Your hosts provide a welcoming environment, support your learning, and offer an authentic window into their culture. And to help you make the most of your stay, you communicate with your host family before you book, getting to know them and their interests.
Lingoo has hundreds of registered, approved host families in Bournemouth. We’re confident you’ll find one where you want to stay, that shares your interests, and even your diet or religion. Each host family has a personal profile that includes their interests as well as references and evaluations from previous guests. And because you’re able to communicate before you travel, both parties avoid that awful moment when you first ring the doorbell and wonder who will answer – because you already know each other.

Prior to being developed as a purpose-built resort in 1810 for wealthy Victorians, Bournemouth was simply deserted heathland. Since then people have flocked to the seven miles of wide, sandy yellow beaches. The town centre architecture is notably Victorian and the skyline dominated by St Peter’s Church’s magnificent 62m spire. Popular with the party crowd, Bournemouth also has plenty of quieter hip hideaways and great restaurants serving sublime seafood.
There’s a growing surf culture and a popular water sports scene focussed around Boscombe Pier. With an obstacle course, climbing wall and zipline, Bournemouth Pier also has an adventure sports focus. During summer months you can hire one of the brightly coloured iconic beach huts and chill out listening to the waves in one of the 3000 deck chairs lining the immaculate sands. The art deco style Pavilion Theatre with its Corinthian column frontage has brilliant events most nights of the week.
