Group homestays in Swansea
We arrange group homestays in Swansea for schools and youth groups, working with experienced host families across the area. The city is located on the south Wales coast.
Swansea is a coastal city on Swansea Bay in Wales. Known for its beautiful beaches, maritime heritage, and as the birthplace of Dylan Thomas, it offers a unique blend of urban amenities and natural beauty.
The city provides access to the stunning Gower Peninsula, the UK’s first designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Swansea offers excellent facilities for water sports, coastal walks, and cultural activities in its museums and galleries.
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 Swansea. See the group booking FAQs for the finer points.
