Just been reading threw the reviews and came across the one on the 15th of April, and have to say they must have gone to the wrong club. VA is the cleanest club I have gone too, staff are help full, and a good laugh,

By reading the reviews on VA which are all true, the person writing the review on the 15th need to get there facts right.... Love VA be back soon

We went on the sunday, on there free open day, great idea for first timers to check this wonderful venue. Host were lovely and even went out of there way to come and get us, as we got lost on the black cat roundabout, after me taking directions from the wife. If she says turn left, i usually turn right and so on, but on this occasion gave her the benefit of my ever increasing doubt to get us to the venue, as she had the trusted satnav. problem was she tapped in anywhere!!!!!! say no more. Anyway rant over, back to the venue and hosts. Open areas were great and busy throughout the day. We spent alot of time in the hot tub with some very chatty and funny guests, a good laugh actully, and met some familiar faces. The food was welcome, well done guys!!! and plenty of seating to lounge to unwind with a cool drink from the bar. Thanks for showing us the hotel rooms on offer and took note when the gentleman informed us on future works planned to these areas, but as they say Rome was not built in a day so chill, its all good. The art sculpture in the open areas are a nice touch as are the white towels on the dark bed sheets, illuminating these features, very effective, very clean, well done. I could go on but all in all a good day. Only down sides no lockable rooms but to be fair it made a nice change to have something different. Thanks to the hosts who were full of smiles, keep up the good work. xx Mick & Bunny xx

No doubt the best club in the UK. So spacious, clean and comfortable. An amazing venue with a great management team in place, you really are made welcome here. Caters well for all and includes a huge hot tub / jacuzzi, and dancefloor. Professional bar service at reasonable prices and special free nights for those that become members (membership being optional another huge bonus for those who like to try before committing). This is the only club you will find me at these days. :)

I adore this club, it's setting, the ambience and the staff....as a single female swinger it is the only club I feel 100% safe in...with the staff & owners always keeping a watchful eye on me I can safely say I relax here as much as I do at home.

Just a truly wonderful club & always a pleasure to attend...see you all soon and thank you for caring xxxx

We have been away from VA for a while (checking out the clubs over in the west london area) and thought it was time to 'pop up the road' to VA.

Friday night, wow - loads of people, nice and chilled, lots of fun on the pole and a great atmosphere all round.

Spent some time in the tub and the rooms and....didnt have a pack of men following us around or (as we now call it) doing laps ;-)

Great chilled, no stress night, VA is still our number 1, keep up the good work guys :-)

I know, another silly arse jumping on the bandwagon waving the flag and stamping our feet..

OK 185 reviews all positive and 2 not so positive

Think that says everything really..We have been members from day one and think it is fantastic..You certainly have our support

just one point, does make one think a little when any Club is rubbished and 2 others are promoted (not that we have been to the other two, so not really in a position to judge them)..

See you soon at this lovely place, with the lovely staff and their very sexy fan base

Been to this fantastic club twice in the past and cant wait to go again, we've really missed it. Hope to get back sooner rather than later. Stayed in the rooms on both occasions as it's a fair old trek from us and couldn't fault the facilities. The staff are awesome and really go above and beyond to ensure you have a great time!

If you haven't been yet, give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

Have to agree the club is very clean, it has a country pub feel making it very inviting. Couples there tend to be classy dressed and rather attractive. The Jacuzzi is a good ice breaker but is a bit daunting stepping in whilst everyone looks on. Only downside is its rather expensive at £45 for non members and I think that might have contributed for it being a bit quiet on the night we went.

Have to make a comment after the negative review...... All the staff are very very friendly. They go out of their way to make you welcome. Just wished they were closer to us and we'd be there more often. Have met some very very nice people and had some great times and good laughs. Whether you're a newbie or not, give VA a try - you'll love it. Gert & Bert

Been to this club a few times and love it there. Staff are very friendly, Facilities are great. Hotel has got better, don't stay if its really cold out but the jacuzzi is the main focal point of the night. You can play privately or openly. We would recommend this club to newbies or experienced people. Only down point i can find is you should have to be naked to use the jacuzzi. Can be off putting to new or inexperienced couples. Overall 9.5 out of 10

Fabulous is Not the Word it should be TOP CLASS 5*.

