      • bed and breakfast £170 per week
      • bed, breakfast and three evening meals £200 per week
      • bed, breakfast and evening meal every day (half board) £240 per week
      • occasional meals £13/meal

      Gold Homestay (private bathroom) rates (2012):

      Gold Homestay offers the same or better standards as Silver Homestay with the guarantee of a private bathroom:

      • bed and breakfast £245 per week
      • bed, breakfast and three evening meals £275 per week
      • occasional meals £13/meal

      Note that there is no 'evening meal every day' option with Gold Homestay.

      Note about Gold Homestay: It can sometimes be difficult for us to organise a gold homestay for an extended period (usually for more than about four to six weeks).  This is because:

      • Our hosts take students not just as a commercial transaction but because they give a genuine welcome.
      • Many of them have a very comfortable lifestyle which makes them likely to travel abroad or host friends in their home.  

      This means that they are not always available for long periods of time.  If it is not possible for us to find one gold homestay family for the duration of your stay, we will try to find two families to suit your needs.


      Platinum Homestay

      We can arrange a special category of Platinum homestay for a small number of clients each year. Clients will stay with one of our best Gold families and will spend a large amount of time with their hosts in the evenings and at weekends, which may include trips to social, cultural and leisure events with them and their families.

      Pricing will vary depending on what is included, so please contact us with your requirements.

      The following additional charges will apply.

      1st July - 2nd September 2012 (excluding 22nd July - 12th August): £20 supplement per week on the standard fee.

      All the family was very friendly and patient with me. The house was perfect, I felt like I was at home. Furthermore it was only a 15 minute walk to school.
