This course is for you if you want to learn useful English and improve your communication skills in a relaxed way with other students 50+ years. The morning lessons will teach you to communicate better in English, while in the afternoons and on weekends you will get a chance to explore the beautiful countryside, coast and towns of Devon and Cornwall.
The most popular 50+ course is the programme based on the landscapes of the films of Rosamunde Pilcher, the famous West Country author. Rosamunde Pilcher is most famous for her novel, 'The Shell- Seekers' which she wrote when she was in her sixties. Her stories were set in the countryside and seaside towns of Devon and Cornwall and have been featured in both English and German television films over the years. With these popular films in mind, they aim to give you a taste of the beautiful landscapes that inspired her by taking you on excursions to some of these locations and to others they feel represent the romantic spirit in her books. Go with them on a two week exploration of their favourite romantic Devon and Cornwall places. All excursions are accompanied by their expert teachers or guides.

“The cultural experience, it was a really nice experience. The teachers are great professionals and constantly motivate us to speak in English. And with Therese Morgan, (homestay family), I'spent very pleasant days, as if I were at home.”

Other comments My experience in Totnes school has been very good. I hope to return next year to continue to improve my level of English. I'm going to recommend your school. The best thing about the school in Totnes is the quality of the teachers.

55 years“The teachers (Alex, Katherine, Will). They are excellent professionals. The free time organised by Will was very nice. The trips to Bath and Exeter during the weekend were good. The conversation classes (optional) are really useful.”
Insider tips about what future students should not miss It is very important to ask about all the activities the school has scheduled. They are very interesting and a good choice if you do not know about the area or if you are travelling alone and don't know what to do. Also, people who work there are lovely.
It is also important not to pretend to have a different level of English (lower or higher) as otherwise you will not be able to take advantage of the time you spend.
Lastly, from my experience, accommodation with a family is a great options. But I have heard other stories so it is important to discuss any possible issue with the school, whether it is a misunderstanding (normal in cases like this) or if the relationship with the family is not working.

Other comments The excursions to cities such as Bath, which are a bit far away, are a bit poor because we use a lot of time to get there. I suggest they leave earlier (we leave at 09:00), at least a couple of hours earlier. Because there are many things to visit, and it is an opportunity that is difficult to repeat on our own, and the city is crowded by the time we get there.
We spend a lot of time queuing and little time visiting the places. We also need to get back soon to be there on time.
Books are borrowed from the school and many students did not have it because the previous students had lost them. We could work with photocopies or other material I can't think of to avoid this. I did not have a book and it is difficult to study as many explanations are in the book. I guess they can easily find a solution.
But otherwise it is a good school, since it is very interactive and the atmosphere helps to learn. For that reason, I will go back, if I can afford it. Thanks everyone. Pili
