Top-notch academics with a fun, friendly, family-run vibe, in a lively town by the sea. Their homemade chocolate brownies are excellent. Mary Shelley, the author of Frankenstein is buried in a graveyard in Bournemouth’s town centre, JRR Tolkien, author of Lord of the Rings used to holiday here AND Christian Bale (Batman) grew up only 2 roads away from BEET! And another fact for you: Shelley wrote Frankenstein while she was living in Geneva!
