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:
Absolutely gorgeous property. The place was SPOTLESS, and the without a doubt the cleanest and most well equipped AirBnb we've stayed in over the last five years. Lovely treats left... read more for us, comfortable, warm and a home away from home. We're already thinking about and planning our next stay.

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.

Fabulous cottage - the pictures don’t tell the whole story. The cottage was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The town centre is just a short walk away.... read more There were some delicious pastries waiting for us on arrival which was a very nice touch. The check in and check out processes were simple to follow. An ideal place to base yourself if exploring the wider region.

Such a lovely escape for Christmas! we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here - it was very stylishly and thoughtfully decorated, an excellent kitchen with all mod-cons, lovely views from the... read more dining space which was just delightful. Paula was attentive but left us to it so the perfect balance for a host, we really appreciated the little touches (mince pies, mulled wine and a decorated tree!) to make it feel festive. We will definitely be back!

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.

Great location if you want to spend time on the moor. The cottage has everything you need. We had a lovely time.

Melrose Cottage in Okehampton was so comfortable and convenient for our visit to Devon and Dartmoor National park! Paula was so nice. As soon as we booked we... read more received a message from her saying we could ask anything about arrangements and local things to do. As we were from out of the country, we had some concerns about whether our transit from London could be affected by rail strikes and she provided helpful website for us to monitor the situation. When we arrived, there was a welcoming plate of scones on the counter with clotted cream and jam in the refrigerator. Only regret was that we were so busy touring the area that we didn't have much time to spend relaxing in this lovely place.

We spent a weekend in Paula's cottage to visit family and it was amazing! Paula was so helpful with all of the relevant information, it was easy to find thanks... read more to her simple directions, and the cottage has everything you could need. We had a toddler with us and the facilities provided more than met the needs of him (stair gate, kids cutlery, x2 high chairs, bed set up ready). Plenty of information available about the surrounding area provided as well. Thank you!
