Accommodation for Group visits to the UK - short stay (mini sejours) and school groups

If you are planning to bring a Group to the UK, whether it's a school or adult group, we are able to offer an accommodation service that will see all your members staying in comfortable and relaxing family homes.

As all travellers know, there is no better way to discover what a country has to offer than staying with people that live there. So we have a large selection of families that provide this welcoming environment, on a full or half board basis, in locations across the south east of England including:

• Shoreham by Sea and Southwick
  
• Hove and Portslade
  
• Shoreham Beach and Lancing
• Steyning & Storrington
  
• Ashington and Horsham
• Rochester
• Eastbourne (on request)

All of these locations are within easy reach of the UK main ferry ports, motorway networks and London. All of our centres have free coach parking.

Full board or Half board options

We are able to offer Full Board or Half Board accommodation options. A full board option includes breakfast, lunch and dinner on each day, whereas the half board accommodation provides breakfast and evening meal. On the day of departure we are also able to offer the option of a “ Packed Supper” should you have a long journey home.

Arriving by plane

For those planning to arrive by air, all of our accommodation is ideally placed for arrivals from Gatwick and Heathrow airports. We are able to book an English coach to
transport to your accommodation and/or drive you around throughout your stay.

Drivers/Group leaders accommodation

We appreciate that some Group leaders and drivers may prefer to stay in a local guest house rather than a family home and therefore we are able to organise this for you.

Add English lessons to the experience

In addition to providing excellent accommodation, our Short-Stay Groups are offered with the option of English Lessons at our School in Southwick, Sussex.    These lessons are tailored specifically for your Groups and focus on conversation and confidence in speaking English and combined with staying in a family home will really help to progress English language skills quickly. Our experienced tutors are able to provide 3 or 4 hours of lesson over a period of 1, 2 or 3 mornings.

Include an English school day in to your visit

We are able to offer school groups the opportunity to spend a day at an English junior or secondary school where you can take part in school activities including lessons, sports and lunch. If you would like to add this to your itinerary it can be booked March to June and September to October by contacting us.

Over 20 years experience of Short-Stay Groups

We have been running Short-Stay Groups for adults and schools for over 20 years and have built up a strong selection of Host families that are regularly reviewed to ensure the highest standards are offered. In addition to the accommodation they also collect and deliver the visitors to the coach each day so there is one less thing for you to orrganise.

What's more throughout the stay our Local Co-ordinators will meet your Groups twice daily to answer questions and/or resolve any issues that may arise as we want to make their stay perfect.
