Guest House MJ

Just returned with very mixed feelings. Our room was first class with bathroom, shower and jacuzzi (sp). The outlook was south over car parking. Food was almost dreadful - breakfast was always same with 'plastic' cheese and reformed ham, and rubberised scrambled egg. There were also cereals, breads and croissants. Evening meal offered choice of a fish or meat, with cold , over cooked vegetables. I doubt anything was cooked on the premises. There was NEVER any cooking smells. Drink is cheap. Hose wine is palatable at €8. Per bottle, and small beer €1.50. The hotel is situated by the beach but the sea is 'out of bounds ' as it shelves steeply into a rough sea which would carry away almost anyone who chose to enter. The hotel is quite isolated. We were able to walk to nearby bar, 10+ minutes down the approach road where by the roundabout there ere two very welcoming bars. If you are not too good on your feet this could be a problem. Along side the hotel, running parallel with the sea is the / a pilgrim route to Santiago. You can use this to walk south to Povoa de Varzim ( about 40+ minutes) or north to the next village with a mini market and several eateries - ( 15+ minutes) It is a family run hotel, sometimes a little short staffed but everyone is very helpful and everywhere is clean. Very much let down by food offerings.

Excelente. Passamos um fim de semana na MJ Guest House. Fomos com o objetivo de descansar e relaxar. Não podia ter sido melhor! A localização da Guest House permitiu desconectar, sem estarmos completamente isolados. Perto dos principais serviços e acessos da Póvoa de Varzim, más suficientemente remoto para desfrutarmos da tranquilidade do campo. A vasta área verde em volta foi das coisas que mais gostamos. Estar nas redes a ouvir os pássaros e a desfrutar do sol quente de outono. O quarto era super agradável, bem decorado e o wc equipado com tudo o que era essencial. A equipa foi fantástica! Deram nos as melhores recomendações sobre o que fazer no sábado e no domingo e indicaram restaurantes muito bons para fazermos as nossas refeições. Foi uma experiência muito boa! Vamos voltar para conhecer as melhorias que estão agora a fazer na propriedade. Certamente vai valorizar ainda mais a experiência! Até breve .
