Reviews of Fox and Hounds Inn from real guests
Show reviews that mention
- Excellent location
Amazing ”
Such a beautiful hotel, the room was very clean, warm and spacious. The staff were very friendly. We had dinner at the restaurant 2 nights and the food was lovely. We would definitely stay here again. Forgot to mention we had milllion dollar views of the water. 😊
Unique ”
Booked 4 villas mine was a musty smell asked to be relocated of which I was but electrics dodgy though heating good. Another room booked had no heating working. So many faults regardless of age of facility. Would not return or recommend! Much needed upgrade though garden surroundings are well kept. TRACEY was nice though 😊
Some Good Aspects”
The hotel is well located if you don't want to face a long drive after a day at Port Arthur. The hotel itself is very inviting and the motel rooms have some good aspects. You can forgive the discoloured water, the knee-high taps in the shower, the low water pressure, the lack of microwave oven and the weak WiFi coverage if you concentrate on the generous size of the room, the lovely bay view through the huge windows, the comfortable beds and the efficient heater. We enjoyed our night's stay and were pleasantly surprised with the complementary buffet breakfast.
Excellent”
Fox and the Hounds Inn is a decent hotel for the price. The staff is amazing, very kind and it is close to everything Port Arthur has to offer. Rooms and bathroom are a bit outdated. We could hear our neighbors through the walls. Overall it was a very pleasant experience.
Thank you for your comments. Pleased you enjoyed beautiful Port Arthur.
Nice atmosphere”
This is my second trip to Port Arthur and my second stay at this hotel. We had a lovely room with a beautiful water view. The restaurant sells wonderful food and huge servings. The hotel is very convenient to Port Arthur historic site and other local natural attractions. Great value.
Fantastic”
A very beautiful area, with rooms having big windows with view on the sea. Great staff, good breakfast. Definitely recommended.
Staying at Port Arthur”
We chose this hotel for it's quirkiness. The room was more than spacious, and we had a gorgeous view of the lake from our room. This is close to all you would go to see in Port Arthur. There was a lovely little bar area inside, but the best feature is the restaurant. The meals are fantastic, flavoursome and plenty. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The only thing is that it is that the property is a bit tired and really needs some TLC, that's why I only gave 4 stars for cleanliness. However for the money we paid it was fine.
Good food and fairly comfortable for a motel. Great view over water ”
Senior staff were very helpful but junior staff pretty ordinary. Food was good standard and reasonable price. Shower taps at bath level (no bath) so your head got instantly wet. We were greeted in the room by a big dead moth on the floor but otherwise cleanliness good.
Perfect location on the water”
We absolutely loved our stay at the Fox and Hounds. It was close to everything, we had the most fantastic view across the inlet/lake, room was generous and comfortable. Staff were friendly, great value for money and the food at the pub was great! Highly recommend!
Cottage Style Comfort”
No wonder big travel company brand uses this hotel. Lovely cottage style setting, English taste decor restaurant. What else could you ask for in Port Arthur. The room is clean and staff are helpful. Our room faces the quiet sea behind which provided beautiful sun rise view. Picturesque! You have to try a night there.
Great and close to historic site”
Loved the stay here. The architecture and look of the hotel is a total trip. Food was great in the bar. 3 minute drive to the Port Arthur historical site. The bar was great, and they have a bottle shop attached.
Great Location”
great location for the port arthur area with great access to the port arthur historic site which the entry fee gives you 2 days access which believe me you will need. the hotel is clean and in a good location - we were at the back of the hotel near the river which was a plus.
Excellent”

Exceptional”
Nice design and nice place. Very comfortable. Staff are nice and very helpful.
A nice clean room with a lovely view. Very close to Port Arthur historical site. ”
The WiFi in the room wasn’t very good. Apart from that everything was good.
Perfect for us!”
Charming old property and well worth staying at. Nearby everything and helpful and friendly staff. Rooms are a bit dated but comfortable and add to the character of the place.
Good”
The hotel was comfortable and relaxed for a dinner setting. The room was clean and had views straight from window to water. It is close to Port Arthur location. The staff that we communicated with were helpful and professional. We would stay there again.
Comfortable beds, great location, facilities are tired”
The Fox and the Hound is a great old English style pub. The motel rooms are clean and comfortable with some of the facilities a little tired and old. It was perfect for resting and enjoying a few alcoholic beverages after hiking for a few days but as there are limited choices around, the value for money is not as great. The staff were friendly and the area is beautiful to explore Tasmania.
Good weekend away”
Everything was OK - place is a tad tired & needs some money spending on it. Had a good meal & staff in the dining room on the Sat/Sat night were lovely.Rooms would probably of been a bit cold but we learnt from previous reviews & took a heater with us! For $125 a night - I would of expected shampoo & conditioner in the rooms. Pleasant stay.
