We visited VA last night for our first time having not been before to a club or knowing what to expect. Well even before hand, we had great conversations with Sharon who put our mind at rest.

On the night, we got there at just before it opened. The doors were locked and we must have looked like startled rabbits in the headlights. Another couple - later we found out regulars and the photographer for VA - put us at rest as we were waiting and we were soon let in. Everyone was friendly and made us feel very welcome. It was hard not knowing what to expect but all of those apprehension disappeared within minutes. The bar is a great communal area where chatting is encouraged and we can see on visiting again that as you build up friendships, it will be great.

Not knowing what to expect, we were given a great guiding tour by Sharon who explained the various things and we felt no pressure - for once, we could be ourselves, see where the night took us and not feel judged for what we were wearing or not wearing.

Whilst we found it difficult to chat at the bar - probably the nerves a bit - there were many friendly people and Tia soon suggested that we try out the hot tub. We were first in there and let's just say it was 2 hours before we got out. We made some great friends and everyone was respectful to each other.

There's lots more we could say but we'll leave it there and just say that we would recommend the club to anyone - first timers to experienced - and looking forward to going back.

Now to arrange babysitters etc.

Thanks to all xx

Wow what a fantastic club VA IS CREME DE LA CREME .

This was my second visit to this amazing club with my beautiful female wife to be and boy it did not disappoint from the moment we walked in this club def has the X factor soft warm lighting beautiful decor friendly bar staff polite receptionist leather couches in meeting area.

The owners Scott and Jules warm friendly and sexy down to earth no airs and graces I've visited many clubs up and down the country at one time i used to be a club promoter in London so i think i know a thing or two about clubs specially in the West end but enough about me.

The way the club is laid out is amazing playrooms hot tub chill area where if you are a smoker you can have a smoke in peace and not get cold, clean toilets sociable people who are not clicky in any way! Check out the VA girls lots of fun if you are first timers or experienced I would urge you give VA A SPIN DEF WORTH THE MEMBERSHIP FIVE STAR RATING. Joe and Bloggsy

Just returned from another wonderful evening at this first class club. Probably not their busiest night, however a great mix of couples and singles? Plenty of activity on the social side of things and interactions going on in the play areas. The staff here are very welcoming and the venue is always spotless. We highly recommend this club and look forward to our next visit.

We have been to this club a couple of time now, and what can you say apart from it's Great. Great guests, great staff and the layout is Fab.....

The hot tub is a must. If you ever fancy a night out you must go and you never know might bump into us there. Also the Hotel next door is fantastic for the late night you will have....

Hope they keep the Sunday evenings going as it is the best way to wind down with other likewise adults before the Monday rat race begins.

Looking forward to the Xmas parties xx

We visited the VA for the second time on 8th & 9th November for my birthday. I was the girl in the corset on Bond night - (themindoors - if anyone wants to get in touch!)

The club has the friendliest staff, great facilities and is clean and well looked after. The accommodation for some rooms is basic but clean however this time we had a suite which was lovely with lots of room.

We had so much fun over the two nights and cant wait for our next visit. Shame its 250 miles away but well worth the effort!!

Went to VA on the 8/11/13, having been to the festival of fun we couldn't wait to go back.

We both really like this club, the staff are friendly and nothing is ever to much bother.

The club itself is spotless and the rooms are great value for money.

We'll be back again and again :-D

Travelled over from Jersey for our first VA visit Saturday 9th November for the Bond theme night and booked into Room 9 over the club. A brilliant night in classy surroundings full of nice attractive couples, friendly staff and a comfortable ensuite room for just £50. We'll definately be back to this lovely club for more !
