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.

BOOKING INFORMATION:
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.
The Melrose cottage was beautiful, clean and felt like home immediately. There were personal touches of fresh daffodils on the living room coffee table and kitchen table. The kitchen was... read more clean and well-appointed and there was even a small treat to welcome us! We had a wonderful stay and hope to return. The glass roof in the kitchen made the room full of light and there were great views from the breakfast table.
A beautiful and recently restored barn conversion to a very high standard. It’s also on the best road in Devon for easy access to the most rugged part of Dartmoor.... read more Great for hikers, but also walking distance to shops. Thanks Paula
What an amazing place to stay! We were visiting some friends that just moved to Okehampton and this place was perfect! Tasty scones with clotted cream and jam on arrival... read more was a really nice touch. 5 mins walk into the town, great open plan space and high spec amenities. My son also described it as the comfiest bed he’s ever slept in.
A beautiful, spacious place to stay in such a stunning area of Devon. We had rain virtually the whole time so couldn't take advantage of the glorious walks etc... read more but we still had a good time. Paula sent us some great suggestions for the children.
All very modern and clean and bright. Would totally recommend. We booked this because this was so fairly priced too. Many places on Airbnb are very expensive but Paula's place is good value for money and well-cared for.
Location was very good and there are many nearby attractions. Paula ensures that everything was okay during our stay. Having instructions book on how to use the various electrical appliances... read more was a big help. And most of all the house was very nice and clean. Definitely recommend staying in this property.
This is a beautifully put together place! Plenty of space for sleeping and living in the upside down house. Lots of little finishing touches. Fluffy towels, plenty of storage... read more and I loved that full size toiletries were available in the bathrooms! The kitchen had everything we could need and the host even left some scones with jam and cream.
Location is excellent; easy walk into town, next to the park and just a short walk up the hill into the wild Dartmouth NP.
An excellent property - we’d fully recommend! Thank you for a lovely stay.
Beautiful and extremely spacious accommodation. The interior is very high spec and newly renovated. Excellently equipped in the kitchen. Gorgeous powerful showers and the bathrooms are very modern /... read more beautifully fitted. The cottage is very close to the owners house being an old converted barn but this didn’t affect our stay and privacy can be easily achieved with closing blinds / curtains etc Great communication from the owners who were on hand during our stay if needed and lots of lovely welcome treats provided inc fresh flowers, yummy cakes and fruit etc Would defo be very happy to return again.
