We take a maximum of 20 students in the school at any time and there is continuous interaction in English. Our students are all adults and come from all over the world. The average stay is about 3 weeks, though some people stay for up to 3 months.

Beautiful location in the Lake District National Park:

There are many wonderful walks from the cottage including waterfalls, caves, valleys, mountains and rivers. Windermere, the largest lake in England, is just 3km away. The Lake District is a very special place and it is currently being considered for World Heritage status. The region is very popular with British tourists so there are many facilities in the villages, including cinemas, shops, bars, clubs, boating, tennis, fitness centres and leisure spas.
 
Our school is less than 2 hours by car from Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds / Bradford, Blackpool and Newcastle airports. Our area is also easily accessible from the airports by train or bus.
