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!

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.