We also can not believe the 1 & only Bad Review that a couple gave & we Totally Agree 110% with Everyone else who has wrote a review on VA.

I Myself am also a very Fussy & picky person.

We have visited many venues before, but after Just one visit back in Feb 2012, we became members with out thinking twice, we have been back many times & every single time it has been 110% in ALL AREAS.

Julie & Scott are the most nicest, friendliest, helpful people we have ever met.

But as we have always said the prove is in the eating.

Who you gonna believe ??? 1 couple or the other 99.9%

Also we have stayed over night, Not had the Luxury room, but our,s was 100% CLEAN, even had our own TV, Kettle with all different drinks, Clean Fresh Towels,Soap & Shampoo provided & the Bed was so so comfy.

Now all this is from one very Fussy Lady.

Dont believe me contact me on our profile.

I'm truly surprised to see the negative review for this club on here, having been twice very recently I can honestly say I was amazed at the high standards of this club. I've been to a few clubs now and Vanilla is head and shoulders above all of them. The toilets are fabulous and spotlessly clean the playrooms are large and spacious the lockers plentiful and the buffet a bonus! The staff were equally as friendly and welcoming. I wouldn't hesitate to return and hope I do soon

We were invited to attend the "Eyes wide shut" launch at this club....so here are our thoughts...I am an extremely fussy person! (sorry)..and I set my bar really high! The venue was excellent. Although I ususally prefer private rooms, the way the club is set out works really well for people like me. There are lots of cubby holes to get sexy/naughty in...and the open room is set up so that you don't feel as though you're on a stage. As for our room..we had the best one! It was really large, spacious, and the bathroom had 2 basins..(hate having to share) with a double ended bath, AND a seperate shower as well. The building was really clean, and the staff were helpful. We're really looking forward to returning...(please can we have the same room) over the may bank holiday..and confirming with the owners, that they do indeed have an upmarket venue, set in glorious grounds..

If you are a person who dislikes good service, upmarket venue, people who are friendly, well dressed, and want to play...then don't attend, you'll hate it!

Many thanks to the entire team..

are we talking about the same club cheekygirl030, we have been to VA several times and found the staff very friendly the club and hotel rooms very clean, such a fun place to be, we have been to a lot of clubs in the uk and europe and this is by far the best

We went to this club on Saturday and will keep going back in future! We read the crap review that someone has left and it is unreal and nonsense as the owners are friendly and helpful and all the staff are caring. The place smells great, the toilets are spotless, have plenty of toilet paper (including extra rolls in case any cubicle runs out) and soap (in plentifull pump style containers), lots of towels (we were given an extra one on Saturday without any bother) and great facilities.

We have never stayed in the place but everyone we have spoken to who has says it's fine.

We don't think that our hobby is unusual and we love sharing it with the other fab people who go to The VA.

Just in case anyone thinks we promote The VA over other clubs, we also go to Libs and Bath and they're great too.

We can't wait to go back to The VA or the other clubs we go to for another fun packed evening.

I went to this venue for the first time recently and agree how clean the place is which is paramount in my view! I love the layout and how its all on one level- I feel this makes for even better socialising! I felt comfortable as soon as I walked through the door. The hosts are very friendly and welcoming..and I felt safe. A place I would def return to in the future.

I've been to the VA on several occasions, and it amazes me how ppl can say its unclean.... ive been in this scene for 15 yrs, and this club is the cleanest, nicest, most friendly club ive been to and ive been to loads.

The hotel is under change at the moment, but as we all know rome wasnt built in a day.

The owners Jules and scot ate great ppl, def not arrogant at all, very accomadating hence why myself and my business partner decided to hold our eyeswideshut parties at this club.

Each time ive been, there has been plenty of towels, the toilets and play areas are very hygienic indeed, out of all the reviews at this club, you will get the odd 1 or 2 who dont like it, but read all the rest whom say different, work it out for yourself.

