    That the kitchen closes at 7:30 PM we got back from our ghost tour at 7:43 PM and couldn't get anything to eat.

    We chose the fox and hound due to its proximity to the Port Arthur Historic Site. Room was clean and comfortable, had a great view overlooking the Bay. the main Tavern Short distance from the room, serving lunch and dinner. We had the roast for lunch, delicious and huge serving, I felt bad I couldn't eat it all. Be aware that the kitchen closes 7:30 pm and No breakfast available, so make sure you take your own food. However they do provide take away coffees in the mornings.

    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.
