Host Family

We have carefully selected each of our host families to ensure excellent standards with good food and comfortable accommodation.  

Host families are familiar with taking adult students, so you will have the freedom to come and go as you choose. Most importantly, you will feel welcome in the family home and practice English throughout your stay.

The average travel time to and from the school is 45 minutes.  You can purchase a Student  Travel Ticket for the bus & train.  You will recieve information about this on your first day of school. 

The host family will provide half board accommodation i.e. breakfast and evening meal.  If you have any special dietry requirements, you should inform us of this before you arrive so we can select the most suitable family for you.

You can choose to have your own single bedroom or share with another student, just let us know your requirements at the time of booking.  The family will provide a fresh set of towels each week and change the bed linen once per week. The family will also include your basic laundry items, such as, jeans, tee-shirts etc. once per week. 

We also guarantee that there will be no more than one nationality per family (one Spanish speaker, One French speaker etc.) so you should not be tempted to speak your own language whilst staying with the host family ! 

You will be advised of your host family address and details before your arrival in Ireland.  You can arrive on either a Saturday or Sunday – Depart also on a Saturday or Sunday.  Check with us first, should you wish to arrive on a week day.
