Churchwood Valley Holiday Homes in South Hams, Devon

Welcome to Churchwood Valley Holiday Homes in South Hams, Devon. 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.

Friendly, Peaceful Stays — As Told By Our Guests

  Retreat in the woods

"I can't tell you how much of a nice time I had staying by myself in one the cabins, the site is absolutely gorgeous, peaceful and full of birds. My cabin had views across the valley through trees and I could even see the sea in the background which made an excellent spot to sit and create. Wembury beach is a short walk away from the site and has wonderful rock pools and a marine centre for information on the amazing reef just out to sea. The beach is on the South West Coast Path and means that you can walk from Plymouth along the not too challenging coast path, if you're able to pack light! The cabin and the local shop in Wembury had everything I needed that I couldn't carry for the weekend. The staff I met when I checked in were super friendly and helpful and I'm looking forward to going back, hopefully many times!"

  Another fabulous Christmas at Churchwood

"We spent another fabulous Christmas at Churchwood. The cabin we regularly stay in on Low Road is well equipped and warm and cosy. The staff especially the two Toms and Sam the receptionist are always really helpful and friendly. Every member of staff you meet are happy to chat to you. They also put a Christmas tree and presents in the cabin for you, a really nice touch. I wouldn't stay anywhere else! Wembury is a beautiful place with a great beach which our dog who is made welcome loves. The Old Mill Cafe is great for a coffee and a snack. We will be back in April"
