Directions:
Coldstone House is on Shipton Road in Ascott-Under-Wychwood. It is on the bend of Shipton Road, on the outskirts of the village along from the Village Hall (Tiddy Hall).
Access to the pool is through the main gate, straight on through the second gate to the left of the house (the main house will be on your right), access to the pool is then on your right, opposite the conservatory door, through a large wooden door.
Puddle Ducks posters will be displayed to help you find the location.
If coming from Shipton-Under-Wychwood (or via Shipton Road)
Follow the Shipton Road into the village of Ascott-Under-Wychwood, the road then bends to the left. As the road bends to the right into the village itself, you will have Coldstone House on your left and a private road opposite you. If you follow the bend to the right and get to the Village Hall (on your left) you have gone too far and the entrance to Coldstone House will be behind you.
From Ascott-Under-Wychwood (via London Road)
Driving through the village of Ascott-Under-Wychwood, you will go past Windrush Village School on your left and turn onto Shipton Road (on your left near the train station). You will go past The Swam pub on your right and Tiddy Hall on your left and the entrance to Coldstone House will be front of you before the road bends around to the left.
Parking:
Parking is available in the stable yard. This can be found by driving past the house on your right to the end of the drive way. There is room for 4-5 cars in this area.
Please do not park on the parking area in front of this house as this is not for us to use.
There is also parking on the road up the hill in front of the house. There is room for about 4 cars here and then further up the road where it widens out there is more room. If you need help please do ask the Poolside Assistant on the day.
NB. Parking on the bend must be avoided if parking on the road near the property. Please ensure that you are parking responsibly and not blocking any footpaths or driveways
