The Experience
History buffs and nature lovers rejoice. You drive through lion-topped stone pillars to a house built in 1682 (then extended) that stands in 850 acres enfolded by the river Severn. Charming Ros and Edward are down to earth and hands-on: eggs, bacon, ham, vegetables, and logs all come from the estate.
Flop in front of a huge fire in the drawing room, homely with family antiques, big rug, magazines strewn on large tables. Peaceful bedrooms are large and light with pocket-sprung memory mattresses and snazzy upmarket bathrooms. Walk, fish, ride (there’s a livery stable on site) and lap up the views – they’re sublime.
Wake to breakfasts of freshly squeezed orange juice, Shropshire sausages, locally cured bacon, eggy bread, croissants, pains au chocolat, excellent coffee. Swim in the outdoor heated pool, wander one of the scenic routes around the river, take a picnic to its banks, spot many birds – it’s peaceful here.

I must say we had a wonderful visit on our first stay at Ros & Edward wonderful country house. My teenage daughters loved having the freedom to visit the horses and not to mention the cats, geese, peacocks and turkeys. The hosts are ever so welcoming and friendly. The breakfast ingredients (the porridge is legendary) are all from local producers and you can taste the difference. The accommodation is well appointed and it truly helps you to get that “away from it all” feeling. This is a timeless charming place to spend a few days - I would highly recommend it.

We loved our two-night stay at The Isle Estate. It's a fascinating working farm with the friendliest, most accommodating hosts we've encountered. We were invited to walk the estate, including a beautiful lake, peacocks, horses, goats, and many gorgeous fields. The breakfasts were delicious and we loved sitting around a large table chatting with other guests and our hosts, Ros and Edward. We learned so much about the history of the estate and the area in general. Our room was bright and lovely and had everything we could need. Upon booking, we received beneficial information regarding the area.

We've just returned from another very enjoyable stay at The Isle. Ros and Edward are excellent hosts; always happy to offer advice and chat but never intrusive. There's a hearty breakfast and in the winter a roaring fire. We would really recommend not only staying here (particularly suitable for those with a dog), but also visiting the many stately homes, castles and historic sites in the area as well as the stunning scenery, eg the view from Montgomery Castle is to die for.

Location
The neighbourhood
On the estate find a walled garden, dovecote, ha-ha and of course the river for lovely, gentle walks. Shrewsbury is just five miles for restaurants, pubs and shops. There's a great deal going on there with a food festival in late June and a folk festival in August. Walk along the ancient walls, visit the castle, museums and art gallery. National Trust Attingham Park is 11 miles, Ludlow 34.
Local points of interest from Ros & Edward Tate
- 10% off when you book two or more nights.
- All the food we serve is either produced on the place or comes from a great local farm shop.
- We are happy to send you a list of places we like to dine out nearby.
- Bring your swimming costume as the pool is kept nice and warm during the summer months.
- Leave time to have a walk around the farm taking in the 10 acre lake, Anglo-Saxon fort and of course various horses.
- Shrewsbury town centre is only 10 minutes away and should you like a glass of wine with dinner taxi's are plentiful for the return trip.

Introducing
Ros & Edward Tate
The estate has been in Edward's family since 1450 – if you're keen to learn more about the history then Edward or Ros will be very happy to oblige. They've made every effort to farm the estate in as sustainable a way as possible, benefitting all the wildlife. But their main aim is to give you a truly memorable stay.
2 lovely days with family in this gorgeous house full of history and artefacts of all ages. Super kind generous hosts in Edward and Ros. I absolutely loved everything about it. The grandchildren loved the pool and the animals and all the space to explore. Just fabulous, hope to return another time. Thank you so much.
