About this property
Okehampton 3 miles. Brokan is a splendid cottage resting in the countryside of Meldon, on the edge of the Dartmoor National Park.

Kelvin, Sue and Alfie were perfect hosts. The views of Yes Tor are amazing and the cottage had everything we needed (except a dishwasher). If we need a base in the area again this will be our first choice.
