Garden Lodge was the ideal place to sit out last week's heatwave ! It was shady and cool and only a ten minute walk to Wembury beach through woods.This was an anniversary visit to Churchwood Valley as I first came here with my parents in 1966 and we often came here in the 1980s, when our two sons were little - the accommodation has improved since those early days, as the outside toilets and bunk beds have been replaced by more comfortable amenities, but the essential appeal of staying in a wooded valley surrounded by nature and wildlife has remained the same.

Loved it we came to Wembury to visit close friends as we lived in Wembury for a few years and Churchwood is a lovely place to stay. Our two friendly Robins will miss our tit bits.

Such a wonderful place - staying in a wooded valley, hearing the birds, walking to the beach, enjoying the sea views from the cliff path, eating at local pubs and beach cafe, relaxing in the well equipped cabin.

Access to the site on our arrival day was challenging due to local road closures. Access to our allocated cabin was straightforward using the map provided and signs. Staff friendly and helpful. Cabin very clean and tidy with sufficient equipment for four. Safety addressed. However, we found the “shower cubicle” very restricting, small and difficult to use. It was not the walk in type of shower shown in the advertised picture (an important reason to choose this type of cabin). It was a short , half size bath with a low seat taking half of the space. On arrival there was no internet due to a fault requiring a part (also affecting another cabin). No internet throughout our stay, but available in the road outside and the Information Room. (Different cabin offered). The whole site is delightful in the peaceful woodland setting with a fairly easy walk to the beach - but uphill on return! Stables carpark available - helpful. Bought our food needs at Tesco Lee Mill enroute. Value? Reasonable

The whole family, all nine of us (ranging from toddler to mid-sixties) plus a dog descended on Churchwood at different times on our arrival date. Not a problem and all was hitch free. We took three lodges on the Lower Road overlooking the valley and it’s difficult to convey in a short review, the serenity and relaxed charm that the park very quickly exudes. Ten minutes from the beach, fifteen from the pub, right on the SouthEast Coastal path, it is ideally situated!So why only ‘good’? Well, nit-picking, a small playground for young children and perhaps a little more for young adults to do might just make the difference, but we did not miss such facilities and had a great time. A big shout for the sauna and plunge pool facilities, these were very popular!Will most certainly return!

Airy spacious lodge, plenty of room for 6 people. Ideal location for long walks along the coast path, or day trips to many of Devon's attractions. We had a wonderful time and will be back next year.

We enjoyed our stay at Churchwood with our family. Being able to have 2 cabins one above the other, yet apart from others and private, was really good.The Cabins were clean and fresh and we loved the ease at which we could access the lovely beach.The holiday was excellent value for money and everything we we required was available.We would suggest some new crockery for the Cabins as we mixed and matched between the two to get enough glasses and mugs for drinks.We love the area around, and despite the weather, went to various places.Thanks

This is our 6th year and we love to come here for our week of peace and tranquillity. The dog also enjoys it!

Loved my stay here. I was walking the coastal path and it was very close to the path. Minimum 2 night stay was fine as it was close to bus service so possible to loop back.Loved the cabin, it was so cosy and peaceful, surrounded by trees, and I had my own little space to sit out.The staff were more than kind. I was using luggage transfer and they put my bag in the cabin and insisted on picking it up for me as well, which I really appreciated.The shop was handy given I had no transport to buy food. It would have been nice to have some more fresh stuff, like fruit, but I understand that they probably don't have the turnover in the shop to allow for that.

Very relaxing dog friendly stay. Waking to the dawn chorus every morning is a real treat. Wembury beach us lovely, but no dogs permitted on beach from May to September, but a short walk down the coast gives access to plenty of coves where dogs can swim with you. Only downside is very poor water pressure in the shower.
