Group homestays in Dartford
We arrange group homestays in Dartford for schools and youth groups, working with experienced host families across the area. The town is located in northwest Kent, with rail connections to central London.
Dartford is a historic town situated on the border of Kent and Greater London. With good rail connections to central London, Dartford provides groups with convenient access to the capital while offering more affordable accommodation options.
The town features cultural venues including the Orchard Theatre and the Mick Jagger Centre, along with a local museum and Central Park for outdoor activities. Dartford’s location near the Dartford Crossing makes it accessible for groups arriving from various parts of the UK.
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 Dartford. See the group booking FAQs for the finer points.
