We can also offer accommodation in a Private Home with access to kitchen facilities. In a Homestay, you can choose from: Bed & Breakfast – breakfast every day Half-Board – breakfast and dinner every day (in Dublin, lunch at the weekends) 3 and 4 dinner plan – breakfast every day and evening meal on 3 or 4 days Homestays in London and Dublin are located in residential areas approximately 20-55 minutes from the school by public transport. They are available all year round and suitable for students, young working people, professionals and families.
