Accommodation
The Old Swan Hotel four-star
Situated in the heart of the beautiful historic spa town of Harrogate, this charming Victorian hotel offers a fantastic blend of Victorian splendour and elegant contemporary style. It caused a stir when Agatha Christie retreated here after famously disappearing for 11 days! This historic hotel is a perfect base for our Yorkshire walking break with our fellow Solos.
Facilities include:
Impressive Wedgwood restaurant, bar/lounge and free Wi-Fi.
Room includes:
Freeview TV and radio, tea/coffee-making facilities and hairdryer.

Essential Information
Location & Transport
The hotel is located off Junction 45 off the A1 and then exit onto the A661 to Harrogate. Harrogate station is 1 mile away. Car park is £12.00 per day per car. Parking is regulated by the Council and you must display a valid permit which can be collected from reception on arrival.
Gratuities
There is often confusion on the question of gratuities, since it frequently depends on the type of holiday, location and, of course, your attitude towards tipping, as to what is normally expected. In order to give you a rough idea, we have given appropriate guidance below. The Tour Leader will be on hand to offer advice or suggestions if required but gratuities are offered entirely at the sole discretion of the individual. We suggest a group collection at the beginning of your holiday to cover drivers, guides and hotel staff (including restaurant, kitchen and reception staff) of approximately £10.
Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip. The tipping of bar staff and housekeeping will be left to your individual discretion (the rounding up of the drinks bill and a small amount left in your room on departure should cover this and would be much appreciated). As is customary, ‘the hat’ will be passed around for the driver and guide on all optional excursions. For any meals that are not included in your itinerary, restaurants expect a 10% gratuity (do check that service has not already been added to your bill). For taxis 10% off the metered fare.
Dress Code
The dress code for during the day is casual. In the evenings the dress code is smart with gentlemen requested to wear a shirt and tie. Comfortable shoes for walking and sightseeing are recommended.
