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.

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.

22nd July - 12th August 2012: £50 supplement per week on the standard fee.

Please note, the Olympic Games are being hosted in London from 22nd July - 12th August 2012.
