Had a beautiful day at Rock Farm for our wedding. The staffs relaxed, professional and accommodating nature made sure our day went perfectly smooth. Food was delicious, pig on spit, pizzas, fresh salad and potatoes. They allowed us to have our day our way. All our guests were blown away by the beauty of the site and quirky accommodation. The varied accommodation from houses, bell tents, yurts and 2 wagons meant there was suitable rooms for all our guests of different ages.

Very pleasant stay, very scenic, a bit wild. I liked common kitchen, wooden stove inside the yurt, there is a lot of space to seat. But it's hard to navigate through the farm, we didnt find path to river, additional signs would be helpful, especially for those who arrive for first time

Although it wasn't as comfortable as a hotel because there were shared kitchens, showers, and toilets, staying in a yurt was a special experience, and my children were satisfied.
I am dissatisfied with some details and would like to request improvements. The electric kettle in the kitchen is dirty, there are no instructions on how to open the gas cylinder, no hooks or shelves in the shower room, and insufficient paper to light the fireplace.
It is better to indicate important notices with short words or sentences in each place instead of sending a long instruction document. Usually, we didn't have enough time to read and understand all the instructions in the documents sent via email and could not remember them on the right occasions (for example, a place to wash dishes, switches for the shower room, kitchens, etc.).

My sister and I and our 3 boys stayed for one night as a mini break over Easter school holidays and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it
The weather was not in our favour but everyone still enjoyed it. Kitchen facilities are amazing, stove in the yurt was the highlight, led lights around inside of yurt was a big hit with kids, hot water bottles provided in yurt was a very pleasant surprise. Will definitely be returning this summer with more family for another stay

A beautiful weekend away. However.. a couple of recommendations: maybe some other method of storing food away in the kitchen as some other guests ate some of our food!! We woke up for breakfast and our full slice pan was gone when we had only eaten two slices! Signs should be displayed to say weather the hot tub is booked for the day as we had people trying to use the hot tub when we had booked it. Yurt was very cosy and homely. We enjoyed cooking using the pizza ovens and bbqs. Overall a brilliant weekend.

I booked this place to go to a wedding due to its "proximity" to the venue. Whilst Google maps told us it was 750m from the venue what we didn't realise was it was another 1.1km to the yurt along a pothole ridden, narrow track, not the best journey in the rain, regardless of wellies. The ensuing trip consisted of a not so scenic route of dilapated vehicles and mobile homes, rusting out housing and an overall feeling of tiredness and neglect. When we got to the yurt there was no key but in fairness they came up with it fairly quickly. I asked the guy a question about an electrical matter in the yurt and he said he was sorry but he hadn't a clue. The beds were damp and cold, there was only one electrical socket, albeit a dual one and there was a damp smell to the place. It looked shabby and poorly looked after. The lino on the floor was rippling and the front door was so ill fitting the kids couldn't open it. The walk from the car to the yurt was about 30 metres over grass, not gravel and again not ideal for a toing and froing to a wedding. The toilet block was perhaps 70m away as was the kitchen area. The latter was very clean but the former had really quite an unpleasant aroma, but then again it was a toilet area used by a number of guests... The urinals were not pleasant at all.
Whilst it was my own fault for choosing this place for the wrong reason (proximity and ease of walking) nothing on the website indicated a 3 day camel ride from the gate. This is despite the fact that during email correspondence I indicated this and was merely informed to bring torches as there was no light. A heads up would have been nice. In all, a very disappointing experience. I get it that it was more suitable for a "fun-filled" exploration of the wild, its smells and wellies and it may be that this suits that type of visitor but there also needs to be basic standards such as cleanliness and hygiene, care and attention and a modicum of upkeep. As I said earlier, my fault for choosing the site but a bit of clarity around location would have helped me in making that decision. I have stayed in other glamping areas which are much better designed, serviced and cared for. This seems to be exactly what it is, an add-on to a farm business, even though the weekly farmers market, cited on their literature, did not seem to take place and which we looked forward to. If it did, we must have driven past it! For what it is, I think it was overpriced and I can recall no other venue with such an extensive list of dos and don'ts. longer in fact to the wine lists in some restaurants.

