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:
Paula's place is just perfect!! A friend and I stayed there whilst we attended a very intense course at the Sculpture School nearby. Paula is a brilliant communicator and right... read more from my initial booking to arrival and checking out, she was always immediately available and highly responsive.
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!

We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was lovely and clean and had everything you needed. The living space was fantastic and well designed. The welcome cream tea and flowers... read more were a lovely touch. Paula was easy to contact and gave great instructions. The cottage is an easy walk to Okehampton, which has some great restaurants. Also a great spot to visit Dartmoor and beyond. The EV charging was an added bonus. We would recommend it as a place to stay and would happily visit again. The only thing to be aware of, is the drive is quite tight if you have a larger vehicle.

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.
