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.

Lovely position close to the things we wanted to visit. Very comfortable suite and great breakfast.
Lift too small for me-luckily we were on the first floor.

Location and restaurant seemed like going back in time.
Seemed impersonal. Staff weren't welcoming at reception or at breakfast. Not enough tea for two guests at breakfast and no apology when asked.

Room was excellent , Hot breakfast is self service, some of the items were a bit dried up, although plenty of choice, together with Continental. Location ideal, town approx 10 minutes walk.
Parking was twelve pounds extra local Council policy, they obviously need the money.

Fantastic location and lovely staff. Great parking. Amazing breakfast.
Rooms looked a bit tired. Also very hot room and slightly smelt of drains (disappeared after I ran the taps, shower and flushed the toilet a few times).

Good range of breakfast options.
Parking options are a bit odd - explanation of why there's a high charge for parking in the grounds (i.e. environmental reasons - to put people off driving) would be handy.

Good location
Paying for parking, the hotel has two large car parks and they still charge £12.00 to park. The 20% service charge is applicable even if you have booked DBB, we didn’t order drinks or room service and were still charged 20% of whatever our DBB meals were, well I am guessing that because nothing is explained. I would advise people to ask all questions at reception before you even take a key and check in

The original interior of the building has been faithfully restored. Efficient and polite staff
The whole building and the bedroom were far too hot

Location. Fine breakfast. Well appointed public rooms.
The bedrooms could do with a little TLC. Also at least a queen, or even - at a push - a King size bed would have been nice.