Firstly I would like to thank you for your comprehensive review of your stay at Rock Farm. It is indeed in a secluded spot up an unpaved road, which is subject to potholes during wet weather like the month we had in July. We would prefer to keep it unpaved to reduce our ecological footprint, but we will be sure to add it to our preliminary guest communications as it can be off-putting for some. While July was an unprecendent month in terms of rainfall we were not aware of any issues with damp in the yurts. We can only fix issues if they are pointed out to us during guest stays, including any issues with the communal or accommodation facilities. I'm glad you found that the kitchen was at least to your satisfaction. As per your guest information, there is a mobile to call at any time during your stay and the reception is also open 9.30am to 5pm. Our Farmer's Market is currently closed, but we hope to have it open again soon.

Great Memories

we had a lovely stay in our Oak Yurk. This was our 2nd visit and even though it rained for the duration of out stay the kids enjoyed it and made friends.
The kitchen area does get busy at meal times with 3 families staying, would love to see the canopy extended or additional to allow families sit outside but remain dry in the Irish weather.
Missed the large hay pile under the canopy for our evenings of games with the kids. There was also no wheel barrows for our arrival to help with the load to the Yurt in the wet weather although we did spot these back the following day though too late.

Thank you for your comprehensive review of your stay at Rock Farm. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and thank you for the suggestions for improvements that you have made. We hope to have some of them in place on your return next time! If you are ever missing a wheelbarrow on arrival just give us a call as they do go astray. Many thanks!

We had a great night with 2 adults and 3 girls (6,4 and 2) . Check in and check out were so handy key's left in door. The site itself was brilliant so clean and had everything you needed. The stove in the yurt was used and kept us so warm all night. Pizza pack ordered was waiting in the fridge for us and was very tasty with plenty of toppings.

We had a lovely stay and will definitely be back. Things to note are that the Oak Yurt no longer over looks a field but a field with all the bell tents in it, so it can be noisy and there isn’t as much privacy. The kitchen and cooking facilities are great and such a range of equipment/utensils. We did the Pizza option on the first night and although there was instructions it wasn’t very easy and there wasn’t anyone to ask and it said there was pictures of how it was meant to be and there wasn’t. We had to cook it in the oven in the end. There could also do with more toilets, the Bell tent users, use the two toilets as well as the Yurt users and it was in consistent use. Some of the place felt it could do with a refresh but I imagine it was just a busy summer. On the all though the beds were comfy, it’s a stunning location and so central to various tourist attractions. We had a great time and would definitely come back.

We were here for 2 nights for a family wedding, the beautiful weather really added to the superb location to make a really memorable weekend. Lucio was really helpful and helped pull the whole thing off, the bar staff were also very friendly and the cleaning staff obviously do a very good job as the yurts were very well presented. An excellent venue and an even better weekend !

We had such a great time at rock farm slane. The oak yurt was spacious and the bed was SO comfortable I wanted to find out the brand of mattress! We stayed on site with a group of friends and all our children were so happy with the freedom to roam safely. They played in the natural pond and football at night on the grass. The simplicity of this holiday was wonderful. We’ve all already booked for next year

We really enjoyed our stay in the yurt in Rock farm, the yurt was cosy and comfortable and well stocked with wood and blankets. Showers lovely and warm, everything we needed available in the kitchen, it was really a luxury camping experience. Plus an abundance of local attractions to visit made it a great staycation destination.

We stayed as a group of 2 adults and 4 kids in the Oak yurt. It was clean and really comfortable. Looked better than the pics! We enjoyed the pizza pack which exceeded expectations, very tasty and really enjoyed the kayaking adventure. If we were to recommend improvements - suggest that the gate is opened twice daily to allow cars to drive closer just when arriving/ departing. Alternatively the wheelbarrows to carry luggage might be more available - we never found them! The electricity in the smaller kitchen (beside tents) kept tripping when the kettle was on, but staff were helpful at putting back on. Would have been a godsend if bottled water was sold in reception- we ended up driving out to get some. The tap water is purified but kids didn’t like the taste. Finally, a map with walking routes, local open cafes/ restaurants, route to slane castle would have been great.

It a beautiful, tranquil spot, walking distance from the horses cattle in the field - the meat packs from the farm are out of this world!
Book ahead if you fancy a hottub, pizza, breakfast or bbq food packs.
The yurts are very warm once you get the stove going.
The toilets get a bit of getting used to but once you do they're fine.

