North of England: family friendly pit stop accomodation recommendations

I’m looking for somewhere to break the journey overnight between Surrey and central Scotland. Probably within 30 mins of the A1 or M6 in Northumberland or Cumbria. With two young children something fun like a farm stay or with a playground would be great. But as we’re only after a pit stop, it needs to accept one night bookings and have food options close by, so we don’t have to worry about about shopping and cooking. Any suggestions?

Pub in Bamburgh? Just off the A1.

We often stop off at The Forbiddon corner when we head up north.

Lancaster Premier Inn has the Brewers Fayre with small soft
play next door. Williamson Parkin the city centre has some nice play areas, lots to investigate, butterfly house and small animal “zoo”.
