Which services to use M4

[Lanerboy]

We will be heading west on the M4 towards Swansea on Saturday night and we are looking for a decent motorway services area to spend the night.

Not been this way for years so was looking for recommendations for which services to use as some are better than others normally.

Are any better equipped for motorhome parking than others, would rather have designated motorhome parking rather than in amongst the trucks

Yep i know about that but im after a recommendation for which one to use, if going down M5 i use the new Gloucester services as they are nicer than the Michael wood ones, but not sure which one to use on the M4 west between chepstow and Swansea

First 2 hours free for all vehicles, after which cars must pay £15 for a further 24 hours and HGVs, caravans and coaches must pay £25 (or £27 to include a £10 meal voucher). at cardiff gate

between the M5 and Swansea the M4 services are in my opinion poor. the one at J36 Bridgend has recently had a referb so is not bad and parking is easy.

Magor services i find a bit small and tight parking.

J33 Cardiff west is Ok but nothing special quite a slope on the parking areas.

Strensham before coming off the M5 could be an option.

Are there not any pub stops handy for the M4? Don’t know if you’re in Britstops but you could look on searchforsites.

Sarn services at Bridgend would be my choice if i had to stop on the M4. but its quite close to Swansea

Secure and motorway services don’t go in the same sentence. The low life the move around there cutting curtains or nicking diesel is common.
