Originally
Northbound only. Southbound services were added by Granada
in 1977 as the Northbound side was very popular.
Moto used this site to trial dedicated zones for dogs to
eat and drink. They provide a full water bowl, and if you
ask a member of staff, they will give you a plastic bowl
for food. Its since been rolled out to most, if not all,

- The entrance slips always seem really tight - with those high kerbs too. Id hate to try to get
a long vehicle in there. - 2006-03-17
- best service station, nice and compact, serves KFC too - 2007-08-21
- On the numerous occasions we make the trip from Scotland to visit my family in Yorkshire, we
tend to use Southwaites as it is on the route. They have a decent size dog exercise area, the
food is ok but as any MSA is overpriced - 2008-01-25
- I like southwaite. Northbound is a nice large quiet carpark, and theres not much faffing about
getting to/from the m/way - good layout - 2008-05-01
- Toilets are extremely clean and tidy. Most of the staff will do anything for you. Overall i
would give Southwaite 9 out of 10. Well done - 2006-01-23
