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.

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.

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

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!!)
