Inside the UK's top service station just outside Bristol

A service station near Bristol has been named one of the top three service stops in the UK. According to a survey by ChooseMyCar.com, Gordano Service Station, off the M5 at junction 19, came second only to Beaconsfield services, located off the M40 in Buckinghamshire.

One of the reasons why Gordano was rated so highly was due to the high number of electric vehicle charging points - 37 - which highlighted its potential for the future. What's more, Gordano boasts the fourth highest number of parking spaces in the list - 510 - as well as two hours of free parking time and even dog walking facilities.

Service stations across the country were ranked using a criteria of various 'attractive elements', such as availability of electric vehicle charging points, price of fuel, variety of restaurants and whether dog walking is available. While top spot Beaconsfield had a total of 16 restaurants and coffee shops on site in total, Gordano was close behind with 13.
