Hi All, Just need a bit of help (work related). Does anyone know of a hotel/pub within the Swindon area that has a big old fireplace? 1940's style if poss that would look very Christmassy? Basically as I'm working for marketing at the moment we need one we can use for photography purposes as a back drop in exchange for acknowledging the hotel on a Christmas Card. Would need to incorporate a Christmas tree next to it and rocking chair (very Crosby white Xmas style). Suggestions would be much appreciated.

There is a sort of fire place in the dockle farmhouse.
Probably not exactly what you're looking for......but the first thing that came to me.....

Probably even less what you're after....I've got a 40's fireplace....its ace.

Yeah but it takes time and money and would be better if it was already decorated as the hotels seem to do a v professional job! We don't want to take up too much time for them ideally as they still have a business to run!

Big bigger and a bit more rustic looking ideally, ie more wooden surround.
