SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2024 SPECIAL: Inclusive trip to Jurassic Coast worth £35.
We offer a very competitive collection/return airport service and to/from local towns/places of interest.
Celebrating 12 years hosting in 2024, and we have a great year of daytrips and activities lined up for you!!
Our four bedroom house, is ideally situated within walking distance to the UK's No. 1 beach, short distances from the World Heritage Jurassic Coast, Stonehenge, Salisbury, Brighton, London, and Oxford. Relax on the beach, go paddleboarding, surfing, and kayaking. A short drive takes you to the New Forest where you can walk, hike, cycle, and horse ride. Bournemouth is a very cosmopolitan city so you can enjoy food from across the world, and great nightlife if you so wish.
We love the outdoors, so walking, cycling, paddleboarding are very much part of our daily life. We love to travel so we do many daytrips to London, Jurassic Coast, Stonehenge at weekends. We love board games, film nights, bingo evenings, ten pin bowling. Badminton is a passion of ours. We also attend numerous music concerts throughout the Summer.
Primarily, we are full time educators and hosts to International students and families wishing to experience a true "cultural immersion" UK experience. But we also cater for those just looking for a relaxing seaside vacation.

David was a very kind and helpful host. Thanks to him, I was able to spend a week comfortable and cozy. I will certainly booking here again. Once I got lost, I called David and he brought me by car. I don't know how grateful I was and how relieved I was.
If you're looking for a homestay that you can enjoy without any problems during your stay, I think this is the perfect place.

My experience with David has been really good. His home is the perfect place if you want to improve your English. Not only is he a native but also a teacher who knows how to deal with people learning a new language. I've learnt a lot with him while having an enjoyable time during my visit to England.

The stay was great. If you’re social anxious like me, staying with David is a good choice. I was a bit worried at first because his profile says he’s very outgoing but everything was fine. He’s very thoughtful and takes great care in maintaining the cleanliness and requests of his guests.
How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
When can I share my contact details?
