Surprise husbands 60

I booked this for our family for a surprise for my husbands 60th. We had a long weekend and it was close by for us but what an amazing place. Thoroughly enjoyed by all we had a great time and would certainly go back - also had a private chef for one day which finished the weekend off

About the host

Hosted by James Wright

Host profile image
My wife and I both have strong family roots in this area and still have family living close by. Although work and children of our own have taken us a little further afield, the Shotley Peninsula will always feel like home and is why we continue to appreciate the countryside. We love that we are able to share this special place with our guests.

Why they chose this property

The Concrete Castle is part of our family run business. We have over 10 years experience owning and running luxury self catering accommodation in Suffolk which started at Swilland Mill. Looking to expand our successful business and with a background in building and renovating, Freston Water Tower caught our eye.

Built in the 1950’s this prominent building was redundant for decades and is also close to our hearts in that it is situated on the Shotley Peninsula, close to Holbrook where we both grew up. The idea to transform this empty old building into an amazing place to stay took 5 years to become reality. We have meticulously restored and created the luxurious property it has now become and we are extremely proud that new life has been brought to this fantastic and imposing landmark that dominates the landscape.

What makes this property unique

The Concrete Castle offers far more than just luxury accommodation - it offers a unique holiday experience. Anything but conventional, the tower allows large groups to occupy different areas or even floors so that every guest can enjoy their own individual experience as well as making memories with their family or friends. The spacious nature of the property allows everyone to 'do their thing' and with 7 floors to choose from there is something for everyone.
