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:
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.

Paula was an amazing host and I would highly recommend you to stay here over any other house in Okehampton. Paula was so helpful and even baked us a cake... read more for our arrival. The house was perfectly clean and had everything we needed. It was the perfect stay away from home as it truly felt like home!

Wonderfully decorated place with all amenities provided. The welcome gift of scones and fruit was a nice surprise! Highly recommended.
Ramesh
Fantastic stay near Dartmoor in a surprisingly fully stocked (Waitrose, Lidl, and Coop) and quaint (castle and walks) town of Okehampton. Paula has probably one of the nicest properties in... read more the town with a private driveway and new modern finishing for the cottage. She’s very responsive and helpful.

Great place to stay close to great walks and cycling trails on Dartmoor. The cottage was light and airy and very spacious. We had everything we could possibly need.

Literally a home from home. I didn’t need to worry about anything, on arrival we had scones clotted cream and jam, plus the extras like fruit and filter coffee, good... read more wifi and Netflix if that’s your thing etc. It is located close to Dartmoor so we had plenty of excursions.

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.
