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.

We loved staying at The Isle so much we extended our visit by not only one night but two! Ros and Edward couldn't have been more welcoming; the accommodation is superb, the manor typically Sawday and quirky and the breakfasts positively delicious. Go on treat yourself! Thanks so much Ros and Edward.

Hosts Edward and Ros are so interesting. Edwards knowledge of history and eco friendly farming is incredible. Ros is mad about horses and so entrepreneurial. Her latest idea is a dog field for dogs to run free and play off leash with up to 6 doggy friends for 45 mins for ten quid. The field has water, woods, tunnel..a covered area for the humans to sit and picnic and even a dog wash area in the car park. Easy access and plenty of parking. When we were there, the pool was open. Lovely to swim in England in the open air In May. The walks around the farm are wonderful.

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.
To say that The Isle is an isle, is an understatement. The property occupies a meander in the River Seven & peace and quietude are in sheer abundance. Ros and Edward Tate’s enthusiasm for the Isle is infectious. They have an encyclopaedic knowledge of the locality. A high point in your stay will be The Isle breakfast, served in the panelled dining room, hung with portraits of the illustrious Sandford family, one of whom was knighted by Henry IVth at the battle of Shrewsbury in 1403. The Isle is a quintessential English country home with its doors thrown open for one & all to enjoy – luck you!
