The Rabbit Hotel & Retreat

About

Located lakeside in Templepatrick, just 20-minutes from Belfast City and 10 minutes from Belfast International Airport, The Rabbit Hotel & Retreat is an AA Four Star hotel and promises to give you all the creature comforts you love housed in beautifully designed spaces with a few quirks along the way. 

With unique bedrooms, delicious dining and an open-air spa, the hotel exudes all the luxury you would expect from Galgorm’s laid-back little sister. No trip is complete without a trip to The Spa, which exudes a mix of sophisticated luxury and Bohemian glam boasting luxurious facilities, a beach bar and treatments coming soon for guests to enjoy during their stay. Relax in the aroma steam room, soak in the Swedish sauna and hot tubs, take a dip in the Roman bath and enjoy the views from the heated pebble beach, the only attraction of its kind in the island of Ireland.

If you’re living for the delicious dining, The Rabbit Restaurant will look after you. Expect fresh, innovative, and seasonally led menu with a warm welcome. Like all good things in life, food is best served around the table with loved ones and there is a menu to please a crowd – appetisers to pique your interest, pizzas for a slice of comfort, sharing options for two, dishes inspired by an Italian American influence, and a lunch spread to keep you going. The Restaurant also boasts a large terrace for al fresco dining and a Garden Bar to enjoy food and drinks outdoors, whatever the weather.

Holiday plans that your pooch can be part of! If you're looking for dog-friendly accommodation, you're barking up the right tree! Our Comfy with Outdoor Bathtub rooms are suitable for your pooch to relax in style. As well as the quirky bathtub, the private outdoor space boasts a wood burning stove. Enjoy luxurious amenities including a king-size bed, Dyson hairdryer, Nespresso machine, Marshall Amp and much more, everything you need for an epic stay.  Our very own furry friend, Florence the Resident Dog can’t wait to make new friends when you come to visit.

Expect all the creature comforts you love housed in beautifully designed spaces with a few quirks along the way. Make our space your place.
