Surrounded by picturesque lawns and gardens, The Old Swan was once the famous retreat of Agatha Christie. It offers modern rooms with private bathrooms and on-site car parking. Originally an 18th-century coaching inn, it now features rooms with tea and coffee-making facilities, a TV and trouser press. Some also have a stand-alone bath and views over the garden. The traditional Swan Lounge and Bar offers a selection of beverages and afternoon teas, while the Wedgewood and Library restaurants serve fresh, locally sourced dishes. The Old Swan was home to Agatha Christie during her disappearance in 1926, and has since been used as a film set for the 1979 film, Agatha. Just a short walk from Harrogate town center, the building is 5 minutes’ walk from the famous Betty’s Tearoom and 15 minutes from Harrogate Railway Station.

Room was nice and clean, and had everything we needed. Good location, and managed to park in the streets nearby.
The bed was on wheels so even just sitting up in bed against the headboard it would slide off down the room.

Wonderful
The staff were courteous and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Was lovely to be able to sit in the comfortable seats in the bar and just chill out without feeling that you had to drink and move. Did not try the restaurant but will try it next time.
Floor was slanted in the the bedroom and felt the parking was a little expensive but there was nothing else.

Very Poor
The first impression was lovely from out side and in the reception too,car was good then the nightmare began.
The room the layout was appalling no bed side cabinet to put a drink on,phone or the tv remote all at to go on the floor to switch the light on at night you would knock the phone off it’s cradle ,to switch the light on above the bed was a joke ok if you’re arms were 4foot long.If the manager reads this review he should go to room 367to have a look at the lay out and put his hand on his heart and say yes I would not be satisfied with this room.
