Champernowe is a real gem. A comfortable apartment, very relaxing and peaceful. We have had an amazing time. It is so well placed to visit so many of our favourite places in Devon. We would definitely stay again.

This was a little out of the way, but very handy for the bus to various places. Due to my husband & I having concessionaire bus passes we went everywhere on the bus, saved us a fortune.

Good location for exploring the local area but typical Devon narrow lanes leading to the property. Thankfully very little traffic on them! Clean and well equipped. Thank you.
