Group homestays in Salisbury
We arrange group homestays in Salisbury for schools and youth groups, working with experienced host families across the area. The city is located in Wiltshire, a cathedral city in southern England.
Salisbury is a cathedral city in Wiltshire, South West England. Dominated by its magnificent 13th-century cathedral with Britain’s tallest spire, the city has been an important centre since medieval times.
The city offers excellent museums, a historic market square, and a thriving arts scene including the annual Salisbury International Arts Festival. Salisbury provides easy access to Stonehenge and the beautiful Wiltshire countryside.
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 Salisbury. See the group booking FAQs for the finer points.
