Group homestays in Dublin
We arrange group homestays in Dublin for schools and youth groups, working with experienced host families across the area. The city is the capital of Ireland, located on the east coast.
Dublin is the capital of Ireland, located on the east coast at the mouth of the River Liffey. With a rich literary heritage and centuries of history, the city offers groups a walkable centre with distinct cultural quarters, each with its own character.
The city is known for its Georgian architecture, vibrant arts scene, and strong connections to world-renowned writers including Oscar Wilde, Samuel Beckett, and James Joyce.
What group leaders need to know
Every group is quoted individually, because centre, dates and numbers all move the price. The practical arrangements are the same wherever your group stays.
Students stay with host families in twos, threes and fours. Group leaders and other adults travelling with the group can have single rooms if any are free when you book.
We suggest full board: breakfast and dinner at the family’s table, and a packed lunch to take out for the day. Half board, without the packed lunch, is also an option.
A local organiser is at the meeting point each morning and evening. Students are handed over between host families and group leaders with someone responsible present both times.
Airport transfers can be arranged for the whole group by taxi, minibus or coach. Ask for a quotation when you enquire.
Hosts who take students under 18 are DBS checked, and our safeguarding policies cover every group placement.
Larger groups pay less per person. A deposit of 20% of the total or £500, whichever is higher, holds the booking. The balance is due 28 days before arrival.
Send us your dates, group size and anything the group needs, and we will come back with a quote for Dublin. See the group booking FAQs for the finer points.
