1st driving in the Uk, from Edinburgh to Chatsworth with a stop at Bamburgh Castle, is this a good route?

Hey everyone!

Friends and I are doing a road trip from Edinburgh to Peak District, and we'll be picking up car in Lochrin Place around 5:30 PM and driving down to Chatsworth/The Peak District, with a stop at Bamburgh Castle on the way (maybe).

From what I read here the best route is to take the A1 route if it's our first time driving...

This will be our first time driving in the UK, so we're trying to keep the route simple and avoid stressful fuel situations late at night.

Also, would you recommend filling up the tank in Edinburgh before leaving the city, or stopping somewhere better along the route?

Also if anyone has any recommended motorway services/gas stations on this route? areas to avoid stopping late at night? best "comfortable" services for coffee/toilets?
