The Gables is a first class coaching establishment for the sons of gentlemen wishing to enter the professions.  The proprietor, Harold Stackhurst, a former well-known rowing blue, is ably supported by several excellent masters who specialise in a wide range of subjects.  The location of the school is ideal, being situated on the Sussex Downs, not far from the coast.

I believe that... possibly... Mr. Sherlock Holmes resides in the vicinity too..? *organises omnibus-load of fangirls*

He is extremely reclusive, but there is now a teashop in the village, called "Holmes Sweet Holmes" which we can recommend.

Sounds ideal...and so safe:-)
I will make sure the young master packs his bathing costume.

Extremely safe. And swimming in the rock pools will prove invigorating.

Wonderful:-)

It does sound nice. The young men must appreciate the peace and quiet of the sea-side and access to first-rate honey.

Even if the young men don't appreciate the peace and quiet, their parents appreciate the lack of distractions from their studies.

The swimming coach is a bit overbearing at times, however - not all the barbs are in his quips.

He just needs to be treated with the proper respect.

Sounds quite idyllic... do they have bees?

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Although the establishment itself does not have bees, there are opportunities locally if anyone wishes to study them.

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

Very reassuring. Hopefully they are gregarious bees and not the other type.

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

As far as we know they are gregarious, but as with all living creatures they need to be treated with respect.