Rock Farm is beautiful and the glamping amenities are lovely. The yurt was spacious. Private, comfortable, warm (esp with stove and heater), safe (with automatic security light) and peaceful. It was wonderful waking up to the sound of rain on the yurt roof. The shared amenities were cleverly thought out and generous.

We had a fantastic Staycation. My daughter had a wonderful time. The staff left clear instructions on where everything was & information on how to use the same. The pizza pack was left in the fridge. The Oak Pod wad brilliant. We opened the door & was met with a super king size bed, two single beds, sofa & a fabulous stove. The room was clean with plenty of bed linen. The communal cooking, BBQ, pizza oven and eating area was well equipped & very clean. Everything was very well thought out. The toilets were clean. We availed of the outdoor pizza oven the first night and toasted marsh mellows the second. Our daughter had the best of time. We would highly recommend this for a weekend away for the family.

I brought my boyfriend here for 2 nights as a birthday present and my god it did not disappoint! Our yurt was amazing, so clean and cosy and warm. The bed was so comfy! The communal area was right across from our yurt and again was always clean and warm. Waking up to look out on the fields and fabulous views whilst drinking hot tea was just to die for. The staff here were all so polite and helpful. If you're staying here just get all the extras, you wont regret it... make your own pizzas and cook your own bbq!! I would also highly recommend renting the electric bikes to go exploring the area and of course go kayaking with Dave who is a fabulous instructor. Probably the nicest stay I've ever had!! If you're lucky you'll meet a few lovely dogs about the place and see lots of farm animals

What a fabulous place.. our kids didn’t want to leave... the yurt was beautiful and spacious for all 5 of us and really warm with the fire going... there is a wooden Hut at the top of the field which has everything you need to make food and loads of space to eat inside or out... carol was a lovely welcomer, and then left us to ourselves to get in with it. We love camping but weren’t able to fit in all our stuff on our ireland trip so we felt very lucky to come to rock farm. Would highly recommend if you want some nature peace and fun. We wanted to stay for a week!

The hot tub was a real treat!

Can honestly say that our trip to RockFarm was a great experience for the 2 young lads (5 & 3) and I. My Brother joined also so a real boys bonding trip.
We accompanied a colleague who has stayed there on a number of occasions and based on his continued recommendations, we decided to go this year.
It’s a superb place for glamping (we stayed in a yurt), very well appointed (Great shower facilities, Kitchen, BBQ, Pizza Oven), really safe and a great location overlooking the Infamous Slane Castle.
Also located to a “free range” pig farm, so the kids really enjoyed engaging with the pigs!!
We were lucky enough to sample some Slane whiskey with the owner Alex on the first night which was a real treat.
Can’t recommed the place highly enough....just keep it to yourself!!

Overall the yurts are fab, really clean and comfortable. The shack area is very small especially if a number of families are cooking. More supplies are needed e.g coffee pots, better quality cutlery, mugs, skewers for marshmallows!! The main negative for us was the toilets - they really need more attention and also the hot tub water seemed really murky! Would be great if it was on earlier in the day also. It’s expensive to stay here but a wonderful experience, especially for kids...

We're a family of four with a 4 year old and 3 year old, we went with our friends and their two young kids as well. We had a great time, had to bring some activities for them as they were too young to do anything provided at the site. Everyone had a ball, would definitely recommend it and go again.

We stayed in the Oak yurt for our friends wedding. It was incredible- talk about lush camping ! Massive and comfortable beds, Wood collected and stacked to use in our wood burning stove, even a wireless phone charging point! This was the closest Yurt to all the facilities so we felt like a royalty. The breakfast packs were massive and delicious ! Thank you so much for our wonderful break away we will definitely be back - and I know for sure that all the wedding guests had a fantastic weekend - esp the bride and groom !!

