Churchwood Valley is a haven of peace in an environmental paradise. Set in a beautiful wooded valley, a short stroll from Wembury Beach and the South West Coastal Path, we have 56 comfortable timber cabins, each with its own secluded patio. Wildlife abounds and the walks are stunning. We pride ourselves on our commitment to preserving the natural environment, which David Bellamy has recognised by awarding us a gold Conservation award 23 times in a row.
All cabins are well-equipped with modern appliances including microwaves in all, and washing machines and dishwashers in larger ones. All cabins have TVs with DVD players. Central heating is installed and electricity is included in the hire charge. Barbecues are available on request. Pets welcome; maximum 2 dogs per cabin.
Nearby Wembury Beach is within a marine conservation area and in summer months wardens lead rockpool rambles along the foreshore. The beach is popular with surfers while adjoining headlands and beaches provide a strong attraction for anglers. We have a riding stables and Forest school available on the park while in nearby Plymouth and the Mount Batten Centre there are opportunities for many kinds of water sports. Within a short drive there are hosts of places to visit from picturesque coastal towns, historic buildings and gardens to Dartmoor and visitor attractions. And the Eden Project is about an hour’s drive away.
Comfortable timber chalets set in a wooded valley leading down to the sea. A peaceful, hidden oasis where we have wildlife, not nightlife. Our self-catering holiday lets offer a relaxing rural retreat, just moments from Wembury Bay and the South West Coast Path. Each timber-clad cabin enjoys its own wildlife-rich plot, ideal for nature spotting. We live in harmony with nature, while providing all the comforts of home. For 24 years in a row, we were awarded the David Bellamy Gold Conservation Award. We achieved this by conserving, preserving, and protecting, helping to promote Wembury and the surrounding coastline which has been a designated Marine Conservation Area since 1981 and is recognised worldwide for its first-class wildlife. We now sign up to the David Bellamy Blooming Marvellous Pledge for Nature through which we commit to creating and improving habitats, managing spaces in environmentally friendly ways and increasing engagement with guests and outside organisations. We value wildlife, not nightlife.
Leave the A38 at Marsh Mills roundabout and follow signs to Plymouth City Centre A374. Follow A374 signposted City Centre/Kingsbridge – a dual carriageway running along the side of the River Plym. Look out for the RAILWAY BRIDGE above the road, then filter LEFT onto the A379 KINGSBRIDGE/PLYMSTOCK road to cross the river and continue on the dual carriageway A379 heading East. (NB not all Sat Navs have been updated since the completion of recent major road works, so we advise you to follow the instructions above). At the 4th roundabout by the Elburton Inn (see map), turn RIGHT. If travelling West from Totnes or Modbury on the A379, at the 1st roundabout, turn LEFT at the Elburton Inn. Go through Elburton village and turn LEFT at the traffic lights into Reservoir Road. Continue on Reservoir Road until you see the Asda Garage and Supermarket. Immediately before Asda, TURN RIGHT. Don’t drive straight on or follow the Wembury sign! At the next T junction, with the Staddy Pub on your left, turn LEFT onto Staddiscombe Road. After just over a mile of narrow country lanes, you come to a 90° LEFT-HAND BEND. Slow down for the bend! Then take the LEFT-HAND FORK on the next bend (where you will see a small Churchwood Valley sign), keep on the lane past the imposing stone gateposts, leaving them on the left, until you see a large CHURCHWOOD VALLEY sign directing you to turn sharp LEFT. Our main entrance is 180 metres along this lane on your RIGHT.
