Now no longer a family seat, the story of Portlick Castle enters a new phase as a country retreat, a deserved escape from everyday hassle and a chance to experience life, as it should be, luxuriously.
For tangible tranquility in an away-from-it-all exclusiveness, yet enjoying modern creature comforts, Portlick Castle is a unique facility for total relaxation.

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?'