WHY LIE PEOPLE????

We went to this club a couple of weeks ago and will avoid it like the plague in future! We read these crap reviews that leave and they are unreal and nonsense as the owners were arrogant and unhelpful, the only nice member of staff was a bar man - the rest didn't care. The place stunk like a rancid rabbits cage and was dirty, the toilets were unclean and without toilet paper and soap, severe lack of towels and the facilities sucked.

We were unfortunate to have to stay in the place that they dare call a hotel, that was also, surprisingly - DIRTY! They do not even have a hook to hang a coat, neve mind a cupboard or storage for you clothes.

Just because our hobby is unusual to most, doesn't mean that we have to accept this sort of crap! Stop writing invalid reviews people as some of us take it as gospel and try these clubs out - what a waste of money - any wants a good club, go to Liberty Elite or Tease II, we highly recommend these.

On a good note - the DJ was excellent - great job x

Went to the eyeswideshut party here on April 5th. Fantasic venue, well thought out organisation with attention to detail, this was a first class party at a top class venue. The staff were attentive and prominent throughout the night enabling a chilled no pressure environment. The club was well laid out, clean and had a great range of facilities. I would like more private rooms but still had chance to dabble!!!! lol

This is as good as it's cracked up to be. Well-designed for elegance and comfort, made us feel thoroughly sensual. Playroom beds considerably more comfortable than we've got at home! Lovely big hot-tub. Everything immaculately kept. Staff very friendly and helpful. We went on Saturday night. Atmosphere was relaxed, but not much interaction between couples - only saw one more-than-twosome all night, and I think they came in together. But we certainly got our rocks off in an exhibitionistic/voyeuristic sense. We'll definitely go again - probably on a Sunday when people may be more open to sharing.

We paid our first visit to VA on Saturday night and can only say great things about it.

The welcome from the staff when we checked into one of their rooms set the tone for the night. The room was clean and stylish and this was echoed throughout the club itself. The bar area was a great place to mingle and meet other couples, the drinks very reasonably priced and had a great atmospehere. The play areas were lovely and the hot tub was awesome!

Overall a fantastic place. Can't wait to go back.

Went a few weeks ago and had another fabulous night looked after by the staff and some very sexy couples.

Another great night with the only complaint being we were shattered the next day again:)

We attended on sat night with our friends this was not our first visit so reviewing it as a regular. As most reviews say this is a very well run club. very clean plenty of room and for us not so far away. From at point of view for club newbees i would suggest this club as you can relax and either particape or just keep yourself to yourselves

We visited this place last night, and as our first time in a swingers club- we've been spoilt! It was classy, friendly, very well considered- everything from towels, a choice of play areas, lockers, and midnight buffet!

The hot tub was very steamy, and very sexy!

From what I can gather the owners are swingers themselves and set the place up to be a classier place for swingers to have fun! It works! Very friendly place!

I think it's hit and miss for attendance, maybe 30 people last night, but apparently 250 last weekend for a theme night so pick wisely depending on what you prefer!

I feel I should add the hotel is rumoured to be haunted!

Fab place! Would go back! Masquerade in May apparently- see you there! XxX

We had the pleasure of attending this club last night with friends of ours. We had heard very good things about this place from various couples we know and we can now see why. A very well run place and to be honest cannot fault it at all. Great team running it, plenty of car parking and lots and lots of play areas. As those who have attended will know this venue has a great hot tub. It was hot and mini pool would do it more justice!

A great Saturday night with good friends spent at the perfect venue. We will be attending again. fantastic place!

I will have to be honest on my experience. Went to the club on Friday night. There was only maybe 12 people in the club. The price for a non mamber single male is £50.00 which is higher than stated on the web page.So Avoid going on a Friday. its the most expensive swim i have ever had.

Having said all that it is a very nice and well thought out club. I would recomend goig there on a saturday night.

with a partner instead. It is supposed to be very busy. with a few more people the club would be amazing.
