Still quintessentially English and just as fashionable as it was in the 1950s, the English Riviera continues to attract discerning visitors as it did all those years ago. To celebrate a particular ‘50s milestone this coming June – The Queen’s Coronation, the Cary Arms, a de Savary Property, has created an exclusive ‘50s style package, allowing guests a chance to experience a little corner of Devon as enjoyed by another Queen – the Queen of Crime!
A two-day yesteryear Riviera experience, guests will spend a day in a chauffeur-driven classic London Taxi, visiting key places that played a significant role in Agatha Christie’s many thrilling stories, including the sets of her famous detective, Hercule Poirot and the lovable Miss Marple. The highlight will be a drive out to Greenway – Agatha’s former beloved holiday home overlooking the River Dart and where many of her stories were created. Carrying on with the ‘50s theme, a picnic hamper filled with modern, as well as traditional Coronation favourites as enjoyed by the cognoscenti of their day, will include; Coronation Chicken Salad; Homemade Scotch Eggs; Egg & Watercress Sandwiches; Fairy Cakes; Cloudy Lemonade, as well as Champagne to toast!
The two-night 1950s Coronation Experience is priced at £740, based on two people sharing and is available until 31st October 2013 and includes:
- Two nights Luxury accommodation, with a welcome decanter of Sloe Gin and traditional tablet
- Daily Full English Breakfast
- A day’s excursion in a privately chauffeured classic London Taxi, with a retro-style ‘50s picnic hamper
- Tickets to Greenway
- Agatha Christie Mile, followed by Afternoon Tea at The Cary Arms – a self-guided mile involving a walk along Torquay seafront, which sets the challenge of finding seven unique plaques relating to her life along the way.
