For couples near Longlevens searching for the perfect place to enjoy a Valentine’s dinner without travelling far, Oakwood Hotel offers a warm, romantic setting just outside Gloucester on the Tewkesbury Road in Twigworth. A short drive from home, but a world away from the everyday — that’s the balance we aim for on one of the most important nights of the year.
A great Valentine’s dinner isn’t just about the food, though the food certainly matters. It’s about the whole evening: the welcome at the door, the pace of service, the atmosphere in the room, and the feeling that this table, tonight, is exactly where you’re meant to be.
The Grill at Oakwood is our most intimate dining space, designed for evenings that call for a little more romance — soft lighting, considered table settings, and a menu built specifically around the occasion. Couples looking for a quieter, more formal Valentine’s dinner consistently choose this space for the evening.
If you’d prefer something a touch more relaxed while still feeling special, The Pub offers a cosier, more informal setting without compromising on the quality of the food or service. Both spaces are detailed further on our dining page, so you can decide which suits your evening best.
Our kitchen team creates a dedicated Valentine’s menu each year, built around the best seasonal Gloucestershire produce available at the time. Expect dishes designed to be shared and lingered over, thoughtful course pairings, and a wine list chosen to complement the evening. We’re always happy to talk through the menu in advance if you have specific preferences or dietary requirements to consider.
For couples wanting to make the evening last a little longer, staying overnight is a popular choice. Our rooms offer comfortable, well-appointed accommodation, meaning dinner doesn’t have to end with a drive home — instead, the evening can continue with a relaxed morning together the next day.
Longlevens residents looking for a proper Valentine’s dinner have often had to travel into Gloucester city centre or further afield to find somewhere special. Oakwood Hotel changes that, offering a genuinely romantic country hotel setting just minutes away, complete with on-site parking so you can focus on the evening rather than the logistics of getting there.
If you’d like to combine your dinner with a wider celebration, perhaps a proposal, anniversary, or milestone occasion falling around Valentine’s, our occasions and events team can help arrange extra touches to make the evening even more memorable.
