We currently have an amazing opportunity to join the team as Food & Beverage Supervisor. Join our Team at Dumbleton Hall Hotel. At Dumbleton Hall, we do not simply run a hotel.

We are inviting passionate, thoughtful, and character-led individuals to join us in creating an experience unlike any other in the Cotswolds.
Who We Are
Dumbleton Hall: A Manor Reborn. Set in the richest pocket of the Cotswolds, Dumbleton Hall blends heritage, romance, culture, and countryside elegance. Our story reaches back to the Holland family, the literary circles of Gaskell, Dickens, and Darwin, the Mitford sisters, and poet laureate John Betjeman. Today, we continue this tradition by offering guests a living narrative of culture and hospitality.
Our Character & Place
Between Shakespeare’s Stratford and Cheltenham’s Gold Cup, our manor stands as the grand gateway to theatre, racing, walking country, and village life. Our interiors draw inspiration from the Belle Époque and the 1920s, with William Morris and Frederic Leighton as artistic touchstones. Our gardens, lake, cascades, and arboretum create an Arcadian idyll where guests arrive as visitors and depart as part of the Dumbleton story.
What Makes Us Unique
- Manor Life – Rituals of welcome, firelight, garden and lake, and gracious dining.
- Culture & Story – A heritage woven through literature, diplomacy, and society.
- Countryside & Walking – The Winchcombe Way at our gates and historic estates all around.
- Grand Tour Polish – Refinement in service, signage, and dining.
- Romance – From moonlit gardens to weddings, honeymoons, and love stories.
Our team members are custodians of these values — shaping every touchpoint, from arrival to farewell.
What Makes us so Special
- Each of our rooms has amazing views of the grounds and Cotswolds.
- The Hall is unique in its décor and history.
- We are a team who work together to build memories for our guests and our team.
- We all have the same goal and help each other to be successful.
If you take pride in your craft, generosity, and genuine hospitality, you will thrive here.
