About The Goddard Arms
Swindon's High Street is home to The Goddard Arms, a hotel that puts guests within easy reach of the town's shops, transport connections and nearby restaurants and pubs. It's a straightforward base for exploring the area, with free on-site parking removing one of the usual hassles of a town-centre stay.
Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms, drinks available in-room, and free WiFi, all kept clean and comfortable, though some of the rooms run on the smaller side. The restaurant and bar are a strong point, serving a well-priced menu that includes a hearty full English breakfast and a bottomless brunch. There's also a garden to sit out in, meeting rooms for those travelling on business, and 24-hour reception for flexible arrivals.

What guests say
Arrived on a sunny day, atmosphere and interior is so warm and welcoming! It’s my first time here and I came in alone for a meal and a nice coffee. Exceptional service as soon as I entered, I was particularly served by Lucy and also had a lovely chat with Will and Harry. They took great care of me and ensured my order was delivered quickly too! Food and coffee is tasty, I ordered the all-day breakfast and an iced coffee. The music also adds a nice soft touch to the atmosphere! I’ll definitely be back. Thank you!! 🤍

Attended the "All Day Brunch" after selecting my future daughter-in-law's wedding dress. We all then went to The Goddards for the Brunch. We all drank and ate too much and had a great time. Thank you very much to our server

This was a bit humbling experience as I have been reading about this place since I was young. We were in town searching for Goddard history and this was a fun stop. My lunch was very good and they had a very good selection of draught Beer. I added some photos of the goddard legacy from there walls.

A friend and I went for a bottomless brunch. The service was absolutely brilliant. We were offered a really warm welcome and the staff really looked out for us for the whole two hours. Will was a fantastic host, the food and drinks were great, and we will definitely go back.
