfortable, the food really quite good. We paid £74 for B&B for 2 .

It is quiet you can't hear the A1 & for us next door was 150 Kw ev charging point.

So if you need a flop & drop heading up or down to Scotland this might be an option.
