If you’re searching for comfortable, stylish accommodation close to Barnwood, Oakwood Hotel offers exactly the kind of stay that’s hard to find in this part of Gloucestershire. Sitting just outside Gloucester on the Tewkesbury Road in Twigworth, we’re a few short minutes from Barnwood by car, making us a natural choice whether you’re visiting family in the area, attending a local event, working nearby, or simply looking for a relaxing weekend away without travelling far from home.
Barnwood has grown steadily over recent years, and with that growth has come a genuine need for quality accommodation nearby — somewhere guests can rely on for a comfortable bed, a proper breakfast, and a warm welcome. Oakwood Hotel was built with exactly this gap in mind. We wanted to create a hotel that felt like a natural extension of the community, not just a place to sleep, but somewhere that adds something to a stay in this part of Gloucestershire.
Our rooms have been designed with comfort and practicality in equal measure. Whether you’re booking a single night after a long day or settling in for a longer stay, you’ll find thoughtful touches throughout — quality bedding, contemporary furnishings, and calm, uncluttered spaces that make it easy to switch off. You can browse our full range of options, including options suited to couples, families, and business travellers, on our rooms page.
We know that a good night’s sleep is only part of what makes a stay memorable. That’s why food and drink sit right at the centre of the Oakwood experience. Guests staying with us can start the day with coffee in The Drawing Room, enjoy a relaxed supper in The Pub, or treat themselves to something more refined in The Grill. Every menu draws on the exceptional produce Gloucestershire is known for, prepared by a kitchen team that takes real pride in getting the details right. You can see more of what’s on offer on our dining page.
Location is often the deciding factor when people are choosing where to stay, and our position just outside Gloucester means Barnwood residents and their visiting friends and family don’t have to travel far to find a proper hotel experience. We regularly welcome guests visiting relatives in Barnwood who want a comfortable, private space of their own rather than staying on a sofa bed. We also see business travellers who need somewhere quiet and well-connected for meetings in the area, and couples looking for a short, local escape without the hassle of a long drive or an airport.
Beyond the rooms themselves, what tends to bring people back is the atmosphere. Oakwood was never intended to be just a hotel — it was designed to be a gathering place. On warmer days, The Terrace fills with guests enjoying long, unhurried evenings, and there’s a genuine sense that this is somewhere locals feel proud to bring visitors, rather than a generic stopover.
Whatever the reason for your visit to the Barnwood area, we’ve tried to make sure Oakwood works for it. Families will find the space and flexibility they need for a relaxed break. Couples looking for a getaway can enjoy the quieter corners of the hotel and the calm of the surrounding countryside. Business guests benefit from a peaceful setting that’s still close enough to Gloucester to be practical. And if you’re in the area for a wedding, celebration, or event, our team can help coordinate accommodation alongside the occasion itself — details of which you’ll find on our occasions and events page.
We’d always recommend booking ahead, particularly during weekends and the summer months when demand in the Gloucester and Barnwood area is at its highest. Our team is happy to help with any questions about room types, accessibility, parking, or dietary requirements for dining — just get in touch directly and we’ll do our best to make your stay as easy as possible.
Oakwood Hotel aims to be the kind of place people return to again and again, whether that’s for a single night close to Barnwood or a longer countryside escape. We look forward to welcoming you.
