Fabulous location: amazing views of countryside, but close enough to the coast. Accommodation was comfortable (beds amazingly so), lots of games and activities for children, and of course the pool and hot tub which were very well used. Our hosts Mark and Georgina were very helpful and accommodating, and communicated really well. Highly recommended. Simon and family. ##### Simon W.

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. ##### Chris H.

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. ##### Philip A.

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! ##### Cathy L.

With family and friends this property certainly fulfilled all our requirements and expectations making for an excellent weekend. The swimming pool and hot tub were extensively used by all and the kitchen area and lounge area gave that friendly party feeling where everyone could be at the same time with plenty of room . All the bedrooms were completely different and it was difficult to choose which to stay in. The interior had many quirky items that even included an ex prison cell door among too many to list. Although the property is located in a remote quiet area there were tremendous views with great walks for the dogs. Our hosts were away on holiday for our arrival but all was taken care of and we were able to meet them when we were departing. We would have no hesitation in recommending this property and judging by the visitors book comments many others have said the same. Excellent venue, Excellent host and a great stay. ##### DENIS P.

Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pat L. 26 May 2019 #### Magical & Unforgettable Venue Words can’t really do it justice but I will just say that Rower Fort seated at the top of a hill with amazing views in every direction is an ideal & very special & unique destination for a large group of friends & family including children & dogs. You walk in through the entrance porch into a fabulous welcoming kitchen which despite it’s size manages to feel cosy, with the biggest kitchen table I have ever seen & a great oil fired Aga & a separate electric cooker. Huge American style fridge freezer & separate large fridge. There is loads of comfy seating in the lounge & a further smaller lounge/games room. Both rooms have huge inglenooks. The style of the house is an eclectic mix with furnishings collected from all over the world. There is a strong Moroccan influence especially in the swimming pool building. The beds & bedding were sumptuous. The indoor pool is amazing & lovely & warm. The hot tub on the turret was so relaxing with 360 degree views of the surrounding countryside & sea on a clear day. The photos do not do it justice. Mark was great & extremely welcoming & very helpful with any answers to questions & practical help & advice, just a text message or call away. We went as a large family group to celebrate our sons 40th birthday & we couldn’t have chosen better. Thank you Mark & Georgina. ##### Pat L.
