Not a youth hostel, but a national trust base camp
It was worth it, we had a great weekend.

That's what I'm thinking for a mates stag do,
he's talking about going to eatern europe, but if he does there will be about 6ish of us, UK based youth hostel, there'll be more like 25-30ish.

Go for somewhere like Eylam in the peak district.
But check out the web NT website for basecamps. Spread over a dozen people it is not that expensive.

I've found that UK based stag do's are better
Less travel. Less hassle. Easier to plan. More people come along.

That's what I think
and I really not up for 20 guys wandering around a town and vomiting on strippers.

That looks good.
Hiring somewhere in the countryside is a good idea - particularly if you can get the entire venue to yourselves so no need to worry about upsetting other people. Just make sure there are a couple of places to eat & drink nearby (you need more than one in case someone behaves like a cock and gets you all barred).

I've only been on one so far
After 15 people dropped out in the week before it, it simply meant 3 of us got an early train to Chester, and spent the day getting riotously pissed. It was a good day.

That is some unpopular groom.

That was pretty much going to be the running joke of the day
Then we realised after about 5 minutes that it would be a bit unfair, so instead were aiming it at one another.

"They dropped out because of you, ya baldy spastic!"
"No chance, it was down to you, you tubby little shit!"

Etc, etc.
