Lots to do nearby , Jimmy's Farm and Alton water (cycled around). Would love to return. Maybe in Summer and use the big outside table. Hide
Jade
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.
Renos
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.
Judith
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. One of the highlights was the cinema room where there is a cinema are plus of other electronic games to play with. We had a marvellous Karaoke session! We found the surrounding area delightful and interesting with a large variety of things to do. Our best holiday yet!
Rachel
Amazing facilities. Great place for a family get together.

John Arne
A really novel holiday experience which was unanimously enjoyed by our group.
Perry
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.
Patrick
Amazing place to stay with family

Would highly recommend the skyscraper. Finished to a highly standard. Has everything you need equipment wise. Location is great only 10-15 min taxi to the centre and no one close enough to worry about being to noisy. We had a great time here and would actually stay again.
