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.

Our 4th visit!…..comfortable accommodation with a 10 minute walk to the sea.

Parry-Jones - 19/07/2024

4

Lovely walk to Noss Mayo, short ferry ride and lunch at the Swan inn …… walk the other direction and lunch at Haybrook bay they are both lovely days out. The restaurant in Wembury itself is well worth a visit.A drive to Mountbatten point and ferry across to the Barbican is also a great day out, so much to do in the area, as well as a beautiful beach with a good coffee at the mill.The chalet was clean and well presented, needed a full length mirror, the bedroom in 1 church walk could do with a rethink, no bedside table, bed against the wall access via bottom of the bed, not ideal. Other units we have stayed in have the beds the other way round so easy access and room for bedside table/cabinet.

Everything I had hoped it would be

Malone, Pip - 16/07/2024

Stayed in an A2 cabin on High Road with a breathtaking view of the valley. Beach is only a short walk away (but steep hill so you will need to be fit if going on foot). Nature right on your doorstep, some rare birds and butterflies about if you stop and watch. If you did want a break from the beach trek there is still plenty to do and see. Pro tip is to go out and watch the stars.Cabin was adorable, a little small perhaps but came with everything we needed for a self catering trip; pots, pans, microwave, fridge with freezer, utensils, a sofa and TV. I found the bed to be very comfy and a decent size. The bath and shower facilities were totally fine and no different to what I have at home. It is a cabin in the woods, so be prepared for occasional spiders, moths and flies. The shop was surprisingly well stocked, they even had vegan and vegetarian food in the freezer. The staff were really friendly. All in all I would have expected to pay a lot more for a holiday of this quality.

Peaceful

Parnham, Katreena - 14/07/2024

We had a terrible journey down and were late arriving but having called ahead the staff were really helpful and had left our keys for us to access our cabin. The cabin was clean and bright with views across the wooded valley. The cabins are well spaced out and we were not overlooked there was a seating area with picnic bench that caught the morning sun which was a lovely spot to have breakfast. The bed was comfy. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Although we didn't use the site shop it did appear to be well stocked.It was lovely to be able to walk down to the beach.We will be returning and have already recommended the site to friends.

What a pleasant surprise!

Vass, Jonathan - 12/07/2024

I chose this accommodation option as its close to Plymouth Marina - we had a boat trip booked. However, we were presented with a very pleasant surprise! The units are nestled into the side of a hill and in perfect harmony with nature. It's a very short walk to the beach and a beautiful coastal path. If you're staying in the area I can highly recommend Churchwood Valley.

Churchwoodvalley is perfectly located for a stay on the South Devon coast. It's quiet and private. My cabin was vasic but clean and had all I needed for my short stay. There's lots to do in the immediate vicinity, and everything is accessible on foot. Friendly staff. Wembury beach and Narine Centre are fantastic. Really enjoyed our stay.

The most peaceful place in the world. Very friendly staff. Four hundred yards from a National Trust beach and cafe. Six pubs within 45 minutes' walk. Beautiful walks either way along the coast path. We've been twenty times.

Peaceful woodland atmosphere

Robinson, Karen - 07/07/2024

5

The site is wonderfully peaceful and has been laid out very thoughtfully so the cabins are well screened from each other giving you privacy. Our cabin for 2 was the perfect size and spotlessly clean. The beach and coast path were a pleasant 5 minute walk away. We thoroughly enjoyed our short break and look forward to returning soon.