We booked a 2 night stay at rock farm but extended it to 3 as we enjoyed it so much! We live only about 8miles from Rock farm yet it felt like we were a thousand miles away! We went on the May bank holiday from Mon- Thurs and although there were a few people checked in every night we felt we were there alone. It is well positioned and located on an elevated site overlooking Slane castle and all accommodation is well spread out

We usually camp in Slane at Slane hostel, mainly for convenience so this was certainly a big upgrade!
A costly one in comparison- but this is most certainly glamping at it's best! The Yurts, showers, beds, bedding and towels provided are like hotel standard.
The woodburner in both the yurts/ Shepard huts and main kitchen / dining space make it beyond comfortable! I just loved the stove in the tent.
The outdoor hot tub, pizza oven and fire pit made for great evening entertainment. There is also a small man made pool area which our children loved!
The walk along the Boyne for an evening or morning stroll is lovely too. Slane castle is a 5 mins drive away where u can do tours, visit the distillery and wine, dine or sit and enjoy a coffee in the beautiful grounds.
The grounds of rock farm are extensive and as it's a working farm there are plenty of farm animals to see which most children will enjoy.
The Boyne valley area has lots to offer and great for local history, places to visit and guided tours.But as we are from the area we chose other activities which the children enjoyed. Check out Navan adventure for bit of outdoor fun or The Zone in Navan has an I door karting circuit, small bowling alley and indoor activities which can be enjoyed on wet days
There is also Celtic adventures who do kayaking on the river and that can be booked while on site.

Overall I rate rock farm 10/10
It is a hidden gem. I was sorry to have to leave today but look forward to a return visit.

Just to note when you book online there is suppose to be a discount of 10%( if you read the smaller print) However as it did not apply at booking , the management had no problems in dealing with the minor issue when I spoke to them.

Our weekend stay in Rock Farm exceeded all expectations. We had a large group booking and everything we could have needed to have a fantastic weekend was there for us. The cleanliness of the yurts, the shower rooms (nicer than most hotels) and the shared areas was second to none. The staff were so welcoming and couldn't have been more helpful! HIGHLY recommend a stay here!!

The kitchen and dining area is a great facility and we all loved the delicious pizzas cooked in the outdoor pizza oven. I loved the little things such as candles dotted around at night time making it very atmospheric. We will definitely be back for another visit.

We stayed in the Oak Yurt for one night as a family (2ad,2chd)
The yurt was huge & very clean. The ‘shack’ kitchen/communal area was also kept very clean & organised.
We walked along the river, saw the beautiful Slane castle & our kids loved the swing on the tree.
As a busy family normally, we loved every minute of our stay & really look forward to our return!

We stayed in Rock Farm for a hen party - 12 of us and I cannot recommend Glamping more. It was fantastic from start to finish. Everything was so well organised which took away all the stress of looking after a group of 12 girls. The facilities were amazing and the yurts were fantastic - so comfortable and cosy. I will 100% be back to rock farm. :)

This property is delightful! Lovely, relaxing grounds with fun accommodation options.

This was my second stay at Slane Rock Farm so it holds enough charm for me to return. My last trip was as a solo traveller but this time I decided to bring my wife as a birthday treat. I booked a Yurt, which was spacious enough to house a double and two single beds. The obligatory log burner was there too keeping the place toasty (3 hours after we lit it). We ordered some food at the time of booking meaning we had the ingredients to make up some pizza and there was a breakfast pack waiting for us. Unfortunately our pack didn't include 6 eggs as stated, I mentioned to a staff member who noted it but I can only assume due to other duties that they forgot that I had mentioned this so we never got the eggs that we had paid for. Another issue we encountered was the wood supply. Everything on site is powered by fire; the log burners, the pizza oven and the hot tub. When we arrived, there was enough wood to light the burner once and light the pizza oven on the first night. On the second and third day especially, the place was deserted and the wood piles were not stocked up. It meant having to scavenge around on the second night after we'd returned at 10pm after a day out, looking for wood to light up our stove. There were logs to be found but no kindling wood. Whilst walking around, the amount of rats was quite astonishing at that time of night. We'd spotted a few whilst relaxing in the hot tub the previous day, but in the late evening the place comes alive.

This place has a lot going for it, the accommodation is unique and varied. The communal cooking and dining facilities lead to guest interaction (whether you like it or not!) which we enjoyed. The cleaning facilities are great for a campsite and I really do like the location and tranquillity that the place provides. It's just those little details that seem to be lost in it all which is a pity as it really is a wee gem of a place.

