Overview
The Belfry Hotel & Resort is an award-winning hotel, home to 300+ luxurious bedrooms and suites, several restaurants and bars, events and meetings spaces, a leisure club and spa. Our three golf courses, including The Brabazon, are recognised as world-class, and home to this year's Betfred British Masters. Whether you're drawn to our iconic golf courses, the serenity of the spa, the excitement of guest services, or our behind-the-scenes operations, there's a place for you in our vibrant team.
We are writing a new and exciting chapter in the history of The Belfry. A major expansion and renovation project has begun at our resort, due for completion in Autumn 2025. With a substantial investment in excess of GBP80 million, we are enriching our resort including the addition of a new event space, The Masters Suite, 149 extra bedrooms, a state-of-the-art leisure club, and much more.
We believe in taking care of our team just as much as we do our guests. That's why we were named in the 2024 Caterer\'s Top 30 Best Places to Work, as well as Springboard's 2024 Best Employer. So, join us on our journey as we unveil a new and unparalleled resort.
