The hospitality industry spans many different businesses including restaurants, bars and hotels. At Retreat East, we offer a wide range of hospitality roles covering front of house, the kitchen and housekeeping.

Why join the Retreat East team?

As an independently owned luxury retreat in Suffolk, our team gets the chance to be creative and share ideas with the management team who are always open to new ideas and initiatives. Unlike working at a hotel chain, you have the freedom to mould your role as part of a friendly, supportive team whilst enjoying a range of benefits.  

Retreat East is still a relatively new retreat so there are lots of opportunities to be part of business growth and journey. The retreat also sees continuous investment to ensure it remains an award winning luxury retreat in the stunning Suffolk countryside. We have recently invested in new element barns, shepherds huts and are soon to start our spa expansion.

  • Friends and family rates - book a stay in our one bed accommodation for £75 and two bedroom accommodation for £150.
