About Lynster House… the Story so far!
This guest house began accidentally, as many a good venture does! I ended up doing a friend a favour as there was a group of European travellers who could not find a bed anywhere in Monaghan. ( the now famous Monaghan Country Music Festival was on). I obliged and found the experience so enjoyable I later signed up with airbnb (Sept 2015).
I had already a fairly good repuation as “hostess with mostess”, so to speak and loved entertaining. I had been bought, as a gift, a brass door knocker, from Trinity College, no less! of a harp (I was known as a harpist for many years) for this house… a new build when we moved in in 2006. A friend with a very wry humor and quick wit, upon arrival at the house, upon seeing newly said door knocker, exclaimed aloud “where do you think you are? Leinster House?!”
Bang! Sorted! Perfect!. We had been thinking about a suitable name for our new home, and given my reputation for encouraging robust debate at dinner, plus Irish seal/insignia is actually the old Brian Boru Harp… and Leinster House, being the home of DaiI Eireann (The Irish Parliament), the matter was settled. So Elizabeth swapped the “ei” for a “y” thus, Lynster House was duly christened! Cead Mile Failte
