Modern bar in a small hotel opposite the station, with a bright if somewhat featureless open plan interior. At the back is a well-maintained courtyard area. Three ales from Arkells seemed very well-kept. Handy if waiting for a train, as there is a departure screen provided.

Massively modernized Arkells pub/hotel, could still smell the newness. Island bar with fake slate tiled front, modern pale shades abound in the décor. Live train departure board, selection of papers. Three Arkells ales on: Wilts Gold, 3B and Tinge of Ginge. I tried a half of the latter which was unusually palatable for an Arkells beer and served in pretty good shape, if perhaps a tad cold. Perhaps a bit soulless at present (the refurb needs to bed down) but worth a look. 6.5

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The G W Hotel Bar and Grill
You wouldn't guess from the outside, but this large Arkells hotel bar has a bright modern interior with various seating areas. Also has a pool table and two dart boards plus a large rear patio. Beer availability varies, with two of three handpumps on during my recent visit in both the upper and lower bars - Wiltshire Gold and 3B (£3.00). Overall, not a bad spot for a pint if waiting for a train from the nearby station.
