European here, although our countries are smaller. 20 mins is quite obviously a short drive.
UK is pretty small but it still takes 7 Hours to get from Glasgow to london and I can't imagine anyone booking overnight accommodation for that drive. That's two major cities with 100% motorway/freeway driving, I haven't even brought up Cornwall.
I drive 5h for family within England on a monthly basis.
Your comment is naive.
My family that still lives there stay overnight for trips like that. Me on the other hand: drove across Canada and would drive 4 hours, nap for 20 minutes, repeat...because hotels were expensive and my plan of campsite tenting overnight was just too much setup and take down after the first day.
Eh id still be inclined to stay over in Manchester or something to break that up, especially on holiday.
