Hunting hide recommendations

I need to really make a dent in the rabbit population on one of my permissions but the terrain is very flat and open with no cover at all for stalking. A neighbouring business has massive flood lights on at night so, even though it's hundreds of metres away, causes silhouetting.
My only option is to put up a hide and play the waiting game.
Although I shoot on my own I think I'd prefer a 2 person hide for increased space (for my flask and cakes) and so I can have a stretch.
Can anyone recommend a good hide? I'd rather spend a bit more for a really good one than pay twice.
Thanks.

I got given a single bushwear hide when first came out , thought it was a gimmick, .....I was wrong !
Comfy ,works....lots of view point, magnet mesh covered windows , keeps you out elements , pocket for a cup of tea & another for your .22 mags in both arms ....I bought a small set of collapsible twin sticks , look like tent poles ,joined internally by bungee , fine for sitting height ...the single is big enough in my opinion .

If you get one of those pop up hoopy things wait until you try to get it back in the bag

You need to start packing it two hours before you want to leave

Like Saur, also have a Bushwear single popup hide, more than big enough for the job, I put it beside a hedgerow and shoot the rabbits off a tripod as they come out, they soon get used to it and it has accounted for loads of them. Quite comfy in it as well. deerwarden.
