Other Information
It is always best to make a booking by contacting us as early as possible to ensure we have space available. We will contact you once we have received your email (see above). When you
have been accepted, we do ask you to confirm your plans to come once more. If you are joining us for the entire term, please do note that the dates given above are INCLUSIVE. We cannot accommodate people arriving before and/or wanting to stay on after the dates published.
Our space is limited so if your schedule changes or you have to cancel for any reason, please let us know as soon as possible. We have tried to keep the cost down. Although our resources are limited, feel free to enter into a discussion with us about finances.
For short-term visitors, fees are to be paid upon your arrival. For long-term visitors, fees can be paid monthly in advance and the first month is due when you arrive. Fees include 3 meals per day, a bed (with sheets, blankets, and pillow), towels, laundry, etc.

To request a reservation, please send us an email to bookings@englishlabri.org with the above listed information.

If you are coming as a family with children it is important to book early. It is worth bringing your children's books and toys. While one parent is having personal time for half a day the other is looking after the children. The family flats have their own cooking facilities and, again depending on your children's ages, you will be expected to have some meals on your own, as little children especially cannot handle the discussion lunches. ​​
ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization):
UK Immigration is now requiring an ETA for people travelling into the UK (except British and Irish citizens and those coming from countries requiring a UK visa). This is not a visa. It is a straightforward process of applying online or via an app, paying £10, and waiting for up to three days for confirmation The ETA is important for our guests to have in order to enter the country. Here is the link to Apply for an electronic travel authorization.
For more information on the new ETA requirements see UK Government website. The ETA is new as of 2025. It is effective now except for European countries. Starting in March / April it will be effective for all of Europe as well.
Important Note to Non-UK Visitors
If you are coming from another country, it is essential that you describe yourself as a visitor rather than as a student since we are not a formal educational institution in the eyes of the government.
