We had an amazing stay, clean and cosy cottage and perfect for children with a little park and plenty of space for them to play. Staff were so helpful and friendly, which made the stay that more comfortable. Would recommend to anyone looking for a lovely staycation spot with all amenities within 5min drive, lovely little fairy walks close by with Tayto Park and other fun activities easy to get too from this spot. We actually booked for 4 nights but chose to stay on for an extra 3 which was extended by the lovely couple who run the hostel/cottages. We were lucky that the availability was there. Overall amazing getaway, comfortable and safe surroundings, and we will 100% be coming back for the perfect little holiday. Thanks to all at Slane Farm hostel/cottages.

We had an amazing stay at Slane farm cottages. The venue itself was so picturesque and the cottages so clean and comfortable. The staff could not have been any more accommodating answering questions before we arrived, allowing early check in, helping us organise transport! So friendly and helpful. Thank you and will definitely be back :)

Lovely campsite, good amenity. Will have giving it 5 stars but unfortunately had a family of campers from the North who started setting up their tents late on Friday evening at around 10pm, and their kids were so loud especially two of the girls who must have been around 9 - 12. We had to ask the parents many time to keep it quiet but to no available. The mother was as loud as her kids, no respect for fellow campers.

Stayed when attending a wedding on New Year’s Eve in tankardstown house. The girl who met us was friendly and pleasant but that’s the only thing good about the place. Was very disappointed with self catering accommodation. Arrived home from wedding to find no kettle. Bedclothes were so old they needed thrown out. Valence sheets not ironed. Dirt and dust on skirting boards on the lamp shades. Stains on lamp shades. Carpet stained. Cups stained and cutlery looked grubby. Furniture was so old I really don’t know where you would find it. Really needs cleaned and updated. Definitely would not recommend.

Stayed on the campsite. The location of this site is great for touring the Boyne valley and all it has to offer. We really only used it as a base. There is a campers kitchen, a small playground, and some animals that kids can meet. Within 20 to 30 minutes drive we visited, Drogheda, Battle of the Boyne Centre, NewGrange and Knowth, the Irish Military War Museum, Slane Castle, Slane Hill. The toilet and shower block are very rustic / basic. Bring your own soap, towel and handsanitiser.

Beautiful campsite at Slane Farm Hostel Cottages and Campsite , This was our first time camping with our children (aged 6 and 7), so we wanted somewhere safe and enjoyable for their first experience, They loved it. There is a Kitchen with all the amenities, showers and toilets, some cute and friendly animals, and a small playground and loads of space to run around and play :) there is also a hostel if you're not into camping which looks just as beautiful as you arrive in the front gates. This is the perfect place if you want somewhere peaceful and affordable. The only tiny critique I would give, is that while the playground is just fine, it could do with a little revamp. Would definitely come back again.

We stayed as a group of friends (with 4 families) in the hostel. It was a wonderful option at a time when other options, particularly for groups, were limited. Kitchen / dining areas are really good general facilities excellent. We had a barbecue, collected eggs from hens in the mornings, enjoyed the views over a beer in the evenings and generally enjoyed a collective home from home. It worked so well for both adults and kids. We visited local beaches, Slane castle, the Irish war museum in Collon, and the wonderful Tankardstown, and we will be returning in August if available. A fantastic option for larger groups of families and friends to bring a smile when it’s most needed in 2020. Gemma is fantastic, made all logistics easy, and was very helpful at all times. Superb.

We were looking for somewhere for a few families to stay near Slane and we struck gold with Slane Farm Hostel. Gemma could not have been more welcoming on the phone and in person. The place was very well presented and is a 5min walk to Slane Castle. The facilities offered everything we needed and we were even encouraged to get free eggs straight from the Hens in the garden for breakfast. This location was perfect for us with 7 children in 4 families to enjoy. It felt safe and clean. A perfect base to holiday from!

Awesome; great place to stay!! The cottage was clean and roomy! I was actually very surprised at how spacious it is. There’s no breakfast but you have your kitchen! Gemma is lovely. I highly recommend and will be staying again with friends.
