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:
Melrose Cottage in Okehampton was so comfortable and convenient for our visit to Devon and Dartmoor National park! Paula was so nice. As soon as we booked we... read more received a message from her saying we could ask anything about arrangements and local things to do. As we were from out of the country, we had some concerns about whether our transit from London could be affected by rail strikes and she provided helpful website for us to monitor the situation. When we arrived, there was a welcoming plate of scones on the counter with clotted cream and jam in the refrigerator. Only regret was that we were so busy touring the area that we didn't have much time to spend relaxing in this lovely place.

Beautiful and extremely spacious accommodation. The interior is very high spec and newly renovated. Excellently equipped in the kitchen. Gorgeous powerful showers and the bathrooms are very modern /... read more beautifully fitted. The cottage is very close to the owners house being an old converted barn but this didn’t affect our stay and privacy can be easily achieved with closing blinds / curtains etc Great communication from the owners who were on hand during our stay if needed and lots of lovely welcome treats provided inc fresh flowers, yummy cakes and fruit etc Would defo be very happy to return again.

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.

A lovely spacious cottage, spotlessly clean, and with some extra welcome items in the fridge from our thoughtful hosts. Modern, light, and space to relax in the beautiful surroundings. Nice... read more countryside views from the balcony. Great walks, and such a nice town with all shopping in walking distance. Would definitely stay again.

Super appartement, très bien équipé, moderne et propre. Emplacement idéal pour rayonner autour. Stationnement en retrait de la rue. Climatisation très utile en cette période caniculaire. Petites attentions gourmandes appréciées.... read more Wi-fi rapide. Paula était très sympathique et présente pour nous rendre service et nous conseiller. Nous avons adoré notre séjour.

Very nice place and walkable to the town centre. Quiet to sleep at night. Very modern fixtures and finishing. Well equipped kitchen to cook our meals. ... read more Really enjoyed our stay in Okehampton. Note for North Americans that a King size mattress in the UK, which we filtered on, is what we call a Queen size.

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
