Fantastic Stay
We were a group of 14 adults having a week away together. The house was quirky, and Georgina & Mark were very friendly and informative. The rooms were spacious, and overall we had a wonderful time

A Fantastic Break - In a Unique setting
We are a Family group of 3 generations - 15 of us in total - We stayed in August for a week and had the mixture of weather a British Summer can deliver (Mixed!) the hot tub, indoor heated pool, extensive grounds and indoor space meant we never felt a victim of the elements - Rower Fort is tucked away and feels very calm and private - but is close to some excellent sea side resorts and we easily got food delivered by supermarkets and takeaways - A truly memorable stay and Mark and Georgina were Excellent hosts .... Needless to say we are planning our return visit

Fort Rower Stay
The hosts were welcoming, helpful and pleasant. The house was bizarre in the extreme but interestingly quirky. The pool was great for the kids and adults alike. The jacuzzi was a bit difficult to access for the older members of the family and the controls were also a bit of a chore but we managed in the end. We enjoyed our stay and would be happy to go back there.

Second visit
We came here 15 years ago for a family get together and really glad we came back again for a similar event. The property was big enough for 15 of us (mostly adults) with the kitchen and lounge great hubs for spending time together. The house is really interesting and quirky, well equipped and has the benefits of the hot tub on the roof (what a view) and the fab swimming pool. Georgina and Mark were fab hosts, super helpful and answered all our questions really quickly. Fab!

A unique, fun, perfect home for a special family gathering.
To celebrate a number of family birthdays (a special 70th and 40th, plus a 44th, delayed 40th, and an 8th) we chose Rower Fort because it just looked like a fun house, with everything we could have asked for to keep everyone happy. Georgina and Mark, our hosts, we’re so welcoming, helpful and friendly, and instantly made us feel at home. From the big cosy kitchen, to the fun bedrooms with Moroccan and Indian decor, the football table, the luxurious Moroccan style swimming pool, and the rooftop hot tub, we wanted for nothing. The kitchen was well equipped and cosy, and the Aga great for cooking, and drying clothing. We couldn’t have had a more enjoyable and memorable time, and were sad to leave. Thank you so much Georgina and Mark.

Family Fun Weekend
Great property for a family weekend - so private. Very quirky house but comfy - kitchen was the hub of the house. Great bbq but the outside sitting area bit untidy - didn’t affect us as too wet to sit outside!!! The pool was a big success

40th birthday celebration
We stayed at the folly for a long weekend as a group of family and friends to celebrate a 40th birthday (with an age range of over 70 to under 2). The hot tub on the tower and pool were definitely highlights. The folly was comfortable with some lovely quirky spaces and well equipped for large groups. We hired a private chef for a celebration dinner which worked really well. Georgina and Mark were fantastic hosts, very helpful and accommodating both before and during our stay. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We definitely recommend staying here and would love to stay again.

Fun and memorable weekend in rural Devon
My family and I really enjoyed our long awaited pre-Easter break at Rower Fort in rural Devon. Georgina and Mark were very welcoming and the Fort is a wonderful and quirky place to stay. Lots of different rooms all unusually decorated. My family loved the indoor pool and the kitchen was a great space for family dining. A few things in the kitchen were not quite up to standard, such as the toaster only half working, but this could easily be fixed. I felt the roof top jacuzzi wasn’t a great experience as only part of it worked at any one time. I assumed it had been damaged by mis-use over time. With a little TLC I’m sure Rower Fort could be the excellent holiday home it deserves to be!
