This place was truly amazing!! The location is great, the design is exception, it was immaculately clean, the entertainment areas were fantastic and it's all within a water tower which adds to it's character. I couldn't recommend this place enough and we had a fantastic long weekend to celebrate a milestone birthday.

Getting all the kids and grandkids together in a great venue was a terrific time had by all. Lift doesnt stop at every floor though. 9 double bedroom, terrific roof terrace, large cinema, 2 gaming areas, a significant lounge, huge kitchen diner, and a basketball hoop. Friendly hosts. Nothing to complain about at all.

The Concrete Castle is absolutely amazing. It has everything you need for a superb and varied holiday. We were a family of 16 with ages ranging from 8 years to 77 years old and the property addressed all our needs.

The Skyscraper offers everything you need for a wonderful break. If you want peace and quiet your isolated but 10 minutes away from The Freetown Boot which is very good. If you want to be a bit more lively there is everything you need to have a great time including a disco system. I cannot recommend the property highly enough and the fact that we n ever had to contact the owners once during the stay highlights the excellent organisation.
