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:
The cottage was beautiful and spacious. Easy check in, and so many lovely welcoming treats - scones, jam, clotted cream, milk, fresh fruit!!
Plenty of instructions on how to use... read more everything. Photos didn’t do it justice.
The only downside is trying to get out of the drive as it is a blind spot.

Angela And Charlie
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.

We were a group of 5 and had a very pleasant stay at Paula’s stay. It was clean, stunning and had every essential you would need, including a dishwasher and... read more washing machine. Paula was also communicative and checked in to be sure we were fine / needed any help.
Sharon
We had a great stay with Paula, the house was just as described and perfect for a weeks stay. We only met Paula briefly in person, but her communication help... read more and advice were all excellent! Would stay again.

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!!)

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 ☺️

Paula was an amazing host and I would highly recommend you to stay here over any other house in Okehampton. Paula was so helpful and even baked us a cake... read more for our arrival. The house was perfectly clean and had everything we needed. It was the perfect stay away from home as it truly felt like home!
Sophie
Paula is amazing, and so is Melrose Cottage. She went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Travelling with 18 month old twins is a challenge, but... read more staying at this cottage made everything so much easier. Thank you so much for everything
Kat
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.

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.
