HG visited The Old Swan #HappyYorkshireDay01 Aug 2014

Getting that combination between work and leisure is pretty hard, I would even say sometimes almost impossible. So why not do both? Hospitality Guaranteed along with other agents attended The Old Swan, on Friday 25th July, to experience Classic Lodges at its best. Arriving Friday night with the sun still beating it was the perfect setting for Pimm’s in the front garden, a marquee and BBQ. As hosts The Old Swan couldn’t have been better. With complimentary pre-drinks in hands, looking up at the front of the hotel with 200 years of heritage and bright green ivory running up the walls; it was breath taking. We thought to ourselves- ‘this is the life’.  The history you feel from the outside of the building is nothing compared to the overwhelming sense of heritage inside the hotel itself. Even if you don’t know the history of the building, you get a sense of romance and mystery radiating throughout the rooms. Imagine Victorian finery with contemporary luxury…

As a safe haven for the mistress of crime-writing, Agatha Christie, who famously disappeared for 11days to The Old Swan in 1926, why not escape into this tranquil setting for a weekend away? Or, with a choice of rooms that can cater for the smallest board meeting or up to 300 for conference, why not mix work with pleasure and enjoy the atmosphere The Old Swan offers you.

The last things you want to do during the summer holidays is sit through a monthly marketing meeting or attend a training course you have to endure every year. But Harrogate is the best location for this! Just on the doorstep of The Old Swan you have the elegant Spa Town of Harrogate with the exquisiteness of Yorkshire Dales to explore. After the meeting, treat yourself to some homemade fudge, indulge and enjoy the stunning scenery of historic buildings.

Hospitality Guaranteed would like to thank Classic Lodges and the staff at The Old Swan for a brilliant experience and lovely weekend! We hope to see you again soon!
