    The restaurant is a bit pricey, but the staff are very friendly and the tavern is visually stunning

    Comfortable rooms, beautiful views if you get a window near the lake, free water in the rooms and they'll refill if requested

    The only thing I can finger point at is the outside windows needed a good clean to enjoy the water view.

    Love the historic feel and staff were fantastic. Being Port Arthur water was not on tap for drinking but was supplied bottled. Meals in the restaurant were fantastic.

    Very low standard of room furniture and fittings. I’m sure they would have had change from $100 for the lot.. They take a credit card on check in and then you can’t charge to room but have to pay as you go- why? Weird till system where food and drink transactions are separated even with the same server at the same time. This is stupid and annoying. Looking below the surface it is clear that this hotel is running on empty

    Location. A bay view room has lovely views. Well placed for local attractions. Bar/restaurant attractive but see below

    Probably the water issue, could have been a bit cleaner but wasn’t a huge issue.

    It’s different, something other than the usual type motel which was nice to experience.

    There is no tap drinking water, although bottle water is provided. Water is brown in colour. On arrival, I was told not to open windows due to insects. Mattress is very firm. Toilet did not flush adequately All of which took the shine off staying at The Fox & Hounds.

    Great location, close to Port Arthur penitentiary site. Sea view room outlook great, beautiful scenery.

    I couldn’t open the windows so no fresh air. Had to close bathroom door so the outside light wouldn’t come in at night. Shower was dripping so the shower head had to be turned upside down. Breakfast was average, food was pricey but understandable due to transport costs from Hobart. Stairs were narrow so large suitcases are difficult to get up and down when you stay on first floor.

    Close to the port Arthur historical site. Good dinners and lunches.

    The brown tap water that smelt but we were told it’s an area wide problem. I wouldn’t stay in the area again but would day trip it. Ordered 2 basic meals at the restaurant and they took over an hour, restaurant said it was because poor internet connection that they didn’t go through to the kitchen. and we were nearly late for a booked tour in the area.

    Fantastic location, ocean views, comfortable beds.

    Kitchen and bathroom and in general it was dated, the interior of the room could do with a lift and some freshening up. The restaurant food was ok, but a pricey for what it was, I’d eat elsewhere if staying again.

    I liked the look and the feel of the property. The view from the window was lovely. Loved how big the window was. Close to attractions!
