Your Hotel: The Old Swan, Harrogate
Surrounded by picturesque lawns and gardens, The Old Swan was once the
famous retreat of Agatha Christie. Originally an 18th-century coaching inn, it
now features rooms with tea and coffee-making facilities, a TV and trouser
press. 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 centre,
the building is 5 minutes’ walk from the famous Betty’s Tearoom and 15 minutes
from Harrogate Railway Station
