Annual pilgrimage

We make an annual trip to fox n hound. The location is great for exploring the area, staff is friendly and rooms are consistently clean. The hotel is dated but we find that’s part of the charm of the trip. Terrific views from sea side rooms.

Nice place, interesting building, great view from room. Non drinkable water in room, yellowish water from shower, no coherent explanation why.

The facility needs significant improvement.
Qi, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The water issue wasn’t a problem for us, it’s just tea tree stained dam water. The view was amazing and bed was comfy. Our room could definitely do with a good clean and this hotel has the potential to be 4 stars with some love.

Willa, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Stayed two nights whilst visiting Port Arthur. Close to Port Arthur Historical site. Breakfast options were basic but there is an IGA approximately 10-15 minutes drive away to purchase your own breakfast foods. Evening meal was good. Comfortable beds and clean facilities.
Samantha, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The food onsite was delightful and we were found it so convenient after a hectic day. The lady that checked us in was wonderful and helpful.
Tina, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good value. Pleasant team

My comments reflect a time only a few weeks after new owners took over. It was a well appointed, spacious apartment. The location is beautiful. The furniture and fittings are a little tired. I would have liked to know about the water issue - we would have brought supply to prevent the need to use so many plastic bottles. The restaurant as comfortable and adequate, pleasant and enthusiastic staff. Limited menu if you have dietary needs.
Emma, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was clean, was not keen on Lino floor only because of cool weather, limited room in car park to manoeuvre car to park, meal very nice, staff friendly
Grant, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not as advertised - brown tap water

The room bathroom and kitchenette were not clean. The water in the room was not processed and was brown in colour. This was very off putting and we chose to forego a shower during our stay. The onsite restaurant was overpriced and the food was of average quality. I would encourage other travellers to seek alternative accommodation even if it means having to travel further afield.

The staff were helpful and kind. They helped us get around the area and made us feel comfortable in the town.
