We would highly recommend staying with a homestay family. Not only is it a great way to practise your English but you can also find about English culture. What do English people normally eat? What do they do in the evening? When do they work? Living with an English family will give you a real insight into English daily life.
Please let us know if you are a married couple that would like a shared homestay.
