Accommodation

At Peartree we understand the importance of finding suitable accommodation when preparing for your language course.

As part of our service we are able to arrange ‘home stay’ accommodation, living with a local host family close to the school.

As a ‘homestay’ student you will be considered as a member of a British family, which will offer you unique insight into local culture and way of life. Students also find that due to the total immersion in English language, they improve quicker that they otherwise might have done.

Minimum stay = 1 Week
Maximum stay = 1 Academic Year
Your safety is our main concern and we take great care to only work with host families of the highest quality who provide a personal touch to your experience.

  • We personally visit and check every homestay family to ensure the family meets our high standards
  • Homestay students are sent a questionnaire before arriving to help us match you with the best possible family
  • We provide you with a handbook upon arrival with details of what to do in emergency situations, including an emergency phone number of a Peartree Languages staff member.

What you can expect from your homestay family:

  • You can choose between two homestay options – 1) Full homestay including breakfast and evening meal 2) Limited homestay with room only (no meals), full access to kitchen facilities.
  • You will receive a detailed description of the family before you arrive, including phone number, email address, postal address – this information will only be issued AFTER deposits have been received by Peartree Languages (see terms and conditions ).
  • You will be collected from Cardiff train or bus station upon arrival and taken to your host family home.
  • On your first day at the school your host will give you full directions to and from Peartree Languages.
