Meet 'Isle B There'
1st May 2014
Meet 'Isle B There' (say 'I'll be there') who appeared with no fuss and bother at ten pm and was up and suckling within the hour.
Both the mare and foal still doing well even with people popping their noses over the stable door to have a look. Also on the 18th of the month we held our 15th fun ride, the weather was lovely, near record numbers attended and together we raised £5,000 for local charities, so a big thank you to all those who helped make the day so special.
After recently getting married abroad and looking to have a blessing in our local church in Bicton. At the same time we were looking for somewhere we could take back a few guests for pictures and drinks, i found the Isle Estate online and saw how beautiful the grounds looked! When i rang up Edward was completely welcoming and encouraged us to come see the Isle Estate and the rooms.. We were not disappointed!! We stayed over in the White and Blue room which was just lovely, the bed was very comfortable and we had the best nights sl...

I came back again as it was such a relaxing interesting visit a few years ago. Great to be remembered and spend an pleasant evening chatting , listening to Edwards fascinating knowledge of local history. Ask to see the little box of historical artefacts they have. I stayed in the pink room again, overlooking the extensive grounds. The bed just softly supports you. The bath is huge and hot. Wifi is free and works in the room. I have noticed that this is not true in many older houses as the walls are so thick. Breakfast is lovely wit...

What an absolutely beautiful and magical place to spend a weekend! My friend and I had arranged a weekend in Shrewsbury to not only look around the area but also spend an evening on a ghost tour in the Prison. We found the Isle Estate online and what a find! We arrived down the very long country lane to find the entrance which is marked with two lovely old wall posts. The lane continues with some big speed humps along the way, however these did not cause us any real issues in a larger car. You may need to becareful when going down ...

Just one note of caution- try not to arrive after dark. The speed humps are not very easy to see in darkness, then its quite easy to get lost in the farmyard even when you are almost at the house. Once we did thread our way through though, the welcome was warm and relaxing. A pot of tea served by a roaring log fire in the sitting room was very welcome. We'd chosen the Blue and White Room, which was very comfortable. Loads of fun trying to figure out the massage settings on the bed! We'd opted to dine in on both evenings, reasoning ...

We have just had the real pleasure of a four night stay at this splendid home from home. I cannot praise Ros and Edward enough for their warm welcome and unending efforts to make our stay nothing but a pleasure. A lovely couple and, indeed, a lovely family. We were welcomed with tea and biscuits served in the lounge whilst Edward did his best to book us in. This in itself was a great event as he is an enthusiastic conversationalist and, as I too love a natter, the booking in went frequently astray!! Introductions were made to family...
