The Goddard Arms - A historic coaching inn in Swindon's Old Town with a dog-friendly pub and traditional dining
Set in a historic coaching inn where horse-drawn coaches once changed horses, The Goddard Arms features an on-site bar and restaurant serving British food, cask ales, craft beers, and an extensive gin selection. Rooms include an en suite bathroom, flat-screen TV with Freeview channels, tea and coffee facilities, and a hairdryer; some rooms face the street. Breakfast is included in most room rates, and afternoon tea is available with options like prosecco or cocktails. The hotel offers free parking for guests and is located 2 km from STEAM Museum of the Great Western Railway and 1 km from Town Gardens. Well-behaved dogs are welcome in the beer garden, and children under 18 can dine in the pub until 7 PM with an accompanying adult.
Pros

Central location in Swindon's Old Town, close to landmarks like STEAM Museum.
Traditional afternoon tea and Sunday roast options are served on-site.
Cons

“The Goddard Arms strikes me as a place where a comfortable bed and a reliably good, cooked-to-order breakfast are cornerstones of the experience; plus, its pub setting adds a social hub. I see it as a practical choice, given the free parking and proximity to local restaurants. A solid option, balancing convenience with a lively atmosphere.”
