Where to stay in Priestwood
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Not one hotel sign hangs in Priestwood. Priestwood is housing rather than hotels, so most visits start from a room in the Bracknell town centre and cover the mile out to the suburb on foot, past St Andrew and the Old Malt House. The suburb keeps no accommodation quarter of its own, and the Berkshire town absorbs that demand.

About Priestwood
What are the main landmarks in Priestwood?
Two names carry the record. St Andrew and the Old Malt House are the only landmarks listed for Priestwood, a suburb set about a mile north-west of the Bracknell town centre and residential in fabric rather than built around a square of its own. The set is small.
What the place offers instead is proximity, since the Berkshire town's centre is barely a mile off on foot.
What is the history of Priestwood?
Bracknell absorbed it. Priestwood is recorded as a suburb of the Berkshire town rather than as a settlement with a charter of its own, and its documented past narrows to two surviving names, St Andrew and the Old Malt House, which stand among streets laid out well after them. Both names point backwards.
The rest of the written record for the suburb is thin.
Where is Priestwood?
Priestwood takes up ground roughly a mile north-west of the Bracknell town centre, a quarter of the Berkshire town rather than a village standing apart from it.
