Homestay

ETC can arrange homestay accommodation for you if you would like to stay with a local host. Many students who come to study at ETC choose this option, because living with an English host is a good way to practise your spoken English outside the school. You will have a comfortable, clean room with a desk to study at. Accommodation is half-board during the week (bed, breakfast and evening meal) and full-board at weekends (bed, breakfast, lunch and evening meal).

All accommodation is available from Sunday to Sunday. ETC carefully selects homestays to ensure they are of high standard. We check them each year to ensure these high standards are maintained.

During high season single rooms for 16 & 17 year olds are very limited and are offered subject to availability, on a first come, first served basis.
Please Note: Single room accommodation for 16 &17 year olds is available in our adult residence from 13th July 2025.

If the student cancels with less than 1 week’s notice, a £100 fee and 1 week’s accommodation is payable. In order to comply with the 1 week cancellation policy, we must receive full payment and confirmation of your visa at least 1 week before your arrival. You must also confirm your flight arrival details and forward them to ETC staff prior to confirming your booking.

Private Home Accommodation is for students aged 18+ only, and the board is similar to Homestay. With this type of accommodation, it is likely that the ratio of students to host will be higher (usually up to 8 students).

This should not affect the amount of contact time that students have with the host, and students may find they enjoy the social opportunities that occur with being in this type of accommodation.

Executive homestay accommodation includes single room accommodation with private bathroom facilities, use of IT facilities and access to the Internet.
