I love the Tudor style, olde English feel. The room was comfortable, quiet and clean. The view to the bay from the big windows is beautiful. The staff were friendly and service fuss free. Thanks for having us🙏

There was no tea towels, bath mat or hand towel/flannel supplied. The bathroom floor was very slippery. Bunk beds not very comfortable but we had a lovely meal in the restaurant

The bathroom window wouldn’t close all the way (a screen on the very top that lets in constant cold air). Big gab under the front door (more cold air). No sink in the bathroom to wash your hands or brush your teeth, it is in the kitchen area. The running water is yellow/brown in color. The TV stand was covered in dust. The bed frame is on rolls and has no breaks (you basically roll all over the room). Finally we had a roach come across the room at bedtime. The food in the restaurant was way overcooked and overpriced :( The property is also not located in town, which the listing didn’t really specify. Overall it was super disappointing, after it looked so promising on Expedia.

I love a bit of history!
The Fox and Hounds is a great place to stay to explore Port Arthur. The hotel is warm and welcoming, the rooms clean and comfortable. The view from our window was lovely and we were able to watch the sun rise in the morning from the comfort of our bed! Having a bar and restaurant attached was a bonus.
