Annual pilgrimage

We make an annual trip to fox n hound. The location is great for exploring the area, staff is friendly and rooms are consistently clean. The hotel is dated but we find that’s part of the charm of the trip. Terrific views from sea side rooms.

Property had lovely views of the lake at the rear. Room was tidy but ants on the counter top. Very dated and in need of an update. Staff not adequately trained and told us and others that they were open for breakfast at 7.30 when they weren't. Luckily the service station was open as not a lot of options in Port Arthur
