Renting house for a party

PH4T

I'd like to rent a house for a weekend to have a party.

So far I've found this place that would do it:

http://www.coolatorehouse.ie/

Only problem is it's €2,200 for the weekend.

Could anyone recommend anywhere similiar but a bit more downmarket?

There are loads around. We've rented a few castles/country homes etc. Or even modern lodges on castle grounds (e.g. Waterford Castle)

Not that I am aware of.

Although the Morgan is a hotel so it does have security etc in the main bar.

LOL @ The Morgan! A thousand euro a night and you can't drink or have music on after midnight?

A house out of the city is the best way to go. If you rent an apartment in an established and lived in complex for the purposes of a session you'll piss of all the poor gits that live there. There's a top floor apartment across from us that is rented on a short term lease and often the loud parties start on Thursday and finish on Monday morning. Short term leased apartments are usually designed for people visiting for a weekend - be it tourism or business. Its generally not designed for you and 40 of your mates to get hammered in and make a shít load of noise. /rant

Alternatively, if cost is proving too much, you could always just book a function room somewhere.
