Directions by Road:
From the North
Exit at J25 of the M5 and follow the signs (easy) round Taunton for Minehead on the A358. Approx 3 miles out of Taunton (after signs for Bishops Lydeard), turn left onto the B3224 signposted Exford & Wheddon Cross (under railway bridge). Continue straight on for approx 9 miles, pass Ralegh’s Cross Inn on your left and, after another ½ mile, turn right at the white Chapel on the B3224 signposted Exford and Wheddon Cross.

Please note that from January to May 2024 the road is closed between Wheddon Cross and Exford, so a diversion route will take you from Wheddon Cross to Winsford and from there you can take the road from Winsford to Withypool. Go straight over at Wheddon Cross and continue approx 5 miles into Exford. Go over the bridge and turn immediately left signposted Withypool.  After approx 1 mile up hill, turn left at the crossroads. After approx 1½ miles Withypool is sign-posted right. When you enter the village of Withypool, turn right immediately after the Royal Oak Inn. After approx 150 yards where the road forks, bear left of the central signpost up the no-through lane. The entrance to Westerclose House Cottages is a further 100 yards up on the left hand side of the lane. Come up the driveway through the cream pillars, past the front of the house and around into the courtyard at the back of the house. Welcome!

Exit J27 of the M5 and take the A361 towards Tiverton and Barnstaple. At the roundabout near Tiverton, turn right onto the A396 following signs for Dulverton up the beautiful Exe valley. Go through Dulverton and take the B3223 (signposted Exford) for approx 7 miles up through woods onto Winsford Hill (please watch out for wandering livestock and Exmoor ponies on the open moorland).
