The package links guests to 12,000 Christie items and sites tied to Poirot, Miss Marple and Dead Man's Folly.
- An Agatha Christie-themed package from the Cary Arms and Spa in Babbacombe Bay includes a two-and-a-half hour walking tour of the English Riviera, where guide Graham explains how Torquay inspired the author's novels.
- Christie's work as a pharmacist during the two world wars provided her with deep knowledge of poisons, while settings like Greenway, a grand Victorian house above the River Dart, influenced her writing.
- Graham explains how tidal Burgh Island served as the setting for "And Then There Were None," while the picturesque village of Cockington inspired Miss Marple's home, St Mary Mead.
- Guests at the hotel, known as the "Inn on the Beach," can relax with the Poirot classic "Dead Man's Folly," included in the special package while overlooking the scenic Devon Coast.
- The site holds 12,000 items and books, with a history dating to the 16th century when an older boathouse served to bring ashore 166 Spanish prisoners of war from the Spanish Armada.
