This is a sumptuous swingers club and hotel in Bedfordshire on the A1 not far from the Capital.

The very experienced VA management team have an insight into what is growing into a more open market and have worked very hard to find something that ticks all the boxes. From the private rural location, the licensed bar, the array of play areas, the enormous hot tub, the on site hotel rooms, the extensive dedicated car park right down to the warm smile, the personal care and attention you get from a team who know the lifestyle inside out! No membership fees till September 2011 whilst phase two of the quarter of a million pound refurbishment programme is completed. Phase one will be complete for the grand launch on Saturday 26th February. Please visit the website www.thevanillaalternative.co.uk for details of events and to register on the mailing list.

| First visit this weekend and we had a fabulous time. Brilliant, sexy and naughty people of the highest quality. The whole club is very professionally run to the highest standards. We attended the pucker up - naughty neon night and it was a brilliant night. We will certainly be returning in the near future. |

| We attended Pucker up last night not only for the sexy frolics but the night is awesome, an eclectic mix of some classic house bangers, Ibiza classics, I couldn't decide if I wanted to dance or shag, the dj plays belter after belter can't wait for the next event.
Unfortunately Benji stole the show again being a pure handsome ginger boy!! Yes he's the resident cat and we love him we spend half the night looking for him ?? |

| We attended the launch of Pucker Up and this will an event we add to our naughty calendar!!
The music was spot on with tow amazing DJ’s banging out tune after tune, as always the club was spotlessly clean and well run.
We can’t wait for the FOF in two weeks. |

| We were lucky enough to do the double this weekend at VA.
Friday night was the Shhh Newbie event which was honestly the best social event we have been too. A great group chat prior to the event and thd pre-drinks all added to a fabulous night. The demos were great and the hosts couldn’t do enough for you.
Saturday night was the fabulous Pucker Up - Naughty Neon. The Hosts/ DJs were the life and soul of the party! Was such a hot crowd and a real party atmosphere. The play was as hot as the crowd…definitely a night to remember. Can’t wait for the next one boys! |

| Fri 18th July: Newbie Night
Though we are regulars to VA, we love newbie night! We started with Twister which was a lot of fun and got people talking and laughing, and then we moved to the dungeon area for an excellent showcase of impact play. The night then swiftly moved into shenanigans in the orgy room for a ladies only session followed by threesomes, foursomes and moresomes!
Our only negative would be the music was not our vibe at all this time, but we understand and accept that ou have to cater to all tastes
If you're looking to dip your toe, try a new club or just find out more about our lifestyle (and dispel some of the myths and rumours), come along and spend the evening @ VA! |

| Visited a 12th of July Saturday, the first for about six months nice evening good vibe, shame there wasn’t a few more people there but that didn’t detract from the fun. Everybody was friendly. Club is nice and clean. Hot tub is hot. Hopefully be back again shortly.. |

| We paid our first visit to VA for the July bi night and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
We stayed in the hotel itself - rooms are fine and good value.
The club is spacious, has several nice play rooms, and the guests were a good mix of singles, couples and t-girls.
Fair play to the single guys who gave us room when asked.
Only slight downside would be the spanking benches are very close together and close to the glory holes. If you are using one you effectively block the safe use of the other benches.
Would definitely go again. |

| Our first visit to VA and although it was a bit quiet it was a great night. The jacuzzi hot tub is where all the fun started and it didn't stop all night. Plenty of play area's and there is one bed with curtains if you want some privacy. Very discreet due to location and plenty of parking, we look forward to our next visit. |

| We were confident we had discovered our favourite club until we stepped through the doors of VA. A scruffy looking building from the outside that almost put us off, but as we approached the door we were afforded a warm welcome from Brian as we entered. Palatial décor in the reception that was the theme throughout the club. Brian provided a detailed tour and then Karen sorted us with drinks at the bar.
Great places to dance, socialise and play in a building that feels like it was made for the purpose despite being 200 years old. A sizable hot tub with space for lots of people that was popular all evening and well maintained and spotlessly clean building throughout. It was also reassuring to see one guest promptly challenged when they took out a phone as they clearly take customer privacy and safety very seriously.
Staff and guests we all so friendly and welcoming all evening despite the fact we were the newbies and didn’t know anyone. Karen was very welcoming and a whizz with the cocktails and shots and the all important cold water as the evening developed. A well-stocked bar with a small range to keep most people well looked after.
Our new favourite and well worth the 3 hour trip! We have already booked tickets for the festival. Thanks for a great night.

