The village has a free house pub with good restaurant, a church and a village hall, where there are frequent daytime and evening activities. Great Somerford has a late opening shop, public house and primary school. Junctions 16 and 17 of the M4 are both within a convenient driving distance, providing easy access to the area's major employment centres, including Swindon, Bath and Bristol. Trains to London are available from Kemble and Chippenham, both within 10 miles. There are excellent state and private schools within the area, together with public transport links to the neighbouring towns and villages.
