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 at Paula’s place for 3 nights. It’s a lovely place , walking distance to the town centre . Like a home from home. Would recommend it

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.

Great place! All to the highest standard and exceptionally well appointed with everything you could ask for in an AirBnB - even including tea/coffee/milk and CAKE(!) on arrival. Perfect place... read more for our party of 2 couples using this as base camp for coast-to-coast cycle ride. Paula was always responsive and helpful. Highly recommended.

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 park around the corner and the castle are all walking distance.... read more Paula was very helpful and friendly. There wasn’t anything she couldn’t help with whilst we were there. We would recommend this place and would definitely visit again. Thank you.

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.

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.

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.

Would definitely book again, but unfortunately fully booked.

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.
