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.

Great cottage, thoughtfully equipped and decorated. Ideally located for both country walking straight from the house and supermarket shopping. Friendly and attentive host. Thanks Paula.

This is a beautifully put together place! Plenty of space for sleeping and living in the upside down house. Lots of little finishing touches. Fluffy towels, plenty of storage... read more and I loved that full size toiletries were available in the bathrooms! The kitchen had everything we could need and the host even left some scones with jam and cream.
Location is excellent; easy walk into town, next to the park and just a short walk up the hill into the wild Dartmouth NP.
An excellent property - we’d fully recommend! Thank you for a lovely stay.

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.

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.

I can’t rate Paula’s place highly enough. She is an amazing and understanding host. Goes beyond standard and into high end. The annex apartment is to a very high spec... read more far higher than you expect. When was the last time you had 300+ thread count sheets and knives could skin crocodiles in an air bnb, let alone solid oak doors, sky light views and thick fresh towels? I need to know what fabric cleaner you use is it amazing even on day 3 I could still smell the cleanliness. Paula went out of her way to accommodate me and my family when we screwed up our arrival day. A gracious attentive host. Definitely definitely coming back asap! Thank you Paula!! Love The Keeling’s young, old and in between! Xxxx

Check-in was super easy and we loved the special touches: flowers, Victoria Sponge, shortbread, milk... Yum! Thanks Paula! Also the kitchen is fully equipped with all the necessities to cook (olive oil, garlic salt, pepper etc.,) which is a rarity nowadays at Airbnbs!
The bedrooms were wonderful: beds were extremely comfortable. Lovely bathrooms... everything was perfect! I highly recommend this wonderful cottage! We will be back. Thank you Paula!
