About Slemish Barn
We are located between the award winning floral village of Broughshane and the picturesque fishing village of Carnlough in an area know as The Braid, Gateway to the Glens. Slemish mountain is close by where St Patrick is reputed to have lived. We are also nearby the market town of Ballymena where there are good transport links to the rest of the province.
We are a contemporary, budget accommodation facility that can cater for numerous types of functions, parties, small weddings, conferences and groups. Based in the shadow of Slemish mountain.
We are looking to promote the local culture of Co. Antrim and beyond through our connections with the County Antrim and Derry Country Fiddlers Association (CADCFA) which is by some measure the largest traditional fiddling school in Ireland, and by exhibiting local arts and crafts within our premises.
Slemish Barn features 4 Private Rooms and 2 Dorms along with free WiFi and a terrace. We also offer pet-friendly accommodation in The Sheddings. Free private parking is available on site.
Slemish Barn Functions
Whatever the occasion, Slemish Barn can cater for groups of up to 40 people between our downstairs common room and upstairs function/ meeting room. As we are also a Hostel, accommodation can be provided based on availability.
We have two outside patios, with a beautiful backdrop of Slemish Mountain, that would provide an excellent space for outdoor parties/ family celebrations/ weddings and breathtaking photograph opportunities.
Pricing for our function facilities are per person and depend on the total number of people in your party and catering options. If catering is required, we have links with outside catering services whose menus are available on request.
Our Renewable Energy
We are promoting environmentally friendly living, through our investment in sustainable energy systems. The barn itself is ran on renewable energy as well as internally being made up of recycled materials.
We also have a strong sustainable theme with significant green energy systems and the building has been built and furnished with reclaimed and second-hand materials where possible.
Slemish Barn has invested in renewable energy systems with space heating and hot water provided by a 45 kW biomass boiler, a 90 tube thermal solar panel array and a solid fuel stove. There is also a mechanical heat recovery system.
