Anthony has a very positive outlook and gave great commitment during his time here and with Sean. It was a pleasure to meet him and we wish Anthony the very best as he embarks on a new chapter here in Ireland. I highly recommend.

My experience at the guest 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 the guest 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. the guest house and Monaghan are truly the hidden gems of Ireland - and I'm certified Mad About Monaghan now!

I was blessed to have such an innovative, kind, positive and stellar lady come as a volunteer to my guest(home). house. Sharon was a whizzer, full of enthusiasm and willingness to try everything. 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

My experience at the guest house has been wonderful. There, as well as improving my English and getting to know the work of a guest house from the inside, I met Elisabeth, a wonderful and welcoming person who made me feel at home. At all times she has been concerned about my wellbeing, she has offered me exquisite meals and she has made me feel like one of the locals . I recommend the experience 100 percent. Without a doubt I would love to repeat it. I have gained an experience and a wonderful friend 😊.

Volunteering at the guest house was an amazing cultural experience filled with learning opportunities! Elizabeth is very sweet and incredibly hardworking. I feel lucky to have been able to learn so much about Irish culture and see different parts of Ireland with her! I have felt truly immersed in the culture and community and had so much fun attending Irish music festivals, traveling, and meeting the locals! Overall, I have felt very fulfilled being here and enjoyed my stay very much. I thank you Elizabeth, and also Sean, for an amazing experience and great great guidance while in Ireland!

My experience at the guest house was very interesting and enriching. Elizabeth is a host who proudly shows us Irish culture, music, cuisine, history and traditions. It was a great learning experience about the region, about how a hotel works and its routine. Elizabeth is a business woman and full of stories and knowledge about the region and welcomed me with great attention.

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!

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.

My stay at the guest house was complex but enriching. The guest house and garden are beautiful, created with great taste. Volunteers should know they stay in a separate chalet without a bathroom, which was cluttered with furniture and business items during my visit. Elizabeth plans to reorganize it for better accommodation. I recommend uploading chalet photos and detailing house rules in the WP publication to avoid surprises. As for Elizabeth, despite our initial differences and her direct personality, she's an interesting businesswoman who is open to honest/kind feedback and self-improvement 🌿
