Churchwood Valley is a beautiful, natural wooded valley running down to the sea at Wembury Bay in South Devon, near Plymouth. Look closely and, hidden among the lush green foliage, you’ll see wooden cabins nestling on the hillside.

A haven of peace within an environmental paradise, Churchwood Valley is a few minutes’ walk from a safe family beach and the South West Coast Path.

If ‘getting away from it all’ is the most important part of your holiday – Churchwood Valley is for you. Each cabin has its own plot on the hillside, surrounded by trees, flowering shrubs, hedges and rustic fences. By moving no further than your armchair, you’ll see delightful displays of birdlife and a trip to your private patio may well afford a glimpse of badgers, foxes, squirrels and other wildlife.

There are no discos, bars, or cafes – just rock pools, wildlife, and breathtaking scenery. Secluded it may be, isolated it is not. Churchwood’s licensed shop sells a wide range of food and drink, beach toys, gifts, and many other products, so you don’t even need to leave the site for those ‘essential’ items. We also have a fully equipped launderette. If you feel the need for a more extensive shop, or have a taste for the bright lights, the city of Plymouth is just a 20 minute drive away.

Each holiday cabin has its own plot on the hillside, surrounded by trees, flowering shrubs, hedges and rustic fences. All our cabins have views across the valley, with some looking out over the water meadow or towards the sea.

There’s a car parking space near each cabin and private roads and paths give access to the beach, an unspoiled stretch of rock pools and shingle with sand at low tide. Adjoining National Trust land, the beach is no more than a 10-minute stroll away from any of the cabins.

Up to two well-behaved dogs are welcome in each cabin, for a small charge, and dog exercise areas are provided.

Churchwood Valley is home to over a hundred different species of bird including the rare Cirl Bunting, whose habitat includes a Site of Special Scientific Interest, part of which is on our land. Our beach is part of a voluntary marine conservation area and the Marine Centre just above the Old Mill Café provides an interpretation centre and a base for wardens who guide the frequent rockpool rambles in the summer months.

Over many years, many cabins and other buildings, have all been clad in chestnut, Monterey pine and elm – all grown, planked and seasoned at Churchwood. We also look to use low energy light bulbs wherever possible and phosphate-free cleaning agents to help protect the environment. Whenever we renew or replace buildings or equipment, we research what is available that is good for the environment.

We have won a Gold Conservation Award for no less than 24 years in a row from the David Bellamy Conservation Award Scheme. This represents one for every year the accolade has been awarded and we are very proud to be one of the few holiday parks to have achieved this.

Christmas at Churchwood

Pearce, Paula - 06/01/2026

We spent another fabulous Christmas at Churchwood. The cabin we regularly stay in on Low Road is well equipped and warm and cosy. The staff especially the two Toms and Sam the receptionist are always really helpful and friendly. Every member of staff you meet are happy to chat to you. They also put a Christmas tree and presents in the cabin for you, a really nice touch. I wouldn't stay anywhere else! Wembury is a beautiful place with a great beach which our dog who is made welcome loves. The Old Mill Cafe is great for a coffee and a snack. We will be back in April

Retreat in the woods

Wall, Katharine - 28/11/2025

I can't tell you how much of a nice time I had staying by myself in one the cabins, the site is absolutely gorgeous, peaceful and full of birds. My cabin had views across the valley through trees and I could even see the sea in the background which made an excellent spot to sit and create. Wembury beach is a short walk away from the site and has wonderful rock pools and a marine centre for information on the amazing reef just out to sea. The beach is on the South West Coast Path and means that you can walk from Plymouth along the not too challenging coast path, if you're able to pack light! The cabin and the local shop in Wembury had everything I needed that I couldn't carry for the weekend. The staff I met when I checked in were super friendly and helpful and I'm looking forward to going back, hopefully many times!

A basic but comfortable cabin, lovely and warm! We were on the low road with a beautiful view of the stream and wildlife. Nice enclosed outside area perfect for our dog. A slight toaster issue which was dealt with quickly. Would definitely come again! 😊

Myself and my rescue dog managed to escape the firework 3 weeks for a short time. Chloe the dog enjoyed the close beach, digging in the sand and playing with driftwood. She has along way to go with her confidence but this has helped hugely.Thank you for all your kindness and consideration.

Hellothank you for your lovely comments, and we are delighted that both you and Chloe enjoyed your stay. Do remember that if you decide to bring Chloe back again, whilst Wembury beach is closed to dogs during the main season, you will still be able to visit nearby Langdon Beach which is dog friendly all year round .Thanks once again for your great review.
