Description

The Belfry Hotel & Resort is an award-winning destination with 450+ luxurious rooms and suites, a selection of vibrant restaurants and bars, versatile event and meeting spaces and a relaxing leisure club and spa. Our three exceptional golf courses - including the legendary Brabazon - are celebrated around the world. Whether you're inspired by our iconic fairways, drawn to the tranquillity of the spa, excited by guest-facing roles, or energised by the work behind the scenes, you'll find your place within our dynamic and welcoming team.

 

The Belfry has undergone a major expansion and renovation with an investment of over £80 million, marking an exciting chapter in our history. The resort has been transformed with the addition of The Masters Suite, a stunning new event space, a state-of-the-art leisure club plus a host of other enhancements that elevate the Belfry experience like never before.

 

We believe in taking care of our team just as much as we do our guests. That's why we were named in the 2026 Caterer’s Top 30 Best Places to Work and the Sunday Times Top 10 Places to Work 2026.
