SIMBAD lists a Gaia DR2 parallax of 10.85±0.03 milli-arcseconds for that star. Without going into the biases and uncertainties in current Gaia parallax data, $$r \approx \frac{1}{\varpi}$$ where $\varpi$ is the parallaxparallax in arcseconds and $r$ is the distance in parsecsparsecs. This works out to a distance of roughly 92 parsecs or 300 light-years.
