A Beefeater with Premier Inn located just off the M4 at Junc.16 towards Swindon. You see the nearby Hilton Hotel first.Not a lot to do as you are located on a commercial estate, this place is for those on the move. Suited types hold informal business meets. I have never seen children here but I am sure they must have the odd one occasionally.Normal Beefeater fayre and a couple of ales .The Buttecombe Bitter was ok. The only thing that disturbs the peace are the helicopters and odd aircraft from a nearby RAF station but its no big deal.
A pleasant, if perhaps short on character, place for a short stop over.Wheel chair access good alround.
