Melrose Cottage is located on Station Road in Okehampton. At one end of the road lies Dartmoor, with access (about ten minutes walk away) for hiking, biking and exploring. At the other end of the road (about five minutes walk away) is the centre of Okehampton, boasting numerous pubs, coffee shops, restaurants, supermarkets, a cinema and other amenities.
Melrose Cottage itself is nestled away, set back from the road in a quiet location, with plentiful off-street parking. Secure bike storage is available.
Upstairs is an open-plan living space, with a stunning bright conservatory dining room, a modern, well-equipped kitchen and a living area to relax with a coffee and magazine or watch a bit of telly. A small balcony can be accessed from the living room. The entire space benefits from high ceilings and is awash with natural light.
Downstairs, you have a spacious king size master bedroom, a double bedroom and a single bedroom. There is a larger bathroom with a bath (including shower over the bath), in case you want to have a relaxing soak after your Devon adventures. There is also another, smaller bathroom with a shower.
Melrose Cottage is family friendly. For those with younger children, travel cots, high chairs, stair gate, and plastic cutlery and crockery can be provided.
Unfortunately the property is not suitable for dogs (although we do love them and have our own) – sorry about that.

We used Paula’s base for a week whilst our daughter was getting married at Ashridge Great Barn up the road at North Tawton.
It was lovely and a home... read more from home and just what we needed. The place is a fantastic upside down house which is just like it is in the photos. However the photo doesn’t quite do justice to the dining room - without a shadow of a doubt my personal favourite room - so bright and airy and just ‘gurt lush’ !
Paula is a wonderful host - really helpful and in the background if you need anything. And has also dotted around the place little QR codes for things around locally to do or visit. Nice little touch 👍
Would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the place as a base for a small break or holiday.
(And thank you for the little welcome offering Paula - that was a little treat and a lovely touch, thank you!!)

Melrose Cottage was more than just a place to sleep. Paula thought of everything. From scones & fruit to shampoo and frying pans. This place has just about everything... read more you need. We loved walking into Okehampton and found several walking trails just around the corner. The train station is also close: just about a 5 minute walk. We loved the location and were able to take day trips to Lands End, Exeter, Mousehole and Clovelly. This cottage was perfect in every way!

We loved Melrose Cottage. Well equipped, home from home. Loved the little extras; freshly baked scones with cream and jam, fresh fruit, tea and coffee, salt and pepper etc, fresh... read more flowers, toiletries in bathrooms.
Plenty to do around. The cottage is in a good location within walking distance of the town.
Easy check in via lockbox.
Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful cottage. We would love to return, next time with our bikes.

Super appartement, très bien équipé, moderne et propre. Emplacement idéal pour rayonner autour. Stationnement en retrait de la rue. Climatisation très utile en cette période caniculaire. Petites attentions gourmandes appréciées.... read more Wi-fi rapide. Paula était très sympathique et présente pour nous rendre service et nous conseiller. Nous avons adoré notre séjour.

We stayed at Paula’s place for 3 nights. It’s a lovely place , walking distance to the town centre . Like a home from home. Would recommend it

Really pleased that we decided to book Paula’s place. The location was perfect for us, the centre of Okehampton just a few minutes walk away, with some lovely cafes. The... read more accommodation was clean, comfortable, spacious and so quiet! Just what we needed as a family during a difficult time, made even more special by a gracious host who respected our privacy and thoughtfully provided cake and a lovely fruit bowl waiting for us on arrival. Highly recommended if you need somewhere comfortable to stay in the Okehampton area.

Beautiful cottage in a great location. The cottage was very tastefully decorated and had all the amenities we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be recommending Melrose Cottage... read more to family and friends. Paula and Scott were fantastic hosts and were very helpful.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Paula's place. Paula is an exceptional host, very responsive and welcoming. The home made scones were delicious.
We felt right at home, the house... read more and beds very comfortable.
After staying in a lot of Airbnb's over a month, my husband was very grateful for the upside layout as he didn't have to cart suitcases up any stairs.
We would definately stay again, thankyou Paula.

We stayed in winter, visiting from Oz to see nearby family. Location was great. Excellent parking for 2 cars is crucial since street parking is very tight in... read more the area.
We were able to cook a full Christmas roast for 8 people with the facilities, though family brought along a few extra kitchen utensils; so the kitchen dining and lounge areas are more than adequate. Paula helpfully increased chairs and plates to accommodate this.
The upside down arrangement is great, with the dining room conservatory area a wonderful idea for increasing the light in the property.
Heating was powerful but with the upside down arrangement it was hard to regulate the bedroom temperature (but we are from Australia and are not accustomed to the cold)!
Wonderful place and will stay again, for future visits.
Hosts live next door and were very friendly helpful and accommodating.
