Perfect Spa experience
Pros:

We recently visited The Rabbit Hotel as a hen party of 20 and had the best time from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, and having everything pre-ordered made the experience so smooth and stress-free for such a large group. Everyone was impressed by both the quality and variety of the meals. The spa was beautiful, so relaxing and perfectly maintained.

What stood out most was the staff. Despite us being a large group, they were incredibly attentive, friendly, and organised throughout our stay. They were also very professional and respectful, being quick to let us know if we were getting slightly loud while still making sure everyone around us felt comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble and they made sure everything ran smoothly for us.

Overall, it was the perfect location for a hen party and we would definitely recommend it for a relaxing and enjoyable group getaway.

Date night for me and my husband’s
Pros:

We had a fantastic evening at the Rabbit Hotel on Tuesday night, enjoying both dinner and drinks in the restaurant bar. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming.

A special mention has to go to our server, Emma J, who really made the experience stand out. She was attentive without being overbearing, friendly, and genuinely made us feel well looked after throughout the evening. Her recommendations were spot on, and she handled everything with a smile, even when it got busy.

The food was delicious and beautifully presented, and the drinks were just as impressive — a great selection and expertly prepared.

Overall, it was a brilliant experience, and Emma J’s service truly elevated the night. We’ll definitely be back!