We were first glamping and it was amazing. We really enjoyed our stay at oak yurt even though it was little bit cold during the night and we had to keep the fire up all night inside. But the hot tub was excellent as well as the cosmetics. We really enjoyed the evening. It was great we were alone in the resort. If the other yurts were full I would be wondering how would it work all together. We made great dinner and breakfast in the kitchen. The only negative review is about cleanliness. It could be much better. It was ok. But we expected something great for glamour camping! Inside the yurt in the bathroom and also in the kitchen... We didnt expect to wash the dishes after us and create the breakfast ourselves. For the price we expected much more value. If the yurt cost 100 EUR for us. It would be just awesome but for 200 EUR it was poor just because of the cleanliness. But in general we really enjoyed our stay and would come again in summer!

Hello Petr, Thanks for your review and the social media posts you shared during your stay. We are glad you all enjoyed yourselves. I'm sorry if it wasn't clear to you that the breakfast packs were self-catering we will look over our booking info to make sure that it is clear to all. Glamping is a self-catering experience where people use communal facilities and that is what is advertised on our website. So guests will need to clean and wash up after themselves. Maybe you were looking for a bed and breakfast offering, which we can provide to groups staying in the Lime House. We are not aware of any issues with the cleanliness of Oak and the other facilities. You did not mention anything during your stay or on checkout and both management and housekeeping checked the facilities and your yurt before and during your stay. If we are not made aware of any issues during your stay we cannot remedy the situation. You mention a total cost that includes food and other purchases, not just accommodation. Our breakfast packs include fresh organic produce and maybe out of some people's price range, but it is well priced for the content. Also we are not able to offer any special deals on one night stays and only offer them on a case by case basis. Our best deals are based on a 2 night stay. Given all the amenities and the extra work and resources that goes into making our guests as comfortable as possible, we feel we are well priced. We hope that you will come back in the Summer and look forward to seeing you again soon.

A wonderful romantic adventure

My partner and I just spent the weekend at Rock Farm. We stayed in the Oak Yurt. The whole experience was amazing and different from the very start. The yurt was very comfortable and it was lovely to wake up to the sound of the birds singing. The outdoor hot tub was a highlight for us. Very tranquil.The food was delicious..the Irish breakfast, the pizzas and the BBQ. We did kayaking on the Saturday morning. It did not disappoint. It was a great experience, a lot of fun and our instructor was wonderful. We did tree climbing the second morning. This was also a great experience...even for someone like me who is not great with heights the instructor was very supportive with reaching whatever goal you felt comfortable with which made it a very enjoyable. The river walk along the farm is also very beautiful. We would 100% recommended glamping at rock farm to couples, families and groups. We will definitely be back!

We arrived at this glampsite after a cycling trip, thus to relax and enjoy the Irish countryside and Royal County Meath. On arrival we were welcomed by the staff and felt they would take care of an inspiring time at the ecological farm.
We got an introduction to the farm, our luxurious yurt and all of the fireplace facilities. We counted six of them: a stove in the yurt, stove on the central kitchen facilities, barbecue, pizza oven, fireplace and – let’s not forget this one – hot tub. Together with our kids we used them extensively and enjoyed ourselves glamping. Furthermore the food packages were overwhelming; the ecological vegetables and meat tasted great.

Thoroughly enjoyed first glamping experience. Super comfy beds. Staff most helpful. Spent entire days outdoors with plenty to see and do in local area. Tree climbing on-site was highlight for us!

Rock Farm is situated on a beautiful spot overlooking Slane Castle. Our yurt was so pretty and we loved our stay. The kids had great fun playing in the grounds and relaxing in the hot tub afterwards. The showers were clean and nice to use and the kitchen large and well equipped. My only issue was with the composting loos, that wasn't really for us and my wife dreaded going to the toilet.

We were a group of hens, just 5 of us and we were all amazed that this gem of a place existed. The staff were so helpful from start when booking to finish upon leaving. The place is beautiful, we stayed in a yurt and it was so comfortable and warm! I would highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone. It's a little slice of paradise!!

Just back from a wonderful few days at Rock Farm and I cannot recommend it enough! The staff were super helpful and friendly from the moment we arrived right up until even after we left.

We stayed in the Oak yurt and it was amazing, the bed was so comfortable
and with a roaring fire inside its really cosy at night.

