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.

We went to VA's again on Sunday for a Super Sunday chill-out session, which actually turned out to be a Red Hot Session.

Fantastic venue to un-wind in, the hospitality is second to none.

Scott and Jules are that chilled out they even get in the Hot tub with you..Whilst Dax keeps it all chilled out behind the Bar

Go on then, find another club where the Staff pamper you that much...

We had our first visit to the VA last night on 28th Jan. We plucked up the courage to come in fancy dress for the Rocky Horror night.

We were one of the first to arrive so got a chance to have a good look around. The decor is amazing, with loads of subtle lighting and touches like sculptures and plants.

The disco has a great laser show, the bar is really well stocked and professionally run. You can even run up a tab against your locker number to save having to carry around money.

When the club began to fill we met some really friendly people, and ended up on the expansive play area near the hot tub, and had a very happy ending :-D

We're now paid up members and this will definitely be our regular spot.

We visited this club for the first time last night. We are relatively new to swinging (though not first club). We found the staff very professional and welcoming. The venue is fantastic, very clean and relaxed. The playrooms are beautifully laid out and condusive to to a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Jacuzzi is fantastic - albeit a little too hot (temperature wise!) - and a great place to meet, chat and play. Lockers are a great touch as are the plentiful clean towels. All in all, the best venue we have been too, and we look forward to returning soon :)

Went to VA again on the 28th January for the Rocky Horror night. The club keeps getting better. It wasn't so busy and only half or so were in fancy dress but we still had a great time and met some lovely people. The hotel refurb is coming on well. This time we were in room 9, just done up and nice, they've sorted the heating system as well. We were above the club and could hear the music as they set up so if you wanted and early night you might not get to sleep but as we were one of the last ones to leave it didn't bother us. The wall between us and the next room is a bit thin and we could hear the conversation as if they were in the room with us. There wasn't any hanging area either in the room and a towel rail screwed under the beam would suffice in case you bring a nicely pressed dress or shirt.

All in all it's building on a great base and getting better every time. Thanks to all we met.

I love this club, it is my local and I will be visiting lots and lots of times. Can't beat it for a relaxed friendly atmosphere, very large jacuzzi and sumptuous play areas. Loads of theme nights and honest genuine people who frequent there.

Went to this club on NYE and we were very impressed, from the well dressed staff on arrival, through to the greeting and the rooms! The rooms are amazing, classy, contempary and well thought out. Unlike other places where it feels like furniture has been bought at a carboot sale and mismatched, this is Premier League! and the other clubs we have visited are conference league lol. We had fun with some lovely people and looking round there were some very very sexy people there. We will be getting membership and we will be returning. We LOVE this place.

New Years Eve 2011 was our first visit to a club ever and we chose VA based on the reviews on this site - we were not disappointed!!!!

Everyone was very friendly and welcoming and the bar/dance area were really classy. The atmosphere was great, as were the staff.

The play areas were really nice but initially very busy, however there was always space for us to slot in somewhere :-)People in the play areas were very respectful and we had no hassles or unwanted advances.

What a fabulous introduction to swinging!! We will definitely come again....and again and again ;-)

The main night of the year at the club of the year and the night of the year! Absolutely amazing. What can I say? The team pulled out all the stops and just when you thought things couldn't get any better. As usual the people were fantastic. Thanks to everyone for making it a night to remember. The club to beat in 2012.

second visit to this classy well run and fun club, we dont usually go to clubs on a singles night but found ALL the singles to be polite and well behaved. So yes we will definately be going back on a singles night. First time couples, this would be the place to go.

Yet again Scott, Julie, Colin and Michelle raise the bar. A fantastic night last Saturday in what is now the Uk's premier club my a million miles. Sheer quality and a great bunch of people yet again. Little less heating next time please guys!

Only criticism (and its not one of the club) too many people tend to only play with themselves - more full swappers needed! Roll on NY Eve :-)

Went on Sat 19th November. Arrived early and had guided tour by one of the staff. The building is an old roadside inn.

The bar, snug and dance floor have been done up and are nice but nobody danced when we were there.

Then come the play rooms with large flat bed type areas and some "private" areas and a huge jacuzzi. They supply a never ending stock of towels and a free buffet at about 10.30pm.

It seems that nothing much happens except drinking and chatting until the food then it's all off at Haydock!!

We had a great time.

The attached hotel is run down and in need of work which they are doing as funds come along. It is an old building without a straight line in the place!!

