"Lovely little stay at the Fox and Hounds - quaint and relaxed vibe which was exactly what we’d hoped for. The menu is home style in the restaurant which is exactly what you need in the nippy Tasmanian climate. The bar did not make cocktails but had good options for beer and wine - the lovely waitress was keen to try making them though which was lovely."
