“The Goddard Arms, a former Coaching Inn, sits comfortably in Swindon's Old Town, blending history with a lively pub atmosphere. It's a social hub with a generous Sunday roast-though late-night noise can be a consideration. I'd say it's a solid base for exploring local attractions, especially if you're travelling with your dog.”
