Churchwood Valley Holiday Cabins - dog-friendly woodland self-catering cabins near Wembury Beach, South Devon
Churchwood Valley Holiday Cabins offers a peaceful woodland retreat in a beautiful, secluded valley leading down to Wembury Bay, near Plymouth in South Devon. Surrounded by lush greenery, mature trees and abundant wildlife, this charming holiday park provides comfortable self-catering accommodation for couples, families and nature lovers seeking a relaxing escape.
Each timber-clad holiday cabin occupies its own private hillside plot, surrounded by flowering shrubs, hedges and natural woodland, with beautiful views across the valley. Some cabins also enjoy views towards the sea or overlooking the peaceful water meadow, creating a wonderful setting for a tranquil coastal holiday.
The individually positioned cabins provide a comfortable home-from-home experience, with fully equipped kitchens, bathrooms, flat-screen televisions and private outdoor patios where guests can relax and enjoy the surrounding scenery. Parking is available close to each cabin, while the peaceful woodland setting offers excellent opportunities for spotting local wildlife, including squirrels, foxes, badgers and numerous bird species.
Up to two well-behaved dogs are welcome in each cabin for a small additional charge, with designated dog exercise areas available. Due to the naturally hilly landscape, only selected cabins are suitable for guests with limited mobility, so visitors requiring easier access are encouraged to discuss their needs before booking.
Churchwood Valley offers a range of convenient facilities while maintaining its peaceful, nature-focused atmosphere. Guests can enjoy an on-site licensed shop selling groceries, drinks, beach essentials, toys and gifts, together with a fully equipped launderette and two electric vehicle charging sockets. The woodland setting is also home to Wembury Wild Sauna, where visitors can unwind in a relaxing sauna before enjoying an invigorating cold plunge or outdoor shower overlooking the stream.
The park has a strong commitment to conservation, having received the David Bellamy Gold Conservation Award for 24 consecutive years, and continues to protect and enhance local wildlife habitats. More than 100 bird species have been recorded in the area, including the rare Cirl Bunting.
A particular highlight of Churchwood Valley is its exceptional location beside Wembury Bay and the South West Coast Path. Private paths lead through the wooded valley to the beautiful beach, which is no more than a ten-minute walk from the cabins and offers fascinating rock pools, coastal scenery and sandy stretches at low tide. Adjoining National Trust land provides further opportunities for scenic walks and wildlife watching, while Plymouth is approximately 20 minutes away by car.
With its emphasis on wildlife rather than nightlife, Churchwood Valley provides a wonderfully peaceful setting for families, walkers, dog owners and anyone wishing to reconnect with nature along the beautiful South Devon coastline.
