Guests say

The Flo Jo is a well-received apartment in Ellesmere, Shropshire, praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and friendly owners, Lynne and Roger. Guests appreciate the peaceful location, comfortable furnishings, and the added convenience of dog-friendly facilities. The property is noted for its character and the owners' homemade ice cream, making it a memorable stay for visitors seeking tranquility and a warm welcome.

Guests consistently mention the property's cleanliness, describing it as very clean and well-maintained, which reflects a high standard of hygiene and care.

The property is appreciated for its peaceful, rural setting with nearby walks and attractions, making it an ideal choice for those looking for a tranquil retreat.

Reviews highlight the comfortable bed, sofas, and overall comfort of the apartment. However, one mention of the property getting quite hot suggests a minor issue with temperature regulation.

Facilities are generally well-regarded, with mentions of a brilliant shower, well-equipped kitchen, and dog showers. Suggestions for improvements include a welcome folder and better living room layout for TV viewing.

While the reviews reflect the owners' helpfulness and the property's charm, there is no specific mention of gifts or extra thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.

    The best part about my experience here was the owners, hard working, genuine people and the sell their own ice cream which they produce in the shop below Flo Jo's - you absolutely can't stay there without trying it !

  • Simon

    Very comfortable and well equipped It could benefit from a welcome folder with information about the unit including items such as wifi and local amenities like pub, shops and take away menus The living room layout was not conducive to watching TV as one sofa and a chair are facing away from the TV. There is a lot of large furniture in the living area which seats 5 people for a two person unit A toilet roll holder and a soap dispenser in the bathroom would be useful

  • Carol

    The owners were pleasant and helpful. A comfortable bed, with a good bath and shower. Well equipped with plenty of books and dvds. The surrounding areas and canal walks plus whixall fen were well worth a visit. Powis castle and Chirk castle were not too far. All in all a pleasant week. Carol & Geoff
