I've been going to BGHS irregularly for several years, and have had my best times there in a couple. But I met a lovely mature single woman there recently and had two fab encounters with her. I've also had excellent sex with hot men, many of whom identify as straight and have girlfriends.

BGHS is a very lovely place, and doesn't have the tackiness of some of the older saunas. In the basement a couple of nice saunas, steamrooms, hot large and small tubs, an eight-person Jacuzzi, small pool. Ground floor: pleasant coffee/food bar and lounge area, TV room. The second floor has a set of banquettes, natural light and an outside area. Beyond the door on the first floor is the action: a warren of various sized restrooms, a mirrored stage area, and an open rest area. The staff tend to stay out of here, unless they notice a lot of loiterers in the corridors. There's also a massage room. The only criticisms I have of the place is they've not bothered to put in water fountains or even clocks or timers in the basement, which means you have to trudge upstairs to hydrate or find out how long you've been in the sauna.

If you're a couple and looking for other couples, the best time to go is Saturday and Sunday evenings. If you want single men, you'll probably find most of them on Friday evenings, and Saturday and Sunday afternoons. There are couples there at those times too. If you're not sure what you want, go on Saturday and Sunday mid-afternoon and stay on after the single guys are kicked out. Increasingly I've noticed the men there are more likely to be bi, or at least bi-curious, and I've met several gay men there recently who are tired of gay saunas.

If someone is too pushy or otherwise oversteps the boundaries, you must be clear with them. But the sort of inexcusable behaviour that one of the posters here mentioned is thankfully very rare. Most of the men are pleasant ordinary guys, but there are some strange, cold men who have clearly watched too much porn and have no idea how to talk to anyone, let alone women.

Well after toying with the idea of going to BGHS for literally years, I finally did. I went expecting to meet a Fabs friend there, so possibly a slightly different experience to if I had just gone completely solo and "winged it", but I had a great time.

The staff were friendly and helpful and the facilities generally good.

I was pleasantly surprised to see it wasn't completely male-dominated, although the "lurkers" that have been mentioned before were "on duty", which was more frustrating due to the feeling that they were "blocking" a play...sorry..rest room(!) than anything else.

Nonetheless I did have fun, and hope to go again sometime soon.

Having been going to BGHS for a couple of years now we decided to venture there on a BH Monday. The spa was fine but the rest rooms had many men lurking with a predatory kind of behaviour...off putting to say the least. We just locked the door with our meet. After the fun I was coming out and guys were just waiting as if they wanted in, to the point you could not move around or come out of the room. We will still go with timings and days in mind.

Been twice now, had a good time both visits, being a greedy girl the groups of single men wasn't a problem! Lol

The changing room is a bit like they forgot about it so just stuffed it in a corridor... strange

Wipes or paper towels in the rest rooms would be a nice touch too

Will definately go again

Went this week after a break of several years. Much cleaner than it used to be, although why they still can't manage to screen off the changing room from the front door is a mystery - we were just undressed when a parcel driver came in then the girl kept him there with the door open right in front of us!

Other than that the staff were very friendly. There were single guys around, were not too obtrusive until we went upstairs and at one point opened the door to our ridiculously hot rest room, and one came in, shut the door behind him and locked it. We politely asked him to leave, but there were another four outside all peering in as the door opened. Not particularly nice.

Rest rooms could do with some cleaning spray and paper towels.

We have attended BGHS for 15 years, but have been put off by the increasingly predatory behaviour of the packs of single guys there.

We went this Easter Monday and got "latched onto" by a particularly annoying guy from the moment we entered. In the jacuzzi, he put his leg over our laps. We pushed it gently away. Then again. The third time we pushed it hard away to make our point, and he exploded, pushing his face into ours and swearing at the top of his voice. So we made a complaint to the management. Was he thrown out? No, they explained he was a "good customer" who came 3 to 5 times a week. So we left, haing paid £30 for less than a half hour.

We have been going to Bghs for the last 3 years and always enjoy ourselves. Its nice to see the rest rooms have had a little T.L.C and money spent on them. Its just a shame the herd of single guys lurking about in them cant be stopped!!

The staff are very polite and the place is spotless.

