Our Bournemouth Stag Reviews
The site was extremely easy to use. The staff were very friendly and the place we booked and all the activities were fantastic!
Daniel Mifsud-williams
Definitely worth the money we paid. The individual payments made it easy on the best man. All activities were hilarious - we would definitely go again. The event organisers were very helpful with any questions or concerns, so they made it very easy to organise and didn't take up any time!
Ben Bates
Amazing service. Hassle-free, quick and easy to book, check and contact. Would 100% recommend StagWeb and use them again.
Max Yorke
Incredibly well-organized, fantastic accommodation, helpful friendly and attentive staff. Perfect balance of being looked after and being left to yourself for a stag weekend. Health and safety were well accounted for so it could be acknowledged and then put to one side for the focus to be on just having a great time knowing you're in good hands. Would highly recommend StagWeb for a stag. Our group came away saying it was the best stag we'd ever been on.
Amir Kishawi
I used StagWeb, as this was my 4th time as a best man and I was struggling to come up with new ideas for the stags. They literally took all the stress out of planning a stag weekend and made it super easy. I would definitely recommend them!
Darrell Keogh
Very easy to use! I am horrible at organising and even worse at rounding up people to give me money, so I was glad to have most of the work done for me. It was also useful for having all of the itinerary bits together so I could make sure I remembered everything.
Elliot Chadwick
Everyone I came into contact with at StagWeb was incredibly helpful. Very sufficient in getting back to me when I had questions etc. They put on a great stag party for us!
Mark Nolan
Would definitely recommend using StagWeb to arrange similar events. They take the pain out of organising for large groups and provide perfect recommendations tailored around the event.
Robert Keeley
This is our 2nd time using these guys - great service and everything was so well organised! We had such a good time and the activities were great. Very quick to respond too which was very helpful. Looking forward to booking again with you!
Dan Price
StagWeb were responsive and accommodating. Steph helped me organise throughout and was quick to respond to any changes or queries I had. It definitely made planning an event for 24 people a whole lot easier and the cost was no more than organising it myself!
Jamie Frearson
We had an amazing weekend and stag do! The safari tents are awesome with amazing fire-heated hot tubs. I would certainly recommend the location. We had a mega time.
Jim Cox
StagWeb makes organising a smooth and enjoyable process, rather than a daunting and chaotic one. It lifts a weight off your chest knowing you're in safe hands with them. I will be telling all organisers to book here.

The Best Time to Go
According to our stats for 2023, 78% of all our stags who went to Bournemouth headed down between March and August.
Really, with a coastal UK destination, you want to go when the weather is at its best, otherwise, it can be pretty bleak.
However, if you're not planning on enjoying the beach or taking on any outdoor activities, you can have a cracking weekend in Bournemouth any time of the year.
How Long Do People Go For?
The majority of stags (55%) who partied with us in Bournemouth last year went there for 2 nights.
Some groups did more than two, but not many bothered with fewer.
No, you need at least two nights to really scratch the surface of this party town and enjoy all that it has to offer.
How Soon Do People Book?
Stags heading to Bournemouth last year booked nearly 5 months ahead of their event, which is more than the average (4 months).
That means, if you're thinking about going to Bournemouth, you need to try and book as early as possible because all the best houses, hotels, nights out and activities will book up early doors.
Being a coastal destination, you're not just competing with other stags, but hen parties and families looking at their summer getaways.
Book early to avoid disappointment, pal.
Where to Stay in Bournemouth
Bournemouth isn't the biggest place in the UK, but you still don't want to base yourselves miles out of town.
The town centre, Triangle, Old Christchurch Road, Exeter Road and Boscombe are all decent drinking spots, so anywhere near there would work well if that's your vibe.
Check out our range of Bournemouth stag accommodation. Here, you'll find the perfect stag-friendly stay for you and the guys. Each one has a map of its location, so you can see exactly where you'll be based.
If you fancy doing something different, be sure to have a gander at our Bournemouth glamping options, which are located further out of town.
