Had a fabulous stay at the Rabbit. The rooms in particular are lovely and decorated to a high spec. Worth booking the slightly bigger room as they are very spacious! Spa is fantastic and not over crowded or anything. Will definitely be back!

Loved the heated pool, jacuzzis and pool bar! Felt like a real holiday! Because we booked through a partner site we were unaware that a clay booking was complementary and had been booked at a time before we arrived so make sure you check!

Great stay overall. Had issue with room on arrival but was quickly and efficiently dealt with which showed great customer service. Hotel and the Spa were amazing restaurant and bar area were well decorated for Christmas and very homely and comforting. It was busy but still the service was quick and friendly. Would recommend the hotel and would love to go back

8/10 Very good

Very nice room. Good pool area, however very little space to just sit and chill or read a book which means the area can get uninteresting after a while. Bar is ok, but the drinks are extremely expensive.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The room was cute though a bit awkward having half of the bathroom in the room and shower and toilet either side. The restaurant was really expensive for what it was and the location. The pork meal I paid £30 (assuming it would be amazing for that price) tasted really weird/not great and I had stomach pains after that for hrs. The Spa was great, a button to order drinks would be easier or electronic bracelet to wear and choose options via tablet. Otherwise no one would be swimming with a phone and too cold to get out to order another drink. The staff aren’t really proactive or present. Felt we had to go find someone or get their attention a lot of the time, just not what you’d expect for the price you are paying to stay and eat there.

Outstanding night stay. The weather was on our side this week and could have mistaken being in a resort abroad. The staff were all lovely, the cocktails were tasty and they even have a resident dog called Florence who is the sweetest! Will definitely be back again

The spa area is amazing, well maintained and clean. Food and service wasnt fantastic at both breakfast and dinner. Our room was lovely. I would come back but just not eat there.
Verified review

6/10 Good

Definitely not the standard of the Galgorm. Evening menu for valentines weekend was poor and the atmosphere in the restaurant on 13th Feb left a lot to be desired as 2 guests where having an argument for everyone to hear. I would describe the Rabbit as the Galgorm's poor relative.
Verified review

6/10 Good

Comfortable bed but a few niggles with the room. The kettle was too big to fit under the tap in the bathroom. There was no hotel amenities details brochure in the room. To access info there was a QR code but not everyone wants to download apps or even has a smartphone. A sheet of A4 with info would not be great expense. We had to guess the timings of breakfast as this was not given to us by the reception staff on arrival. Breakfast was ok. Not a great choice compared to other hotels of this rating.
