Stag in Carlingford

The Stag couldn't have went any better, nothing was a problem when organising it, the paintballing was great craic and the location of the house in the middle of the square in Carlingford was 30 seconds away from about 10 pubs. Cannot recommend The Stags Balls and Carlingford enough.

Carlingford is a great spot Matthew and we are delighted to have been able to help with Dave's stag last weekend. Thanks again for booking with The Stag's Balls and hope you and the lads have a ball at the wedding!

Great way to organise a stag. 5 stars

Used stag balls for a stag in carrick on shannon recently. Couldn't recommend them enough. Made everything so easy for everyone on it. Never had an issue and any query I had was dealt with professionally and quickly by a member of staff.

Simple concept using the Stag Balls…

Simple concept using the Stag Balls website. Click, pay and show up on the day. Our contact was Peter, who took the work out of booking everything and made any changes we wanted or needed. Payments were made easy, pay a deposit, everyone else click on the link and payed off as they wanted prior to the deadline.
We stayed in Galway, took all of 5 minutes to review which of the hotels we wanted, then the hotels proximity to the town and the activities. We traveled up by train, 5 min taxi to hotel and a 5 min walk to Go-Karting. Simple and easy.
Just a note for people traveling in big groups in Galway (there was 13 of us), we took taxis into town, 2 minutes apart (as advised) and we all got into the pubs without hassle. Don't show up with a group bigger than 4/5, the pubs don't care if its your stag, just stagger the group and you can meet up inside.
Hope this helps with your choice!

Took the hassle out of a great weekend!!!

I dealt with Peter from The Stag Balls who from the off could not have been more accommodating and helpful. Like most I had additional requests after the initial booking, right up to the day before the stag and Peter handled everything while I got on with the man management! Couldn't recommend these guys highly enough for a cost effective and well organised stag party.
All In all the lads had a great time which is what matters most, thanks!

Took the work out of it

Very happy with The Stag's Balls who were super accommodating and took the bulk of the work out of organising a stag! I kept coming back with added requests and changes to the plan and they took it in stride each time. Thanks again Peter and all!

Peter from Stag's Balls…

Worked with Peter from Stag's Balls recently & it made so much of a difference to have an expert on the end of the phone- Found the company very accommodating as we had various changes throughout the booking with no hassle. No issues from start to finish and Peter was a pure delight to work with.

Seamless organisation, tremendously helpful, brilliant.

I honestly do not have enough praise for the fine folks at TSB. Everything from them managing to organise everything into one day, to sorting out the need to add people on after the deadline, to the follow-up call and much more in between was, for my money (and the lads' money for the matter), the best customer service I've seen anywhere. I cannot recommend their service highly enough. If nothing else, it helped this balding man stop pulling the remnants of his hair out for a couple of weeks, and for that alone, I can't thank them enough. Absolutely phenomenal.

As best man organising a stag I couldn't but recommend The Stag Balls. The advice from Ruaidhri was excellent and the personal website for making online payments is brilliant especially as everyone going on the stag was spread all over the country. Stag was booked for this weekend but given the horrendous weather I had to cancel. Ruaidhri responded to my email straight away and helped us get a full refund. An excellent business and a must use for any best man organising a stag.

#Pure rip off

Pure rip off.
only reason we booked with them was to avail of the VIP entry as it's hard to get a stag into a nightclub. However it turned out to be a pub. Needed up half the lads going home as they couldn't all get in. Also accommodation was20 min out of town.
very bad

Do not use this site

Experience was okay until after had paid and then it was almost impossible to get hold of main guy text or email 4 or 5 times to get a simple answer....our "VIP Nightclub"was a pub that had no entry fee or VIP area ,he had completely messed up hotel reservation only that the hotel was so good to move things around for us things would have been messy. Wouldn't recommend anyone to ever use unless you want the stag to have a horrible weekend full of letdown and miscommunication however if that is the case ruairdi is your guy to get on to 👌

Great concept but could improve.

Firstly I would like to say I booked my brothers stag pretty late so we were lucky to be accommodated at all so fair play to stags balls. The online experience was great, it was so easy to get everyone to pay up through the portal.

When we arrived in Kilkenny we played foot-golf which was great craic and enjoyed by all. We then made our way into the city initially we thought we were staying in the Troysgate House but after some over and back with Stagballs we were advised to go to the Gate Lodge B&B. We arrived there at the agreed time, our point of contact arrived late and seemed confused informing us that it was her first day. She then said she had no record of the booking and made some calls. I immediately got on to Stagsballs to see what was going on.
Thankfully our hostess managed to get hold of another chap (let’s say Tony) she seemed relieved to be getting off the hook tbh. Tony arrived and told us he really wasn’t meant to be working but had come along to save the day. He was sporting something of a busted nose which he informed us was an unfortunate consequence of the previous night’s festivities in the town. He led us up a lane to two properties and after some confusion with the keys (We were led into one property that was already full) we finally managed to get into the apartment. Once over the threshold Tony told us very solemnly ‘This property has just been renovated to the highest standards, as you can see’. We were to avoid alcohol or smoking in the apartment and were locked out of the sitting room which was full of sheets and duvets.
I did do a quick inspection of the property and could see it had recently been painted, however every hand basin and sink in the house was broken. The house had no mirrors and all of the furniture (wardrobes lockers etc.) was broken into smithereens. We did have a Jacuzzi in our room it was full of cigarette burns and didn’t work. The beds in the rooms were covered with clean sheets but inspection of the bases and mattresses revealed worrying stains. One couldn’t help but think of what lies beneath in these dumpster beds. I just ran this past Tony as I didn’t want him to blame us for the damage. Tony took this on-board but was quick to point out that ‘As you can see this property was recently done up’.
We then moved on to our dinner venue, it was a bar that had seen better days but did serve us up a good steak and pint. Afterwards we had a right good night of it and returned to our venue unscathed. Tony met us in the morning and took back the key and was happy we had taken care of the palatial apartment.
Overall the Stagsball.ie experience was mixed, their front end is excellent and the website is very functional and easy to use. I have organised a few stags and it took a lot of the ‘Gimmie the Money’ element out of organising. The activities they provide on the stags are good and easy to organise. The apartment was in a very central location and was easy to find. If you don’t mind giving up some minor comforts like hot running water, a mirror, a curtain in your room, a clean bed and furniture you’ll be ok with this accommodation. If Stagsballs could improve the quality of the accommodation and the meal it would get 5 stars for me.

Hope this review is helpful to those of you booking stags out there!!!

Hi Ben,
I hope you are keeping well during these testing times!
This is a very late thank you for your honest review of your experience bookings with The Stag's Balls. I'm delighted you found the website, food and activities good but completely understand your issue with the accommodation.
This review was a big reason we stopped working with that accommodation supplier a number of years ago - although we didn't thank you then I'd like to take the time to thank you now as it no doubt has saved us a great deal of hassle with groups arriving at the accommodation only to be disappointed.
Stay safe and thanks again!

The Only Company To Book With

Well it's safe to say the Sten was a great success! It was EPIC!! It couldn't have went any better. From the very first email to The Stags Balls and all the help from Ruaidhri, ye have just been fantastic! With last minute bookings and countless emails to deal with, Ruaidhri was just so great. He's exactly the kind of fella you want to deal with. Everything stress free and everything organised to the last detail. The itinerary was so clear with details of everything....addresses, contact details, phone numbers, so handy. I couldn't recommend The Stags Balls enough. Thank you so much for an unforgettable weekend.
