Well done Ma'am! The Albatross really is a delight.
The IC is a nice enough place, and clearly has its fans. But it's way too small to be a stand-alone resort, and its isolation might be difficult to deal with once the initial charm has worn off.
You might try a different style of isolation on the other side of Cascais, with a night or two at magnificent Guincho beach. Spectacular views and no railway line! The Fortaleza do Guincho is splendid and hosts a Michelin restaurant, while the less expensive Estalagem Muchaxo next door enjoys the same dramatic views.
