Rock Farm, Slane
Relax and recharge on a luxury glamping break at the 90 acre secluded organic Rock Farm Slane which is part of Slane Castle Estate and directly across the river from Slane Castle. Mature woodland overlooks the glamping - luxury yurts, shepherds huts and bell tents with communal living area, kitchen, clay pizza oven, fire pit and lots of space.

Self-catering houses include Lime House, Ireland’s biggest straw-bale house, which sleeps 22 people and is popular with groups of friends and for family reunions. An outdoor wooden hot tub and natural swimming pool are just two of the added extras which make Rock Farm a very special destination.
- Shepherds Huts and the self-catering properties are open all year round.
- Yurts reopen for booking on Wednesday 20th March and the Bell Tent Village opens for the summer at the beginning of May.
GUIDED FARM TOURS
Guided tours of Rock Farm are a fascinating insight into this pioneering 90-acre organic farm and ecotourism destination on the historic Slane Castle Estate. Visitors learn about the life of an organic farmer and artisan producer while they walk through the farm that is home to rare breed animals like Dexter cows and Tamworth pigs as well as the happy flock of chickens who provide free range eggs. They tour the organic market garden which produces bumper crops of veg and see fields filled with the barley used for the whiskey made at Slane Distillery. It’s an opportunity to learn about eco-tourism, glamping and strawbale buildings. Regular Farm Tours will recommence later in the year and are bookable through the website. Private Farm Tours for groups of six people or more can be organised at any time of year by emailing info@rockfarmslane.ie.
