| VA is a very well run and thought out club.
The staff, hosts and owners are all really lovely people, willing to help where they can (including joining in the fun if the night allows - we've seen it happen). The guests are all lovely, friendly and welcoming.
A very nice club with a great feel and lovely décor - no mdf or dodgy industrial location here! Huge hot tub, separate and adjoining bed spaces - and a few curtained off private areas for the more shy amongst us all. Dance floor, snug areas to boot for a civilised chat away from the music, and a lot more too.
For us, this is the club to go to facilities wise, however it does attract an older club goer those of around 40's plus. Most likely due to it's rural location, away from large towns and cities and it's higher prices on entrance and at the bar.
If you are of a older age like 40's plus and are the type to enjoy a discerning night of pleasure with like minded and like aged guests then VA should probably be your first choice. Think it got 2nd place in the UK with a recent "sex in the cities" book review too, we can see why!
If you are of a 20/30's age group (like us) and looking for the same then it may not be your type of club as younger guests are very few between - shame really, well for us anyway! So if you like the club or are interested in the club then it would probably be best to take a group - oh, and please send an invite our way too, cheers! lol. |

| We went to VA a couple of weeks ago and had a really enjoyable night. The club is very luxurious and has a quality feel to it. The owners were very friendly and gave us a very in depth tour of the club. We stayed in the VA hotel as well and found that it was very comfortable and good value for money. Both the club and the hotel were extremely clean and well kept. We would highly recommend this club to anyone and look forward to going again when we are in the area. |

| This is our third visit to the club since it opened, but it’s been sometime since our last visit (early 2011) The club is about an hours drive out of the North London suburbs, getting there by public transport is not recommended and there is plenty of on site and well secured parking. As with the previous visits, we have always gone on a Couples Only Night. We had organised something of a ‘Treasure hunt’ with the club that night, so our apologies to anyone who were playing while people were sneaking past looking for clues under pillows and such. We did leave them in such obvious places we thought they would all be found well before the normal playing emmigration hour.
If you want a detailed description of the layout of the club please scroll down to the previous review near the bottom of this forum. In brief the club is in a converted pub / hotel on the A1 and the owners have done a fantastic job of converting the place. The facilities and staff are all great and it’s clear that Jules is the anchor of the place. The DJ did a good job but even though the dance floor has been moved, (big improvement) people still didn’t get up to dance (Male pole dancer demonstration aside) This was odd because every girl and some of the guys that we spoke to, and we spoke to lots, all wanted to get up and have a boogie and they liked the music, so the question is why didn’t they? We think the DJ though great, as stated by one of the regulars, needs to take control of the crowd a little bit more, interact and get them going. One of the issues with the venue is how ever you lay it out, you really do have to fit in with the floor plan of the building and it’s not too likely to fit in with you. So we can fully appreciate the owners have their work cut out with getting every space here to fully work for them. Although the old dance floor area is a great space that is waiting for alternate use and does provide a great area for visiting groups/private hires we would certainly like to see it some how ingratiate its presence more on a weekly basis. Certainly foam parties on a hot summers day (if we get any more) would work really well here. Having read over the criticisms that were mentioned elsewhere below, we cannot agree with comments about lack of towels or dirty toilets. The toilets have always been spotless here, and there is never a shortage of towels around. Certainly the club is not faultless. The hot shower near the vast Jacuzzi wasn’t working. Its aware that with the current layout some areas of the club are more redundant than they should be. Some additional toiletries in the hotel bedrooms would be most welcome, but the bedrooms are clean, the beds comfortable and the shower hot (both when we arrived and when we got up) are the most important things on our list but we were aware that if someone has an impromptu orgy in the room next door until 5am while doing their best to win the Oscar for biggest screaming and most often repeated female orgasm, then you will hear it!! (Hazard of staying over at any swingers venue really) Be aware that not all the rooms are the same, and vary in size. The club is very friendly and we do not feel its cliquey at all, the staff are always on hand to help out without being intrusive even if they do occasionally look like they are undercover for a Presidential motorcade. We have heard comments of people saying the clientele were more on the older side when we have been out elsewhere and as with any club, on some nights that might be true, not so last Saturday. An extremely youthful looking crowd were in attendance, we don’t mean to suggest that there weren’t people of all ages, there were, but they certainly looked great. There was as much socialising as there was playing and the new couples that we spoke to said for their first club experience they felt very comfortable there. Though there is still work to do at VA, this is a great club, and there’s probably only ten clubs in the UK of a similar standard. If you’re going to book a room when you visit, booking ahead is advised it’s often booked up two to three weeks ahead, but always double check last minute for cancellations. If not there’s no shortage of hotels in the area.

| Read the review left by cheekygirl. Anyone who has ever been to the clubs named by her would know she's on an agenda! Yes, nowhere's perfect and all can pick issues with every club, but VA is the classiest club in the uk right now!! All the issues she desribed, every club has them from time to time. So, please ingore her stupid agenda driven comments and see for yourself as you'll be amazed at how good it really is!! |

| 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. :) |

| 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 :-) |

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.

| 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'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 |

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 |
