I'm going away with my dad for a short weekend for his birthday at the end of september and he told me to have a look on the website of the hotel. It's really nice and brand new, but it said at the bottom that they don't allow single sex groups of more than 4 people. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on this odd rule to me?

usually the same rule for everywhere that isnt specifically designed for 18-30s. although im sure if 50 70year olds wanted to go it would be fine!
Yeh but its more likely that a single sex group will be on a lads or a girls holiday.
As for it being an upmarket hotel and not attracting those kind of people, the reason its upmarket and doesnt attract that kind of people is because of the rules in place
You would be surprised sometimes
just because its expensive doesnt mean young groups wont go, back in the day when i was 20/21 we regularly used to go for the 4 and 5 star ones, doesnt work out that much if you just going for a night and you know you getting a cracking breakfast.
wouldnt bother these days, and i have more money. hostels for me!
Anyway, we were ranging in ages from 16 - 18 (2 16year olds, 2 17 year olds, 1 18 year old) and only on our SEVENTH campsite, in the THIRD village, did we find somewhere that would accept us. And even then they wanted to phone two adults and have them agree to responsibility for us. Luckily, the campsite that let us on was perfect for us, and when we left they even said we'd been a pleasure, so it's just proof that it's a stereotype (we were only told to shut up by other tents/caravans a couple of times in 6 days :thumb:).
at work the other day there was a suggestion (or rather an order) in the comments box that we have 'child free shopping days'. :eek2:
20-odd stags sometimes can be difficult.
