My wife and I have just stayed over night at the Fox and hounds Inn Port Arthur. I don't know why people are saying it is so bad as they have new showers and basins in the rooms now and the rooms have all been painted and all new curtains and new bedding plus Leather lounge in the room and... More

I had already booked our room before reading the reviews, so I tried to change the booking but was unable to. The room was a bit dated, beds uncomfortable and the bed linen smelt musty. The location is lovely though and with a decent updating and renovation could be really lovely. Until things change however, I won't stay there again.... More

On arrival the Fox and Hounds Inn looked beautiful from the outside but it stopped there. On entering the room, it had a very musty smell which meant we had to open all the windows wide. The room was well appointed though and the location was lovely. We chose to eat dinner there which was also a disappointment. The soup... More

Bypass this & go on to Port Arthur. It looked great from the website, but we now wished we'd stayed at the Port Arthur Villas (similar rate). We ate at the restaurant rather than drive the short distance to Port Arthur. Altho' the meal was excellent, the staff were a bit disinterested. There was no restaurant for breakfast & we... More

The motel style room we stayed in was a reasonable size, clean and simply furnished. I would have expected a bit better for the price we paid. There's a small bottle shop on site with lower prices than the minibar in the room. As there is nothing else around unless you're prepared to drive we ate in the restaurant -... More

This was the worst meal we had in Tasmania – and we were there for 10 days so there was ample opportunity for it to be beaten. I ordered the warm salad – on the day in question it was a warm beef salad – I had thought it may be like a Thai beef salad, but was open to... More