Its a good place to chill and meet fun like minded people

Went for the third time yesterday.

Can't fault the staff, they are extremely friendly and happy to help. The wet rooms downstairs are well maintained and perfectly adequate temperaturewise for a few hours of relaxing.

We have to say that the habit of single men staking out rooms was weird, actually quite comical to watch them eyeing up everyone who went into the rest room area. We just waited until after 6 when they mostly went.

It was a little odd in that there were several men there who either had turned up with a partner who stayed downstairs or who seemed to be invisible, three of them were prowling around the whole evening around the sauna and rest rooms.

It's not going to stop us going again, love the place. :)

We had never been to an 'adult club' before, and as you can expect we very nervous especially as we were on our own - our nerves (and inhibitions) soon disappeared. This club is so relaxing it was a perfect venue to start with. The staff are fantastic and exceptionally professional - the saunas, spa's baths and Jacuzzis are well looked after and great temperatures. There is some building work going on which limited the number of playrooms - but that did not stop our enjoyment on the night, and you wouldn't know if you hadn't been told. Having a no alcohol policy ensured no idiots were in attendance, which kept us at ease throughout our evening. The only fault we could find was the lack of 'cleansing materials' in the playrooms - there were bins in each room, but nothing to wipe the cushions with.

My first visit to the spa last week. Heard so much about it that I had very high expectations. I visited with a couple I know who are regulars so looking for play fun wasn't a concern.

Staff are very good and friendly. Changing facilities a bit wierd in a corridor as you walk in and therefore slightly uncomfortable.

GRIPE - the saunas are too low temperature - like they have them set on low to save money!!! No water in sauna so that customers can control the temp grrr

BIG PROBLEM for people wanting to play upstairs Single men sitting in the palyrooms as if they are hookers in amsterdam windows - very creepy and very intimidating. We wanted to play and couldn't find a free cabin without some lurker sitting in it grrrr

Looking forward to going on a couples night :-)

I attended this club lately on a mid week afternoon, It is very easy to find with helpfull staff. The changing room / lockers are in a hallway which is too cramped, one sauna not working, the steam room barely worked and the pool was too cold, there was a ditinct lack of people so there was literally nothing going on.

I am sure if it was busy there would be a great buzz so maybe i will have to return to experience that mmagic.

We enjoyed another rare visit here as its a long way from home, and the club is still as clean, tidy, and well run as we remembered. .. It's just a shame there weren't more people - especially couples - as we felt we were the only one... Meaning Gushy was like honey covered In bees.....nothing she couldn't handle though !

Visited for the first time today just on a whim as i needed some relaxation. I am a bit of a naturist so this gave me the opportunity to have a decent spa experience without the shorts! I was quite nervous as i didnt know what to expect. there were a few couples and a few single guys, myself included. i didnt witness any swinging just a few people relaxing and enjoying the great facilities. most people were friendly when i spoke to them but mostly couples kept themselves to themselves and i respected that. the staff were friendly and helpful. i will dedfinately go back.

I went to Bristol Gads whilst down in Brighton for a Conference. I saw the Basement Spa facilities but other than a Sauna I didn’t exploit them too much. I did however make more full usage of the top floor, where I was able to play with several guys as voyeurs watched. I very much enjoyed that aspect. Simply by returning to the coffee lounge I was able to chat to fresh guys each time and so used the top floor facilities continuously.

Finally got around to trying a Friday night (24 August).

As previously mentioned the spa area is very well done, clean and extensive. As regards the play areas these are rather limited, with 1 decent lockable playroom and a couple of decent open areas. The other lockable rooms are however rather tiny!!

as regards the evening - it wasn’t particularly busy there was a mix of a few couples and several single guys. I personally had a great time giving pleasure to the female half of a friendly couple in the main open area - but got rather overheated and had to pop off to cool down.

It is a great place to chill out and enjoy he spa but I would say it wasn’t particularly geared to the singers amongst us !

Also not at all geared for smokers as you have to get dressed and go outside the front if you partake.

Makes a nice change but I am pleased its not my closest club as its limited and closes at 10ish even at the weekends.!! Would be a good place to meet up with people (although not cheap)