Everything about Rock Farm is fantastic, the yurts, scenery, amenities (great shower!) and the friendly owners and staff. We will definitely be returning in the future and I would highly recommend a trip here to others.

Thank you for a wonderful long weekend x

Wonderful setting, wonderful welcome. Fantastic Hot tub under the stars. Breakfast packs of local organic produce. The yurt was fab, heated by the stove and lit by candle light. The pheasant calls throughout the night added to the sense of being at one with nature. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

Thank you for your lovely review Mick. We're glad you enjoyed the hot tub, that's one benefit of the leaves falling from the trees around the hot tub is that there are more stars to see. Kind Regards Rock Farm Team

Overall
A pleasant relaxing experience, in a quiet setting. This is a good standard glamping site with good facilities and a relaxed atmosphere. While we were there it did get damp at night so be prepared. It is set in very nice grounds with pheasants roaming the area and a large tract of farm land to walk through.

Booking
Originally when we were purchasing a gift voucher for 2 nights we were told the estimated price, however when we went to make a booking the estimated price was significantly (50%) lower than the normal price of the accommodation. We eventually managed to find one time, (very low season mid week), which matched the estimated price.

Arrival
We were surprised to find a closed electric gate upon entrance to the site, however there were friendly staff on hand who immediately guided us through and up to reception.

Check In
Check was smooth and efficient and worked well.

Accommodation
The curtsy were large and the beds comfortable with good quality bedding and sheets. I feel the space would have been better served with less furniture and wood flooring. . I felt that the yurts could have done with a second layer of cover, (as I have seen in some other glamping locations), especially since the area at this time of year (End of Sept) is particularly damp.
The picnic table and decking worked well to enable a lovely back drop for eating meals.

Facilities
The standard of the facilities was very good and clean. The toilets and showers were maintained very well and I noticed at least 2 cleaners and 2 handymen around the site during our stay.
There is a hot tub on site, but I didn't use this and thus cannot comment on it.

Kitchen and communal area
The kitchen was well equipped, though the pots and pans could do with refreshing. The communal area was large, bright and homely with an indoor and outdoor section. The outdoor section had a barbecue and pizza oven nether of which I used so I won't comment on.

Food
We did buy a breakfast pack, which was good value for money since the quality of the meats was very very high and the selection of cereals and condiments was very good.

Check out
Check out went smooth with no issues.

We took our 2 children here ages 4.5 and 3 for a 2 night stay, we all had a brilliant time, the whole setup is brilliant for parents of young children, we were able to give the kids all the freedom they wanted without having to constantly be by their side, they are still asking daily when are we going glamping again!! Definitely a great family experience and we would take this holiday over a hotel break anytime, so peaceful and so many fun memories that will last a lifetime. Highly recommend.

This proved to be an excellent location for brining a family aged between 2 and seventy something together from Scotland, England and Ireland. The accommodation was perfect for all ages. The two youngest 2 and 4 had plenty of freedom in sight of the older family members spread over the site. The only concern were the lack of information on where to dispose of food waste.

High quality comfortable accommodation in relaxing setting. We were there as a couple and had a great time. Friendly and relaxing. Helpful staff and certainly camping in luxury in a yurt. Only been open two years and wish them well as they develop Eco-friendly camping, hopefully maintaining the relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

We stayed at Rock farm for my best friends hen party. I (nor anyone else on the hen) had been glamping before. I have to say, our expectations were completely and utterly surpassed. Clean place, amazing/ friendly staff, very relaxed and a good time was had by all. I came away feeling that I would absolutely go again, for a hen party or a quiet family holiday. Rock Farm Slane has amenities for all.

Thanks again to Carina and all :)

We hired 2 yurts and a shepherds hut as birthday present for my mum and we had a completely fantastic stay. Facilities,setting, attention to detail all perfect. The hot tub at 10 pm will go down in our family as a memorable highlight. Rock Farm Slane is the ideal getaway for families of all generations. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

We got a great deal on our stay. Myself, the wife and our 3 kids aged 7, 2 and 3 month old stayed in the Oak Yurt hut. Kids had a great time just running around and playing in the outdoors. We would definitely stay again here. Staff were very nice and breakfast was lovely.
We cant wait to stay here again.

