Christians cabin is quiet. That is exactly what we were looking for. You can hear the ocean from the cabin and it is a wonderful sound. It is just a short walk to the beach. If you have a car, this is a good place to stay if you want to explore Mafra, Ericeira, Lissabon, but want to stay somewhere quiet. The parking on the premises is also a plus, since you don't have to worry about your car.
