Accommodation, Facilities and Local Area
Our house is located in the historic village of Penshurst in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The bus stops directly outside our house and we are ten minutes from the train station, where there are regular services into the centre of London. Locally, we are able to arrange private tuition for horseriding, tennis and golf. We are 15 minutes from an indoor/outdoor swimming pool and gym. We are able to offer guests a peaceful, rural environment with panoramic views, yet also offer the convenience of a major town only 10 minutes away.

We also operate a minibus tour service for overseas guests at a local hotel which our students are willing to join on any day (free of charge) to visit places of interest in the South East with our highly experienced tour guides.

Our family home is filled with laughter and fun, we have three daughters, Yasmin (13), Freya (11) and Eden (8) and a number of pets, a dog, guinea pigs, rabbits and assorted fish! My wife Carla, the children and I have many years experience of entertaining overseas students and always welcome students as part of our family whilst respecting their need for privacy.
