This review is going to a gushing tribute to the one of the best getaway experiences I have ever…read morehad. Let me set the scene of Rock farm before I continue, set in the Meath Countryside with Slane Castle creating a picturesque backdrop Rock Farm is quite possibly the best glamping location on the island of Ireland. There is a variety of accommodation on site including shepherds huts, tents and yurts as well as a traditional thatched farm house that sleeps 22 people. We stayed in the yurt named Hazel which was at the far end of the site. It could have comfortably slept 6 people but it was also cosy enough for 2. Our candlelit yurt came equipped with a wood burning stove and a double bed. The yurts can get cold at night so make sure you collect plenty of wood and kindling from the 'shack'. The 'shack' is the communal kitchen and shower facilities. The kitchen has a gas stove and all the cooking equipment you could possibly want. The showers are clean and warm and are a far cry from old dingy one drip showers you usually associate with campsites. Outside the shack there is a BBQ and a clay pizza oven which are free to use. We purchased a BBQ pack and a pizza kit for the nights we stayed and this allowed us to turn up and not worry about food. I would suggest bringing extra condiments and maybe a few salad items for your BBQ. There are some bits and pieces in the shack but it's best to be safe. There's also a wood burning hot tub in the middle of the farm - be warned it does take a few hours to heat up but once it's bubbling it's definitely worth a dip, especially under candlelight. The location of Rock Farm is excellent. Only one hour 30 minutes from Belfast by car and a short walk from the welcoming pubs of Slane it makes for the perfect retreat. Few pointers - 1. Theres no electricity in the yurts but you can charge your phone/laptop/lanterns at The Shack. 2. The farm is sustainable which means they don't waste anything including what goes down the toilet so expect to use a compost toilet. One thing that really set Rock Farm apart was the staff. From the moment we arrived they addressed us by our first names and nothing we requested was too much bother. they even took the time to text us to check how our stay was going. First Class in every single way!

Loved our visit to Rock farm, Slane, for a wedding back in August 2015. It's quite different to the…read moreusual wedding venue which is what makes it a bit special. The location is just outside Slane and nicely secluded away from the hustle and bustle of the real world, out here you're surrounded by mature trees and a wonderful rolling landscape that sweeps down to the river Boyne - with the castle sitting off in the distance. There's a really great vibe from the place and I can't think of anywhere better to go with friends or family for a chilled out weekend.

This is a really nice B&B near main town centre and 5 mins from the hospital, making it pretty…read moreconvenient and a cheap place to stay. There are about 14 rooms, all with a double bed and en suite, dresser, closet and en suite bathroom making it pretty luxurious. There is also free wifi in each room as well as a TV. The rooms are like hotel standard, similar to a 3 star hotel if I were to guess. You get a kettle and cups, saucers and plates in your room for tea any time as well. The owner is really friendly and hospitable, and allows you to use the kitchen or dining area. They only provide breakfast and are pretty accommodating to preferences, but some of the stuff they serve is toast, brown bread, cereals, yoghurt, fruit, milk etc. Also hot foods like scrambled eggs, tomatoes and bacon if you request it. The shower is pretty good, just a little on the weak side but always hot. The B&B is really near a good few restaurants and cafes, and theres also a late night pharmacy, Tecso and a few other shops all within walking distance. My one star deduction is for the heating; It's kind of cold despite there being radiators in all the rooms.

Probably the friendliest and most welcoming B&B I've ever stayed in. The owner Dennis is really a…read morejoy, hearty greeting and remembers your name right off the bat, really accommodating. It's clean and made up pristinely every day, they obviously vacuum and air out the rooms for you too which is fantastic. The showers are really very decent for a B&B, and while it couldn't approach my own place I definitely had enough water pressure and the water itself was hot enough that I didn't feel I had to rush through shivering and jump right into bed to re-warm after like other places I've stayed at! It's about 5 minutes' walk from the hospital and 10 minutes' from the centre of town which is really convenient - little takeaways down the street within a 5 minutes' walk are great too. Breakfast is excellent, my ONLY complaint is that the coffee is obviously instant coffee and I'm a bit of a snob there so take that with a grain of salt! The scrambled eggs are particularly good, I suspect he puts cheese in the middle... And he's wonderful for putting out fruit etc for you to take along. Nothing to complain about by a long shot. All in all it's an experience that leaves you in a good mood in the mornings and he has a few very loyal customers who return time and time again which means a great deal, I think! I'd definitely recommend staying here to family and friends.

No joke if you are looking for a great bed and breakfast in Meath you need to stay here. Anne is…read moreamazing, both her and her husband are amazing cooks, the breakfast is perfect and the location couldn't be any more convenient. Located just off the main road in Trim you are close to Newgrange, Trim Castle, Kells and Hill Tara. You will have everything you need here and the rooms are decorated with warmth and comfort in mind. Anne and Mark are able to reccomend local restaurants and directions to attractions. Mark is also an avid fisherman and knows the lakes and rivers all over Ireland. With him as your guide you are not going home empty handed. They are charming people with a lovely and comfortable place to stay. You will love it here and the next time I go back they are on my lists to stay with again! Rick Steve's did not lead me wrong on this one!
