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.

Peace and tranquility

We have been coming to Churchwood for years.It's a place where my family and I truly get away from it all, reset and recharge ourselves.We stayed in a pine lodge which was very comfortable, the sofas were excellent, and everything was spotless. The only thing I would add is that a smart TV would be a much appreciated upgrade.

exceeding all expectations

Grimble, Anne - 01/11/2024

I had been wanting to stay with you for ages, and the opportunity arose this October. The log cabin was perfect, with comfortable beds, superb heating and hot water when needed, and very well equipped with everything we would need for a peaceful holiday break. We enjoyed the bell ringing practice wafting through the sweet chestnut trees on Wednesday evening, and the sound of the owls on the other nights. The weather was perfect, so that we could explore the coast path in both directions, and then come back for a lunch at the beach cafe. We took home from the Churchwood valley shop some of their honey from the hives on the site. Such low airmiles! My husband has poor mobility, but still could manage the paths and steps and the walk to the beach. It is a holiday where you don't need the car.

Lovely stay in a wonderful surrounding

Pausch, Renee - 25/10/2024

We were warmly welcomed with all necessary information.The cabin is accessible by car but the road is quite narrow. Each cabin has a private parking. You have everything you need in the cabin- but remember it's only a cabin no luxourious appartment. We loved the view and the „ nature sounds“. The beach is only a few minutes away, so is the costal footpath. You can watch surfer, see Dartmoorponies, and quite some animals in the wood that surrounds the cabin. The café in the old mill is lovely, the coffee good. There are many things you can do… Plymouth, Dartmoor, Exeter are not that far away. The people were very friendly. We loved our holidays in Churchwood Valley and would recommend!

I have stayed at Churchwood Valley a couple of times now and enjoy every moment in the fully equiped cabin and tranquil surroundings. Its proximity to the beach and coastal paths is great. A perfect winter break too! The staf are very friendly and welcoming and very quick to respond to any queries. I look forward to my next stay here.

Perfect place to relax

Bateman, Maggie - 21/10/2024

We have been coming to Churchwood since we were married, and my husband as a child - so over 60 years for him and 45 for me! It is a lovely place just to chill, relax and recharge, but close to Devons attractions if you want to go out. The only thing that lets the cabin we stayed in down was the futon seating which is badly worn and uncomfortable to sit in. This was a A4 cabin so it possibly would have been needed, but now it is an A2 it would be nice to have a proper settee or couple of comfy chairs!

Excellent accomodation with modern facilities and comfortable beds. Some shrub pruning to the south aspect would make a better feel in the cabin.
