HARTPURY ACCOMMODATION

Your trusted local alternative to on-campus living

UPDATE: 12th JUNE. We are currently at capacity and not taking on any more students.

“I’m honestly so grateful to you both and the host, as without you the last year at Hartpury wouldn’t have been possible. It’s been odd thinking of my son living with another family… but knowing he was being looked after so well had put my mind at rest.”

A Reliable Back-Up When On-Campus is Full

Each year, Hartpury accommodation reaches full capacity — often before many families have secured a place.
Our host family placements provide a dependable option for students who still need a base nearby.

We fully understand that on-campus accommodation is the first choice. Our host families know that too — and they’re here to offer a supportive stepping stone. For many families, this option has made the difference between securing a place at Hartpury or missing out entirely.

While some students move into halls later in the term, many choose to stay with their host families for the full academic year.

PROVEN. TRUSTED. GROWING.
3 YEARS STRONG 💪🏉🐎

YES Guardians has now supported Hartpury students for three consecutive years.

With a growing number of families returning to us — and recommending us — year on year. What began as a local solution has become a trusted alternative embraced by students and parents alike.

We’ve helped students across all courses and backgrounds settle in safely, confidently, and happily.

Help for 'Homeless' students

“Our daughter was starting at Hartpury college in September 2024. Like many people, she could not get a room at the college so we were in a tricky situation. The college is too far to commute daily so we had too find a solution and fast. We heard about YES Guardians and their (Homestay and academic support service) through social media and the college. We made contact, filled in the application forms and talked through anything we didn’t understand. Some of the questions on the form provide useful info for the hosts like diet requirements, health needs, whether they come from a rural or urban environment etc. We were offered great accommodation with lovely hosts in a very short time. YES Guardians have even put on a bus service that takes students from door to door each college day. We have both been very impressed with the YES Guardians service, their friendly and approachable manner, great communication and interest in making it all work for the hosts, students and college.” Thank you Hayley and Marc.

WHY FAMILIES TRUST YES GUARDIANS

We’re not just offering rooms — we’re offering reassurance.

YES Guardians is a nationally accredited student guardianship organisation, working day-in, day-out with international families whose children are studying in the UK without their parents.


We are fully AEGIS Gold accredited — the highest level of recognition in our sector — which means we meet the most rigorous safeguarding and care standards in the UK.

SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR YOU?

Even if your child is from the UK and just needs somewhere to stay while they study at Hartpury, you’re benefiting from the same systems, training, and professionalism that we apply when safeguarding international students living thousands of miles from home.

Our day job is looking after students. It’s what we do — and we do it properly.

How that translates into our Hartpury service:

  • All host families are fully DBS-checked and trained in safeguarding

  • Homes are inspected annually and supported throughout the year

  • We’re used to working with parents at a distance — regular communication and clear expectations are standard

  • Your child’s safety and wellbeing is our top priority

We treat every student as if they were one of our own — whether they’re from Gloucestershire or Guangzhou.
