Following three years of meticulous restoration, a wing of the monastery at Belmont Abbey has been beautifully reimagined to incorporate hospitality within the very heart of its gothic architecture. Central to this transformation are ten new en-suite guest rooms, thoughtfully crafted to offer a serene space for peace, prayer, and relaxation. As an integral part of this initiative, the community has literally elevated the roof of a neighboring building to create the Garden Room—an inviting, sunlit lounge and dining area equipped with self-service amenities, seamlessly connecting to the tranquil beauty of St Luke’s Garden.
Together with eight beautifully refurbished rooms in the former guesthouse, The Chapterhouse now offers 18 comfortable en-suite bedrooms, ready to welcome both long-standing friends and new visitors. Ideal for those coming for a retreat, a few days of quiet, or to explore the beauty of Herefordshire, the community hopes visitors will find here a space of welcome and renewal.
The abbey’s conference facilities are expected to find a new reach for groups, businesses and charities – the largest facilities in South Herefordshire.
The community looks forward to once again hosting parish and church groups, spiritual retreats, and conferences. In fact, the first group to “test the beds” were a wonderful group of young Jesuits from all over the world who came to explore the theme of integral ecology – an encouraging start to this new chapter in the abbey’s life of hospitality.
Stay tuned - be part of our official launch happening soon!
