Staying with a family of native English-speakers is undoubtedly one of the best ways of gaining linguistic experience in an authentic day-to-day context. With this in mind, all of our home-stay families have been carefully selected for the warmth of their Scottish welcome.

The accommodation offered is of the highest quality in some of Edinburgh's most delightful residential areas and throughout your stay your English will be enhanced by the hosts' commitment to lively linguistic interaction. While Symposium Edinburgh recommends host family accommodation, we can of course book suitable hotel accommodation for you as an alternative.
