The Residence
Our own boutique educational Hotel!
Welcome to Westwood House! This beautiful Victorian manor in Hastings is our boutique student home – cosy, friendly, and full of character. With space for up to 20 students plus leaders, the house features its own dining room and a welcoming sitting room – a place to relax, connect, and feel right at home while studying in the UK.
Your Room
Bedrooms come in singles, doubles, and triples, giving everyone a comfortable place to rest. Living together adds to the experience, creating a warm, friendly community where students can share, connect, and enjoy their time in the house.
The Sitting Room
Lions is more than just a centre – it’s a welcoming home for all our students. The living room is where students can relax, play games, enjoy musical instruments, or watch TV together. It’s a space to unwind, socialise, and make the most of your time here.
The Dining Room
The dining room is a welcoming space where students and leaders come together to enjoy meals. It’s perfect for daily dining and special occasions alike, creating a friendly, warm and sociable atmosphere for everyone.
Food & Nutrition
… food glorious food
We understand what it is like to take a group of growing teenagers away on a trip – the larder shelves can be emptied in minutes and a tour and be made or fail on its food offerings!
Eating together as a group and trying new things is all part of the experience and with our on-site chef we can ensure quality and quantity for all! We encourage groups to sit together in the evening and chat over the day, to share experiences and to plan the next day’s objectives, eating together is very much part of the educational experience.
Naturally you will have to try fish and chips and a roast beef supper but there are many other dishes that are on offer and we would suggest that you look at our menu and agree what works and what might not work for your group so that an agreed menu can be reached before your arrival. Naturally, our chef can cater for all sorts of dietary needs, please let us know well in advance what may be needed.