Our first glamping trip and it certainly won't be our last. It was a very enjoyable and relaxing experience, set in beautiful surroundings and managed by very helpful and accommodating staff. The yurt was very comfortable and luxurious! The campsite is well laid out and adds to a very relaxed atmosphere. Already looking forward to our next visit!

We were looking for a place away from the city, surrounded by nature and still able to enjoy some comfort. Rock Farm exceeded our expectations. We made great walks by the river, cook camp food and relax in the yurt which included high end items such as the firewood stove, beds, blankets, towels, etc. Common areas are really well kept with many useful items such as kettle, fridge, utensils. Besides, if you have kids, they will be fascinated with the animals (pigs, cows, horses, hens). Most important is the warming atmosphere that the owner and her team create to fully get the experience. Thank you and looking forward to be there again :)

Great experience - we only stayed one night as we had 2 younger babies with us. The 6 and 8 year olds absolutely loved the whole experience. Yurts are very comfortable and the shack has excellent facilities. We used the wood fired pizza oven which worked out really well. Nothing I could fault this place on. It would be handy to have a playground for younger kids otherwise everything was great.

We stayed at Rock Farm for three nights recently in the Oak Yurt and it was really lovely.

A young couple, we found it was a great and cosy place for us to spend a few days. The bedding (including a goose or duck down duvet) was fantastic and there were lots of pretty blankets and cushions and candles, As night fell, we lit the stove to set the atmosphere and keep us toast -, the ritual of collecting the wood and taking turns to get the fire going was an unanticipated source of fun.

The facilities are excellent, the surrounds are picturesque and peaceful.
Although there were a few families staying at the same time, it felt more like we had the run of the place to ourselves - only occasionally bumping into other guests who were always full of smiles and a kind word.

We arrived by bus (which took just 30-40 minutes from Dublin) which is apparently untypical for guests. The town is walkable in 25-30 minutes. Conynghamarms restaurant (and bar) do very nice food at a reasonable price. We also took in a tour of Slane Castle which was really interesting and great value.

Nicola and all the staff were very helpful and friendly.
It's really is a great place to unwind and I highly recommend it to you.

This was our first family camping experience and was fantastic. The yurts were beautifully presented, clean and comfortable. The wood burning stove was an added bonus although we were so warm at night there was no need to use it. We loved our firepit and used that both nights for making s'mores and the smoke helped with the bugs. The kitchen and showers were spotless and the toilets were fun once we got the hang of them! Overall, it was a wonderful experience that we want to make an annual family trip.

Wow, what a great place! We arrived to a really warm welcome from Jo and Carina who showed us around the site and to our Yurt. The Yurt was so beautiful. Proper beds with fresh white cotton sheets. Lots of space, lovely furniture and a great woodburning stove. Cute fairy lights add to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. It was so nice, my children were looking forward to bedtime!!!
We normally go to hotels for our family breaks but decided to try something different and that is why we booked into a Yurt in Rockfarm. What a great decision. Our kids are 5 and 3 and they loved every minute of it! Lots of fresh air and adventures for them and they never missed the tv! Such a nice change. We truly had a relaxing break and also got to spend really nice quality time with our children.
The whole site is really clean and everything is in perfect working order. The 'shack' is a lovely area and was a real meeting point to get to know our other campers and allowed the children meet some other children. Rory (Carina’s young son) in particular was a big hit! On the first evening we enjoyed sitting outside on the deck, having a glass of wine while watching the children playing happily together. We also made delicious pizza that night using the homemade pizza pack provided by Carina and with Alex's help with the pizza oven.
The next day we joined Carina and Jo and some other guest on a cycling tour (great electric bikes) of the local organic farms and got to taste all the local produce at a great lunch. It was so interesting to meet all the producers and taste their produce. We brought the kids too and they were all so accommodating, giving them special bikes/babyseats, homemade icecream and they got to meet the recently born goats. It really was a great family day out.
Lots of other things to do in the area. We did a tour of Slane castle which was fascinating and well worth going to see. We also visited Newgrange which is nearby.
We didn’t want to leave and will definitely be returning before the end of the summer for another visit. Thanks to Carina, Alex, Jo, Rory and all at Rockfarm. See you again soon!
