The Old Swan Hotel
The hotel dates back to 1840 but became famous as the hiding place for Agatha Christie during her disappearance in 1926. It was also the location of the film 'Agatha' starring Dustin Hoffman and Vanessa Redgrave in 1977. Rating 4: the locality is fairly level. There are steps to the main entrance but there is an alternative side entrance. There is a lift to all floors and there are a few steps in the corridor leading to some rooms.
