“The Old Swan impresses with its literary history and prime location in Harrogate. The Wedgwood Restaurant, under a magnificent glass ceiling, enhances the dining experience. While some rooms reflect their remodelled origins, the overall value remains strong, especially for shorter stays in this historic setting.”
