Guy and Rebecca Phillipson spend their time between Oxford (where Rebecca works during term time) and the island, where they spend most weekends as well as school holidays. Until a serious accident in 2021, Guy was a competitive cyclist, holding records for many stretches of road on the island. Although he can no longer cycle competitively, he still enjoys taking his bike out around the island's quiet roads. He can advise guests on cycle routes and hire facilities. Rebecca is a photographer and gardener, spending much of her time on the island tending to the extensive garden, including a large greenhouse (our silver wedding present to ourselves) and productive vegetable garden. She is an expert jam maker and will happily provide you with some of her homemade jams, made from produce grown in the garden. Rebecca has enjoyed furnishing the 1906 gypsy caravan and is slowly restoring the exterior.
Guy and Rebecca have two grown up daughters. When in residence, the owners stay in the main house, situated on the other side of the driveway from the Granary, which has its own garden area. The Granary is only offered for rental over the spring and summer. However we do consider out of season rentals. Please place an enquiry and we will be happy to discuss your requirements.
