"The environment in the Studio is relaxing, yet inspirational. A great set up you've got there. Totally original, I think" Brian

HOW TO GET HERE

Look below for driving instructions (these are also sent with every booking).

IF YOU COME BY TRAIN

We will pick you up at Reading Main Station, take you to the Studio, then to your accommodation in the evening

The Studio stands in the shadow of the historic Mapledurham House

The Studio is in the beautiful 'time warp' village of Mapledurham. Opposite the Alms Houses

We are located in a very unique place - Mapledurham. (Just outside Reading, Berkshire). It is a little hamlet - with no traffic (Mapledurham village leads to Mapledurham House - so no route to anywhere and hence no traffic!)

It is a 'time warp' place. (no buses, no noise, no traffic, no offices, just us, the people who live here, the birds and wild life skipping along the fields!)

" I had no idea that the studio was in such a pretty location….Your web-site doesn’t say that it’s a no-through road and not plagued by cars ….likewise the B&Bs (we stayed at Neal’s Farm which was also fantastically tranquil)".

JUST LOOK AT OUR UNIQUE SETTING!!

DIRECTIONS TO THE UK STUDIO

FROM THE M4

Leave the M4 at Junction 11 and turn onto the A33 - DIRECTION READING. You will pass the Madjeski (Football) Stadium on your left. Keep going straight ahead onto the Reading Relief Road and then onto Rose Kiln Lane (still the A33). Keep going straight ahead onto the A329 - Caversham Road (you are in CAVERSHAM).

On to the A4155 and once you have passed over the bridge - keep in the left hand lane (past a photographic shop on your left and Picasso Italian restaurant) and filter left at the traffic lights onto the A4074. (St Peters Hill) Go straight onto the Woodcote Road which then turns into Upper Woodcote Road. (Still the A4074)

Keep going straight and past a large freestanding sign saying Maple Durham on the right hand side. Then you reach a sign on the left hand side saying Chazey Heath (there is also a brown National Trust sign saying Mapledurham House on the opposite side of the road) TURN LEFT HERE JUST PAST THE CHAZEY HEATH SIGN and opposite the Pack Saddle pub. It is an unmarked country lane.

KEEP CONCENTRATING HERE!! It's very easy to miss the crossroads because it is very beautiful countryside. SO! AT THE FIRST CROSS ROADS turn left - direction Mapledurham and Mapledurham House.

This is a single, very beautiful country lane. It twists and turns and there are often bunny rabbit skipping across the road and the odd deer. There are usually sheep, cows and horses in the fields.

Keep going straight on, past 'DELTA FORCE - Paintball'. There are a couple of a sharp bends to the left - keep going straight ahead. (don’t worry you are not lost!). (The end of this road is a dead end and Mapledurham House - so you can not get lost as there is only one destination). We are a few steps away from the entrance to Mapledurham House.

When you enter the village, there are some houses with a red letter box on the wall on the left hand side. Keep going a very short way and there are a row of ‘Alms Houses’ on the right - we are opposite. Large gravel car park.

There is a small acrylic sign on the right hand pillar of the entrance saying 'JoeDaisy Studio'. You will see the large gravel car park and 'Daisy' our life size fibre glass cow.

WELCOME - you have arrived. Come and have a cup of tea or coffee in the lounge and marvel at your low pulse rate - reduced by the fantastic countryside and warm welcome from JoeDaisy Studio.

If you do get lost just telephone 0118 9483155 and we will send someone to guide you in. AND remember we will always pick you up from Reading Station.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU

DO NOT USE THE INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE AA WEB SITE - THEY ARE WRONG we have told the AA lots of times - but they don't change it - very annoying for the unfortunate people who end up in Purley!
