I have 3 or 4 days between a flight into Gatwick and a family reception in Swindon, Wiltshire. I am looking for a good destination with lots of charm and history. Any reasonably priced B& B's? I have already visited the southwest and am considering Brighton - Hastings area where I have not visited. I assume that we will have a car. We will have spent a couple of days in London before our trip to Malta. Suggestions please!
