We know how important it is to be happy where you are living so that you can get the most from your time in England. This is why we choose all student accommodation with special care. We offer three main types of accommodation.
Homestay
Living with a family gives students an ideal opportunity to learn about the English way of life. Students of different nationalities are often placed with the same host family to encourage spoken English. Host families provide a very homely environment and are all within easy walking distance of the school.
In the winter, students are accommodated in single rooms, unless they ask to share. In the summer, students under 18 years old are accommodated in a twin-bedded room.
All host families are carefully selected and many of them have worked with the school for many years.
We ensure:
• All host families are within easy walking distance of the school
• You will not be placed with another student of the same nationality
• Your room will be clean and comfortable with fresh bed linen and towels provided every week
Guest houses and hotels
As a major tourist destination, Bournemouth has a wide range of small hotels and guest houses available throughout the year. Guest houses are like small hotels, often family run, and offer great value for money. We annually inspect all of the guest houses and hotels which we recommend to ensure they meet our standards of quality and comfort. Further details are available on request.
Self-catering
Centrally located, fully equipped houses and flats are also available for students on longer courses. We are happy to provide you with contact details of available accommodation for the time you will be staying in England. Alternatively, we can arrange temporary lodgings for your first few weeks so that you can choose your own accommodation once you arrive.
Airport transfer service
There is easy access to Bournemouth from Gatwick, Heathrow, Southampton and Bournemouth airports by train, bus or taxi.
On request, we can arrange a personal welcome and taxi transfer to and from all London and local airports. Our school office can also advise on train and bus services to Bournemouth.
