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 avoids all my Air B&B pet hates and has all my favourite touches.
The cottage is really spacious and beautifully designed. It is spotless, it felt... read more like we were the first guests to stay there. Lovely quality bedding and towels. It is in a great location, with easy access to the moors.
The house has all the essentials (loo roll, detergents, some toiletries, salt, pepper, oil, herbs and spices) as well as a lovely welcome package of a devon cream team and some fruit. We are a car free family and I really appreciate these little touches, means we don't have to pack the pantry!
It may not be the most private of location, but is certainly one of the classiest places we have ever stayed.

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!!)
