​Our home-stay families are:

 

  • Of a High Standard. We regularly meet all the families and our Accommodation Officer regularly visits and inspects all homes.

  • Warm & Welcoming.  They are open-minded people who take both a pride and pleasure in sharing their knowledge of the English language as well as the history and culture.

  • Matched to Participants: Wherever possible we match individual preferences to our home-stay families and we also provide profiles of all home-stay family homes. 

 

Please Note:

  • The costs are per week 7 nights, (if participants wish to stay longer there is a £35 per night charge).

  • Participants attending with their families may wish to stay in privately organised, self-catering accommodation. If this is the case, the cost of accommodation is taken off the full programme cost. Please let us know if you wish to arrange your own accommodation and we will send a revised quote. We have a list of several Bed and Breakfast, self-catering, Air BnB, and hotel facilities which we are happy to send if needed.