| What better way to end our break from the Lifestyle then visiting Bi Night here.
We hadn't fully committed to going, until a good friend of ours asked to be taken to her first club night... we knew she'd be in safe hands here.
We stood back and watched the staff take the lead in giving our friend the usual attentive tour, before diving straight back in!
The crowd (and it WAS a crowd!) were lovely and friendly, the music was cheesy (that's a positive for us) and the staff were professional as ever. It was a fabulously inclusive evening, and everybody was able to be themselves.
It was great to reconnect with some old friends, and make some new ones. |

| My wife and i after many years of saying we want to attend a club finally got to go to last nights trans bi mile high event. We had literally made an account the night before and messaged James, as we noticed the email said allow up to 48 hours to be accepted - we panicked, but panic not needed! promptly accepted. so from an admin point of view very helpful and punctual. communication and helping us was 10/10.
The event was brilliant, lots of fun going on, lots of hot sexy trans, bi, and everyone in between! what an inclusive environment, we didnt get a tour , but we didnt need one as some friends showed us around. the play equipment is great fun, enjoyed most of the items ti play with (glory hole a fave) the bed space is great, managed to have 6 of us playing.
great to see some new faces, thanks to those who come and introduced themselfs to the couple of newbies x |

| Another wonderful evening in the company of the Bi Night crowd, once again, the event host Remember (James) organised a wonderful event and there was a good ratio of couples, men, women and trans-ladies in attendance. A lot of effort is put into the organisation of club events such as this one, and the vibe of the night was really bi-ootiful to see and be a part of. Thank-you X |

| Just want to state politely that Kim’s review is not accurate - there were at least half a dozen loveky trans in attendance last night - all were looking amazing and had put huge effort into their outfits and make up etc. i can be sure of that as I know 6 at least in person and had some fun with a couple of them last night. James does a great job at attracting a diverse range of guests and the event was called Trans Atlantic mile high club so clearly it attracted Trans to attend! |

| Shame to see the last review. I'm not sure what happened, but I've been to VA lots and the bi night is incredibly inclusive and full of gender fluidity. I wasnt the only one last night. There were quite a few of us and I had such a fun evening! Thanks James and the VA team! |

| Awful. If you are a tgirl forget this place. You'll be the only tgirl there, and no one will be interested in you. So 100% avoid it's a bisexual club but not for trans |

| Really late review (sorry!). Attended on Saturday 1st March for our second time. This visit we found it much more welcoming and hit it off with another couple (couple from Diss if you see this, hit us up!! Would be lovely to keep in touch)
Couldn't fault the staff at all. Facilities were good except shared toilets were a bit rank and the hot tub was a not hot tub.
Hopefully the temp will be cranked up higher when we return soon! |

| What a ride FoF was!! The V.A. team are just the best in the country! They work so hard to make sure everyone has a great time. They put on a feast on Thursday & opened the club Sunday night so we could all continue the party together for one last time. The games were the best they’ve ever had. The band are top notch and the DJ’s played banging tunes. Absolutely had the best time. Can’t wait for August. |

| I attended the May Festival of Fun and had such a fantastic time.
The hardworking VA team really pulled out all the stops to make sure everybody felt relaxed and enjoyed themselves.
From letting people camp early on the Thursday and providing them with fabulous complimentary food, to a brilliant band and great atmosphere both in and around the indoor and outdoor hot tubs, outdoor bar and the club.
They even opened up the club on Sunday night, because it was a little chilly outside and so we all finished off the festival in style.
I'm very much looking forward to August when we can do this all again.
An epic shout out, and many thanks to the amazing VA owners, management and team. |

It was a well organised event with professional workshops, they had the best DJ’s who had the place rocking every night and the VA team who facilitated in making sure everyone had a good time. We look forward to the Summer Festival of Fun in August for more fun and frolics.
Thank you Team VA for creating another successful event and working relentlessly to make it a great weekend for your members … we all appreciate it xx |