There is a Premier Inn about a mile up the road but we stayed at the club and didn't have to drive/book a cab.

The beds are clean and comfy.

4/5 we will go again as the party goers and staff were great

Hi all,

Firstly a humungeous thankyou to all of you that helped us raise funds for our service charities, and made the effort to dress up and make the evening a great success.

Can I just add that, we do not have lockable rooms, although we do have private rooms that are curtained off. One of the owners is an ex fireman, and from his point of view (one we all agree with) lockable rooms are a danger. Please let me explain. If (god forbid) there was ever a fire in the building, our priority is to make sure each and every visitor is out of the building quickly and safely, if we have to start fannying around trying to open locked rooms as someone thinks it's probally a false alarm it wastes time and endangers life. Secondly from both mine and michelles point of view as at one time we were both single ladies on the scene, lockable rooms are risky. With the best will in the world, we dont always know the people we end up with. So being able to get out of a room easily through a curtain rather than fighting to get out of a locked room, is actually reassuring. Some of you on the scene may be aware of a situation in another club a couple of years ago that resulted in an attempted murder trial !!!! Thank heavens it's the only case weve ever heard of, but the safety of our visitors is always the most important thing for us.

We are well aware that we cannot please everyone, some have reviewed that we need lockable rooms, someone else says that the rooms dont give enough oppertunity to mingle !!?? All I can say is everyone is welcome, each visitor is appreciated, and thankyou to everyone for taking the time to post a review.

Jules xxxxxx

Like most have already said "Fabulous". This is the best Naughty Venue since Sliced Bread. We too have been lots of times and will continue to enjoy many more visits in the future.

If you can find Luxury like VA's anywhere else in the UK, you will be very lucky....

Brilliant night..Thank you all once again

We have been to VA a couple of times and have now become full members, so that shows how much we like the place, as there are other clubs closer to us

We're guessing the regular swingers will know all about the club scene and clubs in general, so will just echo what has already been said here, this is a great club with well thought out facilities, to make everyone relaxed and comfortable be it on the social or playing side. It's clear the management have looked at things from a very professional perspective and know what everyone needs and wants for a good time, because it's all here!

From the newbie angle, as we were and still are really, this is a great club for your first delve into the club scene. The management are fantastic, friendly and put you at ease right from the off. The bar is like a normal pub, just with slightly skimpier outfits on the ladies (unless you live in Newcastle!!) and the atmosphere is very relaxed with no pressure from anyone. We've met some great couples just to chat to, so much more interesting conversation than the local! Lol. If you don't want to play then don't, no hassle from anywhere, but I would recommend at least to try the hot tub if nothing else ;) One slight concern for us on our first visit was there are no lockable rooms, but there are rooms off to the side with curtains and people do respect it if they are closed. But I bet you'll soon be in one of the main rooms in no time, seeing and being seen ;)

Simply, it's a great club for new and experienced players. If you're a newbie wondering if you should try a club, then look no further than VA, you will have a great night! R and J xx

We attended the charity night do on Saturday in support of our troops, as usual the owners and staff were all dressed up for the night, they had also done the club up in a spectacular way, many members had also made the effort to dress up for the evening and the was an excellent buzz in the club, basically it is just keeps getting better and better at this club, so if you haven’t given it a try yet then we highly recommend you do.

This is truly a brilliant club, great staff, very friendly, everyone makes you feel welcome, the jaccuzi is awesome, really intimate play areas very comfortable & stylish, great decor and set up, sometimes some single males can be a pain, but there is good and bad in everyone so it's not fair to label All singles. Recommend this club to all, give it a try you wont be disappointed, it's brilliant!

Well, would normally respond to another review, but i think its only fair.

So, this is the best club in the UK. So i guess to have been to them all. And theres nothing wrong with the club, in your opinion. This and every club don't suit everyone. People we spoke to didn't slag the club off, there were just a couple of things they were not keen on, and they sound like things that might put us off as well. We like rooms were you can shut and lock the door, especially on single guy nights. VA doesn't have this, though i believe that is being rectified. Also, from what we had heard and read on the VA site, you can't go into the play araes with your cloths on. I don't know if this is an old rule that has been changed or was just not enforced last night. Personally, i would rathyer stay dressed until i am ready to do other wise, but thats just me.

That being said, we liked the club much more than expected and we would deffinatly go back, most likely on a Sat night. But Tease is still our favorite. But if every club was the same, it would be pretty boring wouldn't it.
