Lynster House

Firstly, I have a beautiful home so can offer a real "home from home" experience and I am very much a people person. I have a very positive outlook on life and living, and in my younger years, travelled the world. So I know what's a bonus and what can be difficult and I would be so happy to engage with young and maybe Not So Young people as they travel the globe"
I offer excellent food, (including vegetarian, though not vegan) the opportunity to meet other people who are paying guests, many of them also from overseas.. and everyone gains a true international experience.
The bonus about Monaghan is that it is a true hidden gem in Ireland, not quite on the tourist but it has some fantastic things to do and places to see that won't break the bank!!

I am mostly a one woman show but as it gets a bit busier in the summer time I would appreciate the help with the rooms and gardening. Hours and workdays are fairly flexible but it would be overall 25hrs a week. I would be very happy to take my volunteer around visiting friends and family and introduce them to the local community. We are a super friendly part of Ireland and make visitors welcome always. Also I'm heavily involved in the music and culture scene locally so happy to include my volunteer(s) in music gigs, theatre and concerts. Typical days off I always suggest Dublin, Belfast, or Galway and past volunteers normally do this as two days /one overnight stay and really enjoy.

My time at LH was altogether good, I learned a lot.Elizabeth is a very active person who has several businesses and was therefore always very busy and seemed kind of stressed all the time. Liz always assured us volunteers that this was her normal pace however, unfortunately, it still made us a bit streesed, too and sometimes uncomfortable. Liz is so busy that she was away for about half of my stay, which meant that we had to take care of more things than we expected. There were no free tours (as written on the website), but Liz surely had great local tips. Her home is gorgeous, just ad Ireland

Roza is easy going & made a good impact here. a little sad her review is largely negative ( personal note is more positive). I was absent for some of Oct/Nov, but life reverts to normal in 2025. Roza didnt say in her review the excellent accomm. food (noted in private) or the amount of extra time off to travel the cities of Ireland. Free tours of locality are from March to late Oct. Winter not suitable. She always
advised last minute re her private work schedule, not always helpful!

My experience at Lynster House was absolutely one of a kind. Elizabeth has a beautiful home, and the accommodation was very nice! I only shared a room with one other person and we had our own bathroom as well, everything was very comfortable and lovely. The work consisted of general housekeeping and posting on social media, and the days off were very fair- I even went to Derry and Belfast during my stay. I would recommend anyone who is a hard worker for this exchange, as there is always something to be done! I loved exploring Monaghan and meeting the locals as well. Thanks so much Elizabeth!!

This was my first Worldpacker experience, and I am so blessed to have had it with Elizabeth at Lynster House. Elizabeth is a remarkable person - she is smart, warm and kind. She welcomes volunteers to her home with open arms, and passionately shares with us all there is to know about the local culture and people. She provides amazing meals, and is the perfect host. I have made a life-long friend from this experience - and I will definitely be back again very soon. Lynster House and Monaghan are truly the hidden gems of Ireland - and I'm certified Mad About Monaghan now!

She was supper helpful also with the tech end of my business so that was very much appreciated. Most of all, Sharon has become a friend who I will welcome, with open arms back to my home at any time in the future. A bonus experience for me. Thank you Sharon. Hugs galore. Elizabeth

It was a good experience, I only stayed with Elizabeth for a few days, the house was lovely and the town is pretty, most of my experience was with her brother, Sean, and it was perfect, I’m really thankful for the time I stayed there, I was treated with respect and I really enjoyed it. Everyone was friendly with me there. And he has a lovely friendly and playful dog that was always helping me while I worked.

Elizabeth is an amazing business woman, her house is so beautiful, she always maked me feel like in home.
I really recommend going there, she took me to know local places in Monaghan and also to the county Clare that was amazing, she shared with me the Irish culture, food and music which I loved it.

If you want to have a peaceful experience bordering nature you must come here!
