Churchwood Valley Holiday Cabins
There are lots of holiday parks in Devon and Cornwall, but we have a real "soft spot" for Churchwood Valley. There is no bar, no entertainment, no pool or spa. And don't expect trendy furnishings. But that's the point! Simple, but well appointed, holiday cabins, nestling in a beautiful and peaceful wooded valley running down to the beach. If 'getting away from it all' is the most important part of your holiday, then Churchwood Valley will suit you. By moving no further than your armchair, you'll see delightful displays of bird life, and a trip to your private patio may well afford a glimpse of badgers, foxes, squirrels and other wildlife. Even in winter, the cabins are cosy and warm - great for an off-season back-to-nature break. Churchwood Valley is a Gold winner of the David Bellamy Conservation Award for their tireless work to ensure your holiday is in harmony with the natural environment.

Each of the three units has its own character - there's the Refreshment Hall, the Porter's Office, and perhaps best of all the Ticketing Hall - complete with original features including the ticket-office hatch!
