A Co Antrim hotel has been named the AA Hotel of the Year in Northern Ireland.

The Rabbit Hotel and Retreat in Templepatrick won accolade.

Speaking about The Rabbit, an AA Inspector said: "Self-described as the laid-back sister to Galgorm, The Rabbit has been a tremendous success since its opening last year.

"Significant investment and redesign has transformed the former Templeton property into a very much destination hotel and spa experience".

TV presenter Gabby Logan hosted the awards in London, the first in-person ceremony in three years.

The awards honoured the best hospitality establishments in the UK across 28 categories, including AA Restaurant of the Year, AA Hotel of the Year and other categories.

Lynsey Gordon, General Manager at The Rabbit, said: "This award reinforces our unwavering commitment to deliver an outstanding experience and recognise the talents, dedication and efforts of our team.

"We are incredibly grateful to all our guests for their support and we look forward to creating many more memory-making moments at The Rabbit Hotel & Retreat".
