Great time at the rabbit
Pros:

Great overnight stay. The staff were very friendly. The whole place was absolutely spotless.
The spa was very relaxing and the rooms were very comfortable and spacious.

The breakfast was great for me, and my wife really enjoyed it.
The meal we had was good but not excellent the waiting staff were 10/10 very friendly and knowledgeable.
I had scallops to start the only criticism I would have is that they were under seasoned
As was my cod as my main. But I still finished both.

The cocktails were excellent but a little pricey. And I also had a pint of guinness that wasn't the greatest. But I still enjoyed the whole experience of the rabbit and will definitely be returning

Amazing
Pros:

Had a lovely time at the Rabbit Hotel. Very relaxing atmosphere. Staff were brilliant and very welcoming. Rooms were fab and myself and my partner really enjoyed the clay ritual experience. The only minor problem was that we could not find the remote of our TV.

A very relaxing stay.
Pros:

I went with 3 friends and stayed in the attic XL room. We were very impressed with the spa. Although it’s smaller than the Galgorm, it’s less busy and enjoyed the fact it was much quieter. The room was beautiful and very clean and the beds were very comfortable. The staff were very friendly. We had a lovely breakfast. We loved it so much that we paid for a late check out until 1pm so we could spend longer in the spa. We left feeling very relaxed.

A gem!
Pros:

We love the Rabbit! We genuinely cannot fault this place. Apart from the weather we’ve experienced each time we’ve come (cold and rainy), the hot pool and private baths make up for all of it! We’ve had massages there once and this is vital to book weeks in advance (sadly why we only got to experience it once so far), but we will be back in this little haven and cannot wait. The food is lovely, the cocktails always on point, and the atmosphere around the place is always so serene, chilled and exactly what you want when you just want to get away.
See you soon!

Pros:

I loved my stay here. It's just like heaven. Fantastic ❤️

Cons:

Well we got a chicken dish for dinner with white wine sauce and it was not that. It was more like wl chicken gravy. 😕
