    great bar selection

    The bar area has a great selection of drinks with excellent service.

    The noise from the street at night made it hard to sleep.

    slow check-in

    Cozy little spot for a night!

    We had a really nice stay! The room was just right for us and having a bath was a big plus. The pub had great vibes and amazing food – we loved chilling by the fireplace. Only thing was, the check-in could've been a bit quicker, but overall, we enjoyed ourselves!

    good beer

    Just a decent option for getting around the area in Swindon with very good value for money. The service was friendly, and the beer was very good! Make sure to try the Fish & Chips, but be prepared for the batter to be a bit overcooked.

    great food

    the staff were lovely and super friendly, always smiling and making me feel welcome. the food was actually great, and the room was clean and comfy for a solo traveler like me. the shower had a nice powerful flow, really refreshing after a long day. parking was a bit tricky at first but it got sorted nicely. overall, it was a pleasant stay for just one night!

    powerful shower
    evening meal
    steep stairs

    I had a lovely stay at The Goddard Arms. My room at the top was quiet, perfect for restful nights. Central location made it easy to find bars and restaurants nearby. The staff were super friendly, always welcoming and helpful. The evening meal I had was just okay. it needed more flavor. The shower in my room had a powerful flow, refreshing after a busy day. the steep stairs might be a hassle for older guests. friendly service stood out more than anything.

    The Goddard Arms has a warm and inviting atmosphere with lovely decor. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, ensuring my stay was enjoyable. I especially loved the powerful shower in the en suite bathroom, which was a nice touch after a long day.

    The noise from the pub could be disruptive at night.

    The staff at the Goddard Arms were friendly and attentive, making my dining experience enjoyable. the food took noticeably long to arrive, and there were some issues with the meal, such as a very well-done steak that I had to send back. decent atmosphere but could improve.
