Relaxation and Tranquility
For tangible tranquility in an away-from-it-all exclusiveness,
yet enjoying modern creature comforts, Portlick Castle is
a unique facility for total relaxation. Arriving at the gates,
flanked by two statues of resting lions, the tree-lined avenue,
welcomely illuminated from sunset, is an invitation to switch
off from the hectic fare of modern life. You can be assured
it will be an easy decision to make. The harder decision will
be ' will I leave now or stay a few more days?'
