Enjoyed our holiday at Churchwood Valley. The accommodation was of a high standard with all that you needed for a self catering holiday. With modern kitchen appliances, comfortable seating area and an excellent bathroom shower with good power and hot water. Just a short walk to the beach and south west coastal path. The only draw back was the very narrow lanes making driving reasonably difficult. Nevertheless we are considering a return to Churchwood. As we did enjoy our stay.

The best holiday.

Excellent cabins hidden away from it all, but close to a beach and the city's facilities. So peaceful apart from the owl, squirrels and jackdaws😏. Loved it and the staff are so helpful.

No need to try and sort out what mindfulness is, just spend time at Churchwood and you will feel refreshed, at peace and stress free. Walk through the woods to the sea, at night if you want, have a cream tea, sit on the beach, walk miles along the Coastal Path, sit and read. If you are shrewd, you will tell everyone the signal is poor, switch your phone off and only put it on when you feel like facing the world again. Take the ferry to Plymouth or Cornwall, walk to the pub for lunch or maybe dinner, go surfing, paddle boarding, swim, hunt in rock pools or finally do nothing, smell the sea, listen to the sound of the waves and chill. Give yourself time to loose the madness of modern life, slow down and just be.

We started visiting Churchwood Valley about 35 years ago with our young children.It has a place in our hearts so we still try to visit yearly, now with our fourth dog.The situation is perfect not only for the beach and countryside but also within easy distance of Plymouth with its wealth of Naval history and shops.There are also many National Trust properties to visit with the beautiful Saltram House and gardens being the closest to Wembury. The area is very dog friendly with the main beach off limits during the Summer months but further along the scenic coastal path, there are beaches accessible all year.The Mill Cafe is a ten minute walk away and having a coffee and a cake in this prime spot is one of our favourite things.There are many friendly pubs in the area but one of our favourites is ‘Rose and Crown’ in Yealmpton, a fifteen minute drive away.(very dog friendly) The cabins are well equipped and clean with Wi-Fi.There is a lovely little friendly shop too.Love it!

So wonderfully peaceful, cannot wake to return.

The overall experience of staying at Churchwood Valley was very positive. You had given us very good instructions as to location of the site, and fortunately we had a very good SatNav, Waive, in the car ( we got lost on subsequent occasions when the satnav failed) On arrival I was pleasantly surprised by the size and location of the cabin. Every detail and convenience had been thought of , and any shortcomings were dealt with very rapidly (new kettle withing 15mins of asking) . All the staff were charming and helpful. Having taken over a small caravan park in West Wales in the 1980`s (infalation +++) and knowing all the pitfalls of running a campsite I could see all the hard work and effort that has gone in to make us holiday makers very comfortable and happy .Everything much appreciated. The location of your woodland retreat was delightful and I loved hearing the dawn chorus and the owls hooting at night.

Everything went smoothly for our late March adventure. Booking was easy and all was well organised and welcoming on arrival. Our cabin was spotlessly clean and we had everything we needed. We were soon exploring the beach which us only a short walk away. The big wow though is the location and the tranquility of wooded valley next to the coast. We were serenaded by birdsong in fact the small cheeky bluetits settled unfazed on the window ledges of the lodge very often! We spotted voles, weasels during our stay and heard foxes and owls from twilight. The staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable for anything needed, but mostly allow you to enjoy this little slice of heaven without interruption. We enjoyed the Torpoint ferry, Mount Edgcumbe, Cawsand and Kingsand via a spectacular drive along Freathy cliffs (not to be missed) and spent time on Plymouth Hoe on the barbican only an easy drive away. Churchwood has been dog friendly for many years, an added bonus.

lovey setting, peaceful

This was our 2nd visit to Churchwood in 2023, we requested the same cabin, as the size and location are ideal for us as ex locals we already know the area well. Roads are narrow, but that’s Devon. The cabins are clean and warm, although they can smell a bit musty on arrival. We love the location, it’s wonderful to open the door and hear birds, and the rumble of the sea, Wembury beach is beautiful all year. Having visited out of season, we’ve not met any staff in person, but they accommodated our request for specific cabin. We always go into Plymouth, where there are so many local pubs, restaurants, cafes etc to chose from, Capn Jaspers is a particular favourite for our teenagers. We have also visited the Old Mill Cafe at Wembury Beach for pasties & ice creams. We’d recommend parking at Mountbatten and catching the ferry across to the Barbican, particularly if you’re visiting the aquarium, which we’d also recommend. (If you watched the recent BBC series, it’s a must visit.
