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.

The room was very nice. The location was perfect and breakfast was good.
The water in the shower was scorching hot and despite adjusting the temperature knob, it wouldn't change the temperature. If I had been staying longer, I would have told reception but it didn't seem worth it for 1 night (Room 148)

The room were dated and had very squeaky flooring. The bathroom was small and narrow with low water pressure. Breakfast was very disappointing, variety was poor and the staff seemed reluctant to replenish anything and everything which had been used up.

The breakfast was good with well cooked traditional English breakfast options.
The noise in the room from people walking along the corridor upstairs was very noisy. From 8am to 10pm constant floor boards creaking. The room decor was rather basic.

Hotel was comfortable and had a great location. Large bathroom with a bath.
Maybe a curtain over the bathroom window. Although the window was frosted it was right next to the toilet.
