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.

Peaceful and beautiful

Langley - 14/05/2026

After 24 years of returning to Churchwood I can only say that it is a haven for us. Being in nature, no clubs, no noise, it is perfect for getting away from everything. Yet still close to a lovely beach and great walks. Also close to Plymouth and many good pubs and eateries. Family run, Churchwood Valley staff have always been helpful and kind. There is a well stocked site shop also. The camp is in a valley so there may be mobility issues for some in certain cabins. All in all, a great retreat, a gem in a hidden place.They now have an outdoor sauna too.

Happiness.

Gardiner, Jean - 13/05/2026

Happiness is entering a spotlessly clean cabin and finding peace. The locating of the cabins in a wooded hillside was an excellent idea as one is surrounded with beauty and the sound of birdsong. My husband I first visited in 1961 and we have returned many times to this idyllic place. One cannot fault the friendliness of the staff and their desire to make the holiday perfect in every way. It is extremely good value for money. Ordering a welcome pack and towels helps a lot, it makes life easier. Our holiday was just lovely and we wouldn't change a thing!

A tranquil gem surrounded by nature

Skinner, Angie - 07/05/2026

What a super site. Although quite a few cabins, they are so well spaced out, that you hardly see other holidaymakers. A complete escape for everyday life, surrounded by nature. Our cabin was extremely clean and tidy, and very well equipped. We had friends visit for a meal one evening and everything needed was found in the cabin. Amazing Wi-Fi connection too !A lovely short walk to the local beach of Wembury, where the coastal path could be picked up. Approx a 25min drive into the centre of Plymouth.......a true gem !Every member of staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. We will definitely return as have an elderly friend that lives nearby who we like 'to keep an eye on'

Lovely, Relaxing, peaceful & nature stay!

Evans, Russell - 05/05/2026

Everything was good, Cabins had everything we wanted for a relaxing stay, but being a big guy, I found the shower enclosure a bit tight for size to be a bit picky & although we didnt actually do much cooking other than breakfast, we noticed the large hob ring didnt heat up properly but it didnt spoi our lovely week! Beautiful walks to local beach & good cafe. Other attractions & shops just 15 mins away by car has everything most folks need really, we had a wonderful stay !

Welcoming site

Thomas, Catherine - 04/05/2026

5

Friendly staff and a well looked after site. The cabin was clean and all the appliances had instructions for use. The venue is managed in an environmentally friendly way. It's easy to walk to the beach and there are plenty of country walks as well. The area needs careful driving but there is good access to the main Devon expressway for places further afield. Overall a lovely place to stay which is why we have been coming for many years.

Fabulous secluded cabin

Dickinson, Tina - 03/05/2026

Tricky initial accessibility but once we knew the area better it was fine. Fabulous secluded location with lovely birdsong. Close to SWCP ideal for us. A great little shop, could order pasties etc for next day delivery. Shop stocked most stuff you require for a good holiday.

So relaxing!

Bateman, Maggie - 02/05/2026

We have been coming to Churchwood Valley for over 50 years, and whilst the cabins are much updated it is still the same relaxing place it always was. Just a short walk to Wembury beach, and a right turn and another 10 minutes or so to Langdon Beach. If you want to go out just a short drive (admittedly down some single track roads to start) gets you to the outskirts of Plymouth, or the motorway. We stayed in 5 Old Path as I have just had two knee replacements done and didn't want steps to the cabin and as this has a levelish path from the car parking to the patio it was ideal. Patio is a sun trap as well which was nice - some others are shady because of the trees. Beds were comfy, but the settee could do with having a higher back, but it was better than the futons in some of the cabins (and its ok for a week!)
