“My host family were wonderful and we became very good friends. I hope to visit them again next year.”

Akiko, Japan

Our homestay accommodation is excellent value from ONLY £200 per week with ALL MEALS

Most of our host families are an easy walk from the school.

Our families are very welcoming. Students often come back to stay with the same family!

Your host family will meet you when you arrive in Exeter.

They will give you breakfast, packed-lunch and dinner every day.

All our homestays are inspected regularly and they all follow the English UK ‘Homestay Code of Practice’.

We realise that your homestay experience is extremely important, and we take care to make sure that you enjoy every part of your experience with your host family.

We know all host families personally and have regular contact with them. Many of them have partnered with us for many years and take great pleasure in hosting our students, remaining friends for life.

We choose them because they offer comfortable, friendly, pleasant home stays and they will give you help and support and provide you with tasty meals, warmth, comfort and good company – as we say in English  ‘a home from home.’ 

We realise that your homestay experience is extremely important, and we take care to make sure that you enjoy every part of your experience with your host family.
