How to find us?

By car: From the north, east or west. M4 junction 15, take the A346 for 4 miles towards Marlborough. Turn off main road after passing the Ogbourne Downs Golf Club. From the south: A346 through Marlborough, then 3 miles towards Swindon.

By train: First Great Western trains to Swindon or Bedwyn. Our personal experience is that tickets from (say) Paddington to Bedwyn are substantial cheaper than to Swindon. Then by the number 20 or 22 bus to Marlborough or taxi.

By bus: Stagecoach route 71 from Swindon or Marlborough. Ask for the bus stop at the Marlborough end of the village, we are just 50 yards from the stop. Alternatively, Wilts and Dorset route 95 from Swindon or Pewsey. Please note: this route stops on the village by-pass, and does not come through the village itself. From the bus stop on the A346, it is a five minute walk.

By air: To the airstrips at Draycott or Lower Upham, both of which are about three miles north.

There are just two roads running through the village, skirted by the Roman Road. We are on the B-road which runs from near Southend and Hallam. It goes under the main A346 road and then over the downs to Aldbourne.

From Marlborough, go past Southend and Hallam, then take the next left. When you enter the village, you will go past the 30mph speed limit sign and a public telephone box. As you do, look for the second house on the right.

From Swindon or Aldbourne, go under the main road, past "The Inn With The Well", then look for the last-but-one house on the left.
