    The rooms, while nice and clean, were a little dated, but comfortable...

    The food and service in the restaurant were great.

    Very close to Port Arthur. Best of all was the quality and choice of meals. Great view from the unit. A bit dated but the location, meals and friendly staff make up for it.

    No outdoor lighting. Very unsafe of a night trying to park in the dark and access rooms upstairs in the dark. Definitely a risk hazard. Don’t think the floor has ever been cleaned under the vanity.

    No issues at all for us.

    The room was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. We had excellent views of the water and trees. The food in the pub was good value and had good sized portions. The two staff members we encountered were friendly, polite and attentive. We also enjoyed a couple of drinks by the log fire in the pub. We observed a number of negative reviews about the Fox and Hounds, but we are all positive on it. I wonder if some people wanted, or were expecting, a 5 star experience for 3 star prices.

    Only found out a couple of days before arrival that bistro and bar was closed. Carpet on the floor would make the room more cosy, it felt cold and the bed moved.

    Location was perfect for the night I stayed. Beautiful outlook from the room.

    We booked the accommodation to get the full experience from their bar & restaurant as well so didn't have to go out. When we arrived we found out the restaurant & bar were closed, nothing was said to us about this in any form of communication. We went around to our room, had to go up the stairs & along the deck, which were really slippery from the dew, unsafe. Very disappointed & wont be back. Value for money was horrible.

    Being so close to Port Arthur so we could do the Ghost Tour. Style of the buildings.

    The hotel's bar and restaurant were closed for renovations (not notified).

    The room was basic but comfortable. We were close to the Port Arthur site which was our reason for being here. Bottle water was supplied as the water supply wasn't suitable for drinking.

    Went to restaurant for dinner, ordered the special of the night and very disappointed. could use a good chef and more staff

    Being in Port Arthur accommodation is limited. The room was old and the ceiling light has missing shades. Funny set up with shower toilet in one room and opposite the basin and fridge. we had a room with view over the river but the people walking past could see in.

    We were told when we got there that the restaurant and bar were closed for renovations. Surely we could have received a notification of this.

    The view of the water from the window and the proximity to the port Arthur Historical site.
