Halsbeer Farm is situated between the villages of Kentisbeare and Blackborough near Cullompton. With close links to the M5 and the A30/A303 it is really easy to get yourself to our spot in the Blackdown Hills without too much fuss. It is easiest to have your own car but if you do need to arrive by public transport there are trains to both Tiverton Parkway and Honiton just 15-20 minutes away and coaches to Tiverton, Exeter and even Cullompton. The nearest airport is Exeter, but Bristol is another alternative.
We are situated down quite a few lanes in a rural area so it is wise to have a print out of these directions in case you don't have mobile reception on your approach. You should receive a pre-arrival email with directions too about a week before your stay that you can refer to.
We are located between two postcodes (EX15 2HW points at our neighbours at nearby Mortimer's Farm whereas EX15 2HN points to our more distant neighbours at All Hallows Farm) so satnav is not always reliable in this area so we don't recommend following it.
Google Maps should recognise Halsbeer Farm as a location. Please be aware that the driveway to the cottages is from the lane leading from Mortimer's Cross to Mortimer's Farm to the south of the property and not from the North (which is the entrance to Blackdown Yurts - no through road to Halsbeer Farm from there). Look out for our grey roadsigns.
