| We suspect that the biggest problem we're going to have in writing this review is that we're going to run out of superlatives, but let's start with 'undoubtedly the best experience of a swinging club we've had'.
Having phoned ahead and booked a room in the house for just £25, we arrived and were greeted by the delightful Toyah who gave us a very warm welcome. We were shown the house we were going to stay in overnight and then left to our own devices. Sadly, Ell had forgotten her devices. But there was an iron and a board for Jay to press his ridiculous linen suit on.
The house is basic, but everything we needed was there. The kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms are clean and tidy and who wants a tv when you are less than two minutes walk from a fabulous club?
Once we'd settled in and got ready for the club we made our way over the car-park and entered the fabulous labyrinth of rooms that is The Attic. The first part of our tour of the numerous rooms - all with different and well-thought out themes - was conducted by Toyah, who is charming, witty and engaging. Then we were handed over to the legendary Ron who revelled in showing us the rest of the club. This is a man who is passionate about what he has built and visionary in what he plans to build. His enthusiasm for what he does is invigorating, and the fact that he really cares about what he's providing for us is clear to see.
We'd gone for the greedy girls night, and as we relaxed into our evening we met some wonderful people and had some fabulous play. (Important to mention that if a couple with a greedy girl attend entrance is free so long as she plays with at least one other guy. Given the clientele we had no problems with meeting that criterion!)
Our plan was to go somewhere else on the following evening, but after the evening we on Thursday we woke up and agreed that we were coming back the next evening! Which we did!
We were greeted like old friends.
Friday night was quiet to begin with, but that's sometimes how clubs are. We were pretty much the first couple in, and spent the first two hours chatting and socialising with the trickle of people who turned up. By nine o'clock things were looking very different indeed and unbeknownst to us we were about to have what we can only describe as our most mind-blowingly fantastic swinging evening yet! When we finally left at 2am with fond farewells and some lovely new friends - even though we'd somehow misplaced our locker key - Dave's skeleton key is a crowbar! - we buzzed and laughed our way home through the hour's drive.
Are we going back? Count on it, my friends! And we can't wait for a Saturday night there!
To finish, Ron makes a big thing of keeping people comfortable and safe. When it says on the website that pesky, pestering single males who behave inappropriately will be ejected and banned he means it. We witnessed it happening. And we love the fact that it says LGBT friendly at all times on the door. This is the club for us!
