Hidden Valley Holiday Park, Wicklow, Ireland

Hidden Valley is a serene haven of relaxation. Set in a beautiful valley with sites overlooking the tranquil waters of the Avonmore River and a glassy, private lake, The park offers guests the opportunity to experience a holiday amid an abundance of wildlife including kingfishers, cranes, wild geese, ducks, otters and pheasant.

Hidden Valley Holiday Park attracts couples and families seeking a peaceful, family-fun holiday in picturesque surroundings. The park offers both hard-standing and grass sites, each with electric, water and grey waste. The park also has a fantastic choice of boutique glamping lodges for those looking for an outdoor getaway with all the views of camping but with all the comforts of home.

The Park was formed in 2005 and is owned and operated by The Williams family. In the first three years of operation, the owners upgraded the holiday park from a 2-star park into a 4-star Failte Ireland approved park offering modern facilities and great value for couples and families alike. As a family owned and operated business we take great pride in assuring our guests a fantastic and memorable holiday.

The park is located in Rathdrum (“Ringfort of the Ridge”), which was originally the main town of Co. Wicklow, and is still well serviced by both train and bus. The town is situated high on the western side of the beautiful Avonmore Valley and offers the tourist scenic views of the Avonmore River, which flows through the Vale of Clara. The Rathdrum railway station opened on July 18th, 1863.

Rathdrum is well known for the Avondale House and Forest Park, which was home to Charles Stewart Parnell – one of the greatest political leaders of modern Irish History. The grounds offer excellent forest/river walks and picnics.

Rathdrum was also well known for the Rathdrum International Cartoon Festival. The Cartoon Inn displays the work of Bill Eirner, Hunt Emereson, Ulrich Schroeder, Bob Foster, which are among some of the famous artists whose work can be seen at close quarter. The Cartoon Inn is famed far and wide for the rich and humour cartoons which adorn its welcoming walls.

Disappointed

Tovey, John - 28/09/2023

Washrooms freezing windows and doors open despite weather conditions. Site must with poor drainage around pitches. No rubbish bin in toilet block very inconvenient.

Pointers to improve

-4pm is far too late for people to check into their lodge. My family were booked into splash valley at 1pm finished same at 2.30pm arrived to check in to have a fresh shower and was informed check in is 4pm this should be reviewed. Check is should be latest 2-3pm.-€100 holding deposit is extortionate to expect people to pay!!! I stayed last Saturday 23rd September and to date 28th Sept money has not been released back into my account. So stay is €200 but you must have at least €300 to be available to hold for at least a week to release same. Poor practice.I would not recommend Hidden Valley for an overnight stay in Lodge- I would book into a hotel down the road with breakfast built into price and check in at appropriate time. Following on from review can you please release my 100euro holding fee from my stay.

Great facilities

Cabins were great only suggestion would be from the likes of ourselves.We went with a 4 month old so we brought a travel cot. There wasn't any space really to place this except the door for under the stairs.A suggestion could be installing drawers under the bed downstairs and removing most of the closet to fit the travel cot beside the bed?

Very clean and tidy

What a disappointment

The lodge was clean and very comfortable. There was no parking available outside the lodge as promised by management and the reception person was powerless to change this. At 9.30pm children from the site started banging on our kitchen window and this continued for an hour past curfew. I rang the phone line looking for assistance but nobody returned my call or responded to my request for security to alleviate the situation. One of the children who was with me is a very nervous child and she spent the entire night frightened.
