Shepherd's Huts
Our cosy Shepherd's Huts sleep 2 people and are furnished with: a dinky, highly-efficient wood-fired stove, additional furnishings, electric plugs and lamps, crisp white linen and bath towels. Their interiors are beautifully crafted with a large, king size bed mounted at the end of the cabin. This is a cosy and romantic space perfect for two people or a couple sharing.
During the Glamping season the huts are located on the Glamping meadow overlooking Slane Castle and the River Boyne.
During the winter season (Nov-March) they are moved up to beside Le Shack and the Hot Tub and are only shared with Swallow's Nest, making them a peaceful retreat in the depths of the sleeping Boyne Valley countryside.

Pine Shepherd's Hut
Was a fantastic stay. The staff were extremely helpful and kind. The hut itself was very clean for us upon our arrival and everyday there was a fresh create of fire wood left for us to use in our stove. There’s also lovely walks around the campsite that can be done. The market itself on a Thursday is worth going to they offer lovely food to buy there. Was a great stay overall.
Apple Shepherd's Hut
My fiancé and I stayed in one of the Shepherd's Huts the week before Christmas. It was so warm and cozy even in the middle of winter! Particularly loved the wood-burning stove. Kitchen facilities on site are excellent and the hot tubs are a wonderful touch.
Pine Shepherd's Hut
I had such a restorative time in Pine at Rock Farm. The whole experience of quiet and calm with a lovely warm fire to wrap up beside. I had a big plans on catching up on some reading but I just chilled for the evening. Fab facilities and the hot tub is wonderful too. Enjoy!
