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 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 fantastic cottage. A modern conversion and very clean. For two couples the cottage is ideal as there is plenty of space. It is well provided and well placed for... read more visiting Okehampton, the moor and further afield with the public transport links. An ideal spot.
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... 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.
