2/10 Poor

The property was located close to the Port Arthur Historical site and meals at the restaurant were good. However, the property was dirty, the rooms looked tired and our kitchen window did not lock.

Donna, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Location was great and we chose this place for its look of a country pub. However the dining area was closed and we would have appreciated a bit of notice about this as we would have looked to stay elsewhere. This caused us to have to drive to a different location for dinner. I also think they need to upgrade the TV channels as if we're restricted to sit in our room a few more channels (more than 4) or the ability to sign in to Netflix etc... would be nice.

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.
