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.
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, there are dog exercise areas on site and plenty of space for canine roaming locally.
This modern style of lodge has light and spacious interiors and provides a high level of creature comforts, such as dishwashers, washing machines and a TV with DVD player. The Churchwood Lodge can sleep up to six and has one double room, one twin room and a double bed settee in the lounge. Bath or shower. Sliding patio doors enhance the views of the valley over the decking patio.
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 holiday cabin is nestled within the woodland. 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.

We just love Churchwood Valley, this is the third time we’ve been there and we can’t wait to go back. This is the place we recharge our batteries, the surrounding area is so peaceful. I would like to say thanks so much for all support by the staffs and for going above and beyond to make our stay special. Our cabin was so cozy, beds amazingly comfortable and the shower was just perfect, I wouldn't ask for anything else. Many thanks,Lisandra

We stayed at Churchwood Valley for a short break in October. I must admit that I was concerned we might be a bit cold but the lodge was lovely and warm and cosy. We were really surprised at the space and the lodge was very well equipped and beautifully clean. The little shop on site had all the basics that you might have forgotten to pack and the staff were friendly and polite. Loved the location, really good if you have a dog as it’s a short walk to cliff walks and the small bay. There are also some very good pubs near by. We went to the Mussell Inn and the staff in there were lovely and the food was great. If you have mobility problems ensure that you ring Churchwood for a chat before you book as we noticed many of the lodges had lots of steps and the overall site is quite hilly if you can’t walk far. We will definitely go back at some point as we had a wonderful time there despite the rain!

Really enjoyed our little holiday at churchwood valley. Beautiful area, the beach just a short walk. Staff that we encountered were lovely. We didn't want to leave! Accommodation was very suitable with three young kids. They enjoyed the local wildlife that paid us a visit, was absolutely wonderful. Will come again soon

DL6, chalet number 7. Church Walk. Delighted with the position, wonderful vista (and beautifully clean, massive windows to enjoy it!). Utterly peaceful. Despite being a busy site, noise doesn't carry. The cabins so well-landscaped that every one feels private & close to nature and the beach.Re-visiting after many years, we worried that the site may have modernised too much. But yay! Still charming, like stepping back into the 1950's!Suggestion: Simple white or single colour modern bedlinen, white plates, dishes, bowls (including pasta bowls!) and 6 white mugs. At least 1 good sharp knife for chopping (kept in the office until requested?).It's not really a cheap stay (yes, I know we pay for the location). But small inexpensive changes could create a premium feel in a simple space. No actual complaints tho. Will be back... Such a fabulous place !!

The table and furniture were rather sticky due to whatever they've treated it with which was quite annoying. We tried to do a puzzle but it all stuck on. The seal on the shower is gone, the vacuum was quite awful so the rug ended up being filthy and covered in the previous occupant's dog hairs. The location was good, very convenient and the staff were very helpful. The kids loved sitting outside with the birds visiting and we had a nice barbecue.
