Live Like a Local During Your Irish Experience

At EBTA, we believe that a truly enriching internship experience extends beyond the workplace. That’s why we place great importance on comfortable, welcoming accommodation that helps trainees feel at home from the moment they arrive.

All trainees are placed with carefully selected host families, offering a safe, supportive environment where they can settle in, practise their English, and experience the warmth and rhythm of everyday Irish life in a home-away-from-home setting.

Live with a local family - experience authentic Irish culture.

Our homestay option offers more than just a place to sleep — it provides a unique opportunity to live with a local Irish family and experience daily life, language, and culture in a natural, supportive environment. It’s the ideal setting for trainees to improve their English skills and gain deeper insight into Irish traditions and lifestyle.

We carefully select host families for their warmth, hospitality, and genuine interest in cultural exchange. Each family is committed to making their guest feel welcome and supported throughout their stay.

Trainees staying with host families receive:

  • Half board (breakfast and dinner)

  • Ongoing support and guidance from their hosts

This homestay experience is often one of the most meaningful and memorable aspects of a trainee’s time in Ireland.

For group leaders and other adult participants, we offer a variety of accommodation options, including:

  • Homestays

  • Student residences

  • Bed & Breakfasts

  • Hotels

Whatever your preference, we’ll help you find the right fit to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Ireland.
