    Accommodation

    Available accommodation

      In this location, you can stay with a local homestay host and receive a fully immersive English experience. Hosts are native English speakers and will speak only English to you in the home; you’ll also have access to English-language television, radio, and magazines, which will complement your classroom tuition and show you exactly how the language is used in real-life situations.

      Rooms are available on a half-board basis, meaning breakfast and dinner is included each day as part of the accommodation package. This gives you guaranteed interaction with your hosts in the evening, which is a great opportunity for extra language practice! You will have a private single or twin* bedroom and share the home’s communal spaces like the living room and bathroom with your host(s) and any other students in the home. ‘Plus’ rooms with private bathroom access are available on request. Special diets can be accommodated on request and may incur a surcharge. Bed linens and a weekly laundry service are included in the accommodation package. You will have your own key to come and go as you please, but you must respect house rules and schedules.

      *Twin rooms are only available to two students travelling together.


      Activities

      Activities are arranged every week in order for you to socialise with other students, get a taste of the local culture, practise your English and completely enjoy yourself! Examples of activities include: dinners in restaurants, quizzes, pub nights and trips to the cinema, to museums or to the theatre, amongst many others! Our school also organises regular excursions to local places of interest and further afield such as London, the Isle of Wight, Oxford, Stonehenge and Cambridge!
