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..

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.

Made use of our free entry ticket (everyone who went on the 18th Feb was given free entry to the 19th Feb) after the big party the night before.

Really nice relaxed vibe, with some lovely bar snacks and nibbles and had a giggle with the staff and fellow guests on experiences of the big night previous.

Few single guys about were respectful, and from what we could see only got involved when they were asked rather than be pushy and try and intrude.

Would definitely go back on a Sunday again if doing the Saturday night previous based on our recent experience.

Went to VA on 18th Feb - We had co arranged and hosted the night, originally without telling VA our plans.. whoops. Thankfully they found out, and were able to plan ahead a bit.

Not realising how many people would turn up.. we had over 200 party goers, and was an outstandingly good night. Such a great atmosphere, with all age ranges and play types - everyone was just so friendly.. dont think we saw anyone left out, standing in a corner.

Hopefully we'll arrange another.. here's some additional feedback that we got from the night.

----------------------------------------

"This was our first visit to The VA....needless to say we ll be back. This is without doubt, the sexiest classiest club that we ve visited. Last Saturday was amazing, so many beautiful people & so great to catch up with so many that we chat too. Missblonde, please be sure to remind us of any parties that you re involved in, we ll be there if you ll have us. Thanks for a great night guys Xx "

----------------------------------------

"First time there, wall to wall sexy peeps! We had a great time - will definately cum again! ;-) "

----------------------------------------

"Wow, what a night...A fantastic venue & the sexiest guests!! The best possible mix. So good to meet so many sexy friends from the site. Roll on the next one. "

----------------------------------------

"First time at TVA, had a great time, super venue!"

"This night had it all,wall to wall sexy peeps,great venue and fab atmos,bring on the next one! xx "

Wow what a night, and amazing club, now even more excited about our up coming event there on thursday 5th april.

This was simon and myselves 1st party night visit, even though we had been there to meet the staff on a previous occasion, now this is what a swinging party is all about.

This club is so clean, wet area looked super clean, and all the play area,s was in full SWING lol

The staff was so friendly, and mingled with all their guest, security was to be seen at all times, and mmmmmmm how sexy did scott and colin look in their suits (yum yum).

Alot of clubs Ive been to are clicky, but this so wasnt the case here, everyone chatted to everyone, we had a brilliant time, and only hope our launch night will be as exciting as it was last night.

Guys well done it was a wonderful night, and this club will go from strenght to strenght...

Our first visit to the club and I have to admit it has that WOW effect can't believe that we drove past here to go to Tease II. Wonderful hosts who took time to show us round the club, good clean wet area and fabulous play rooms. Less than an hour from London, this has got to be one of the best clubs south of Birmingham.

As one of the owners of The VA, can I just apologise to anyone that attempted to make it here in all the snow last Sunday.

We had to close for the day as over night we developed 2 burst pipes and had a large amount of damage done to the bar area. We sadly had to make the decision not to open as it would have been dangerous and not very conducive to a nice day seeing all of us knee deep in water in our wellies (unless you have a welly fetish) All the heating system as well as the hot tub had to be closed down, so opening would have been a real disappointment to anyone that had arrived.

My abject apologies to the couple in the chatroom that either did or wanted to come and was upset that we was not open, be assured that we will only not open in exceptional circumstance.

However all the damage is repaired and we are open as always.

Had an amazing night at the VA last night, first time at a club and this was the right choice! Great people, great staff, great atmosphere and just great! Stayed in the hotel and have no complaints, it was nice to wander back to the room at 4am and not worry about cabs. We will be visiting again very soon and can't wait! xxx

Our second visit to VA was even sexier than the first, even though the turnout was relatively small due to the snow. We had a great, relaxing, sexy time - special thanks to R and S for making it so memorable :)

We stayed over in one of the hotel rooms, which are very convenient but (at least in the case of the one we stayed in) are in need of renovation - however it's really nice not to have to drive home at the end of a tiring evening.

Ventured out on a nasty snowy night half expecting to be the only people there, but luckily all the hotel rooms had filled before the snow started and 3 other lunatic couples made it too:)

Warm and cosy and played with 2 very sexy newby couples, lucky us. Had our very own kinky corner, lol.

Special mention to the hosts, towards the end of the evening, when they realised the snow wasn't going to get any better, they offered for all of the couples who hadn't got rooms to stay in the club and make everybody breakfast the next morning, a really nice touch.
