Kingham railway station is also around 10 minutes drive away with hourly trains into London Paddington.
Our address is Station House, Adlestrop, GL56 0YF.
We can be tricky to find and the postcode takes you into the village not to our location.
From Stow on the Wold, stay on the A436, do not turn into Adlestrop village. After the ‘Lower Oddington’ sign, our driveway is on the left immediately before the railway bridge.
From the opposite direction (Chipping Norton) also do not be tempted to turn off the A436 to Adlestrop village, stay on & we are immediately after the Adlestrop railway bridge, on the right.
It’s a sharp hairpin, but go slow and you’ll be fine!
