Homestay Accommodation
Experience British culture with a local family
Living with a Local Family
Living with a local family is the best way to experience British culture and practise your English every day. Loxdale English Centre has been in this area of Brighton since 1979, so we have built up a wonderful network of host families. Many of our hosts have been welcoming students for years. They are specially selected by Jodie Morden, our Accommodation & Welfare Officer.
All our homestay hosts are carefully selected, DBS-checked, and located within a maximum 28-minute walk of the school. Every host is committed to making you feel at home and part of the family.

What Our Students Say
"I was at Loxdale quite a long time ago, in 1987, but still I think it was one of the best semesters of my life. I made choices that changed my career, and my life, when I was there. I improved my English so much. Today I feel very confident speaking English."
"The teachers actually care about you as an individual! You end up with an increased vocabulary and more confidence."
"I am so impressed with this school. The organisation, the high quality and warmth of the staff."

Homestay vs Residential Quick Comparison
Our Host Families
How We Select Our Hosts
Every Loxdale host family is carefully selected and regularly reviewed by Jodie Morden, our Accommodation & Welfare Officer. We look for warm, welcoming homes where students feel comfortable and supported.
All adult members of the household are DBS-checked, and we conduct home visits before approving any family. It is an extremely important job to find the right host for the right student — and we work hard to match you with a family that suits your personality and needs.
A homestay 'family' does not always consist of two parents with children. A couple, or widow(er) whose children have grown up and left home often make excellent hosts and have much more time to chat with their students.
Becoming part of the family
What to Expect in Your Homestay
- You become part of the family — share meals and living areas
- You'll receive a house key (no locks on bedroom doors — this is normal in British homes)
- In most homes, you'll share the bathroom — please shower for 5–10 minutes and hang wet towels up
- Help around the house is appreciated — setting the table, clearing dishes after dinner
- Speak English as much as possible — ask your hosts about life in England!
