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.

Melrose cottage geeft je waar voor je geld. Modern, netjes en veel ruimte.
Paula had onze komst mooi voorbereid, zo waren en heerlijke scones en ook fruit.

Supermarkten in de buurt (op loopafstand) een Waitrose en Lidl
Reizen met een EV is ook een makkie, aangezien er ook een (betaald) laadpaal aanwezig is. Altijd handig

Melrose cottage avoids all my Air B&B pet hates and has all my favourite touches.
The cottage is really spacious and beautifully designed. It is spotless, it felt... read more like we were the first guests to stay there. Lovely quality bedding and towels. It is in a great location, with easy access to the moors.
The house has all the essentials (loo roll, detergents, some toiletries, salt, pepper, oil, herbs and spices) as well as a lovely welcome package of a devon cream team and some fruit. We are a car free family and I really appreciate these little touches, means we don't have to pack the pantry!
It may not be the most private of location, but is certainly one of the classiest places we have ever stayed.

We enjoyed our bank holiday break. It was easy to get into the property. We felt comfortable and at home. It was a good nights sleep given how dark and... read more quiet it was at night. There’s lots to do within driving distance. There’s a children’s park within walking distance which was also nice. We are frequent visitors to Devon and have stayed in different parts and this was one we really enjoyed. Our hostess responsive and helpful. Thanks for a lovely time ☺️

I stayed at Melrose cottage for just over one month with work and I can’t rate the home or Paula enough!
The house is spacious, clean with all the... read more amenities you could possibly need.
Paula went above and beyond to make sure I was ok and little meaningful things like fresh flowers on the table every Monday! The little touches that mean the most.
If I am ever in the location again I’d definitely book here!
Thank you for everything.

What an amazing place to stay. All the extra special touches made it very homely. Okehampton is a beautiful place with lots to see and do. Would highly recommend Melrose... read more Cottage to everyone.

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!

Perfect location, walking distance to local shops/restaurants as well as walks in the National Park. Wonderful property - spacious, clean, would stay again for sure

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.

Literally a home from home. I didn’t need to worry about anything, on arrival we had scones clotted cream and jam, plus the extras like fruit and filter coffee, good... read more wifi and Netflix if that’s your thing etc. It is located close to Dartmoor so we had plenty of excursions. All in all a fantastic place to stay, we would definitely visit again. Lovely stay, thank you Paula.
