Accommodation in Gloucester That Feels Like a Proper Stay

Gloucester doesn’t always get the attention nearby Cheltenham does, but it’s a genuinely good base — historic, well connected, and close to plenty worth seeing without the tourist crowds. Oakwood Hotel sits on the peaceful outskirts of the city, in Twigworth, offering comfortable accommodation for anyone visiting Gloucester itself, passing through the wider Gloucestershire area, or using it as a base for business, family time, or a quieter countryside break.

Whether you’re here for one night or a longer stay, Oakwood is built around the same idea: authentic hospitality, a genuinely comfortable room, and an atmosphere that makes you want to come back.

A Peaceful Setting on the Edge of Gloucester

Being just outside the city centre has real advantages. You get a quieter night’s sleep, easier parking, and a short, straightforward drive into Gloucester itself when you need it — without the noise or congestion that comes with staying right in the middle of town. For anyone visiting nearby communities, or simply wanting somewhere calm to return to at the end of the day, Twigworth offers a good balance between convenience and quiet.

Rooms Built for Comfort

Our rooms are simple and comfortable — well-heated, properly quiet, with good beds and decent showers. Nothing overdone, just the essentials done properly. Check-in stays flexible for guests arriving at different times, whether that’s after a long drive, a business trip, or simply an early or late arrival into the area.

Food & Drink at the Heart of a Stay

Accommodation in Gloucester means little without somewhere decent to eat, and this is where Oakwood does most of its talking. Our dining spans several spaces, each with its own mood: The Grill for confident, seasonal cooking built around Gloucestershire produce, The Pub for something more relaxed, The Drawing Room for morning coffee, and The Terrace for long summer evenings when the weather allows. Every space has been thoughtfully put together, with quality produce and genuine hospitality at the centre of it.

Guests come to us for a range of reasons — a relaxing getaway, a family break, a business stay, or a special occasion. Others are visiting for events at Cheltenham Racecourse, exploring the wider Gloucestershire area, or attending a wedding or celebration nearby. Our occasions & events team can help arrange anything from a small group stay to a larger celebration, room block and dining included.
