Had to use bottled water for drinking and brushing teeth. I wouldn't shower as the water as the colour of black tea. The kitchen and bathroom seriously requires upgrading.

The Fox and Hounds looked and sounded impressive but our stay was disappointing. The spare blanket had not been cleaned and folded, insects on the benches, dirt behind the door, non potable water so there was bottled water (water and milk were both frozen solid) and the shower water was brown. Another room was offered but we declined as we had already unpacked and were tired from traveling all day. For what we paid the room was not up to standard. I could just imagine what overseas tourists think.

Lovely old tudor style English Inn. Beautiful surroundings, lovely rooms. Friendly staff. Would be great if they supplied breakfast.. even toast and tea. (To keep in with the old english theme) Great that they supplied water, as tap water was not suitable for drinking. Even tho most people had cars...a shuttle bus down to the Historic site would have been fabulous....even @ $5 pp. Meals are quite expensive but so are other places in Tasmania.

Friendly and comfortable. The water is not drinkable and is brown. Bottled water is provided for free for drinking and brushing teeth, however, we did not want to have a shower in the brown water. Otherwise, lovely views and restaurant, and friendly staff.

Great Hotel and great customer services
Great place, close to the historic site. We we upgraded when we checked in. A nice gesture without us even asking. They also were very accommodating when we realised we booked the wrong checkin date. Great PR and customer service.

Loved the look/presentation of the hotel on a whole. Staff were great. Check-in/out was a breeze. Room was clean and well presented. Service at the bar/dining area was great. The meals we had were excellent (I would come back just for the Guinness pie). Had meals on both nights of our stay, trying different foods for each. All we tried were beautifully presented, cooked fresh and very tasty.
