Want to rent out my home for parties/ hen dos

My partner and I have a large 6 bedroom (semi-detached) home near a busy city centre. Our home is beautiful but I dream about being in the countryside. A friend suggested we rent our home on airbnb - it would be a great place for hen parties as we have a wine bar, big kitchen, dining room and lounge and lots of bedrooms (could sleep 15+) people.
Is this a mad idea? Will the place get trashed? Hoping there is a good insurance policy I could take out... has anyone else on here done the same?

Large groups of people and alcohol plus your neighbours to consider... What could go wrong.

Have you given any thought to your next door neighbours who will be living through these hen parties.
Or is this a silly wind up thread?🤔

Dont be ridiculous. 15 people in a 6 bed home? Doubt it would be allowed

And how inconsiderate for your neighbours

I think it is a cracking idea. Do post before and after photos.

Huh? Why would you not just sell it and move to the countryside? Am I missing something here? Why would there be Air BnB involved?

@Hydrangeahome Didn't you want to move back to London last month in a previous thread. Now you want to move to the countryside ??
Something not right here.

Your poor neighbours. You’ll make their lives a misery. Ugh.

This is not real .

ActDottie · 15/12/2023 01:37

Semi detached… my first thought was your poor neighbours!

Where will the private jet land?

Lovely thing to do to your neighbours

NarniaOrBust · 15/12/2023 03:11

And your neighbours? Or do they not count?

I really hope this practice becomes illegal at some point soon. It's basically antisocial behaviour towards your neighbours but without you actually being there.
