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.

Reviews

Although there's so much to see and do in the area surrounding the Isle estate, it would take a lot to tempt me away from the chance to wander around the hundreds of acres. After all, how often do you get the chance to unwind while sitting on the banks of the River Severn in such a tranquil place, watching out for elusive otters and other wildlife? Then, maybe a dip in the private pool? Bliss.

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.
