Where students stay

Stays that feel like home — not hotels.

From warm Irish host families to private apartments and dedicated teachers' accommodation, every option is vetted and visited by our team. Most students choose host families — and most of them say it was the best part of the trip.

Host families

100+ Irish families who are genuinely glad you came.

Our host families aren't doing this as a side business — they do it because they love welcoming international students. They prepare three meals a day, share their daily life, and often turn into a second family that students stay in touch with for years.

  • Breakfast, lunch and dinner included — special meals welcome
  • Private bedroom, shared family spaces
  • Dietary preferences and allergies respected
  • Daily Irish life — meals, conversations, weekend outings
  • Every family vetted and re-checked before each season
  • Coordinator visit during the first week
