Accommodation in an English home
We believe that living in an English home is the best immersive experience.
We are proud of our kind, welcoming hosts. They are an important part of your stay and one of the reasons our students return to us each year. We believe that living in an English home is the best immersive experience. The home that you live in is a very important part of your English experience and we want you to learn all about English family life, English customs and food while you are here in Exeter! It means you experience our country, our culture. It is the most effective way to improve your conversational English too!
Living in a welcoming, local home in Exeter is an invaluable immersion experience where you learn about English life and how to use social English in day-to-day situations. Sarah, the Principal, visits and carefully selects each of our homes herself because it is such an important part of your experience here.

Full-board accommodation every day = all meals. Breakfast, a packed lunch and evening meal from Monday to Saturday. Breakfast, lunch and an evening meal on Sunday. Your homestay will clean your room, change your bedding weekly and do light laundry while you are here (no dry cleaning). They will also provide you with towels while you are here in Exeter. We will provide you with a bus pass to travel to/from your homestay. This is included in your course fees. We will send you specific information before you arrive about your homestay in Exeter with specific information, including the time it will take you to travel from school. You will not have to travel for more than 40 minutes to get home.
How do I choose the best home for you?
“I visit all our English homes in Exeter and select kind, welcoming hosts for our students. I inspect their home and talk to them. I ask myself: “Would I be happy to place a teenage child of my own here? If the answer is yes, I collect personal references and carry out police checks on everyone over the age of 18 living in the home. When all of the checks are completed successfully, they become a home for our students.” Sarah Tomlinson.
