We went to this club sat night and was met at the door by a very friendly doorman, on entering the fantastic building the reception was really clean and friendly. We had a tour which was very informative and realised how much effort and thought had gone into designing this fantastic venue. We think this is going to be one of the best clubs in europe, roll on next time..xx

We visited this club on a Saturday (Couples night) When you drive up to the new ‘Vanilla Alternative’ venue (Conveniently located in a former country pub and hotel right next door to the A1) the tall Victorian chimneys of the main building had me half expecting to be greeted by David Niven in his butler outfit (And had he still been around he may well have done) The premises, with its beautiful rear garden ensconced by the river Ouse is ideally located for the Northern Home counties and is a 45 minute drive from North London. On arrival we were greeted by Michelle one of the proprietors’ who showed us round the venue and to our rooms. The venue has 14 rooms on site and we strongly advise you book in advance should you wish to use them. As the club is still going through its refurbishment the owners will freely admit the rooms are presently at a basic standard, so bare this mind, they are however perfectly functional and more importantly clean and include television with free-view, en suite (Optional) and tea and coffee. The plan over the coming months is for these rooms to be transformed into themed suites but they are more than adequate for the time being. The club facilities themselves are all based on the ground floor. Outside there is ample parking for well over 50 cars. Once past the reception and cloak room you will enter the main bar area off which there is also a sunken spacious dance floor with DJ booth, well suited for the planned summer foam parties. The bar and lounge also has plenty of room for dancing, there is a pole, and a snug with a fireplace. (A snug with eight chesterfield sofas is a large snug in anyone’s imagination) Beyond the main social area are the playing areas of the club. From a central corridor there are three open playing areas each with a vast amount of space, three smaller more enclosed beds are also connected to these rooms which have curtains that can be closed for privacy. The jewel in the crown is the sunken warm (Perhaps a little too warm at the start of evening) Jacuzzi, (Chlorine free) one of the largest in any venue in the UK with room for thirty or more. This area is surrounded by play beds and showers and there are plenty of towels available. From this area you can also easily access your room upstairs should you be staying over. There is a heated courtyard covered area for smokers outside and ample toilet facilities. The venue is clean, cosy and tastefully lit and decorated, with the Vanilla Alternatives purple décor a soothing presence throughout the venue.

On the night we visited (Their sixth weekend of opening) there was about 100 people in attendance, with the average of the females around 36 and the men around 44, and importantly everyone made an effort to dress up with more sexy outfits than a catwalk in Paris fashion week. A good time was certainly had by all it seemed and there was a very friendly atmosphere and once again this a venue where couples very much played as couples they whole night, there was no ‘ticketing going on here’ Making this an ideal club for nervous first timers. Prices for couples on a Saturday are £35 and the bar serves everything at reasonable prices, there is also a free finger buffet served at 10pm. Future plans include a dungeon in the large basement area (currently being renovated) which will be ready for their massive all fetish weekend in September.

It is clear that the owners have put their heart and soul into this venue and it shows from the tasteful décor, friendly and helpful staff and the sexual charged atmosphere that their environment creates on any given night. Once the remaining work is completed it is almost certain to become the best venue in the UK. Its prices are competitive, they say you get what you pay for and that is certainly true here.

Have been to this club a couple of times now, having been prevvious members of Libs. We love the friendly atmosphere with wonderful staff and clients, a brilliant example of how a sophiticated clean club should be run, well done to all the team.

If you are looking for your first club experience then this club is for you, as you will never want to go anywhere else once tried!

Swingers clubs in this region are all unique but this one raises the bar and shows alot of the others how it should be done.

Still a work in progress but immaculately clean, and great staff.

I would recommend everyone tries this club. . you will want to return. x

This was our first visit to VA. We have always said that after we have tried only 2 other clubs in the midlands, that we would only use libs as we could not see anywhere being as clean and professionaly run and this has always been the case until this weekend,

We decided to try VA,(After reading the reviews and after speaking to a few people who had tried this new club, we were off on the long journey to Bedfordshire,

Deep down that we knew it would be of a very high standard but we were amazed at this exceptional club.

The lay out has been really studied and could have only been achieved by people who knew what they are doing,

This is a truely amazing club and deserves this revue.

Well done all the staff and people who have worked so hard to achieve what they have in such a short time.

Can not wait for our next visit.

Come on folks try it you will not be disapointed.

This is the type of venue that we deserve after a busy week at work, LOL

Thanks again

We thought that we had seen how good a club could get... until last night!! We had the pleasure of catching up with Colin, Gina and the rest of the team that we had known so well at Libs. What they have done is taken the club experience to a whole new level. It is hard to see how even in its unfinished state that any club will be able to better what the VA has to offer. Great staff, amazing facilities and a good mix of patrons. Good luck to you all, we shall be regulars at this club for many years to come....

Went to the opening night with my partner and we still can't stop talking about it! What a wonderful job all have done to what was a pretty grotty pub/hotel to turn it into the most upmarket club in the UK by miles even though all was not complete. Things will only go from strength to strength in the future. Look forward to going again on the 19th. Miss it at your peril!

We returned again this weekend for the second time, and what a difference a week makes. The place was buzzing with over 100 couples, having from what we saw lots and lots of fun. ;o)

Like many others we have seen this venue go from a run down hotel to a classy private members club, and now that the extra large hot tub is in action and finishing touches being made to the first phase of the planned 3 phases, things will only get better at this club.

We highly recommend this club, it will be the one that all others will talk about, it is clean, classy, smart and so well run by a great team, who make sure every body is looked after, this club it is only going to get bigger and better.

We went to the opening night and WOW what a great place this is, we had a lovely night. The staff are fantastic and gave everyone a warm welcome. We will definitely become regulars of VA, the play rooms whether large open areas or private are all sumptuously and tastefully decorated.

Went to Sunday Sirenz yesterday afternoon - relaxed and fun environment. Could have been busier - but hey, it was the first one, we weren't expecting it to be rammed!

The club has got the basics - very clean, lots of play areas, (huge)hot tub, well run, and its got some of the the special touches already too - lovely fabrics & colour scheme, proper dance floor, etc. BUT - when the refurb is finished, the club will be incredible!! Definitely a great club venue & perfect for the relaxed fun that the Sunday bi-fem crowd love too. Mover & Shaker xx

Simply The Best!!!

I have seen this club grow from a derelict hotel, into a building site with amzing people all working together with one aim...to create the best swingers venue in the UK and they succeeded. I took Candy on the Launch night and was pappin it (as she hosts very select parties of her own) but I needn't have worried. TVA is outstanding, sumptuously decorated, perfectly situated and loads of parking, hotel rooms available (book early though),Great dancefloor and DJ's, lovely play areas, and huuuuge spa-pool. Most of all, the fantastic people that run it. Not only are they now great friends, but extremely professional and welcoming. They know what a good club should be like then went one better. This will be my regular club, one that I am very lucky to have so close. Well done to everyone involved, including the lovely guests.

Saw the building site and tears at midday saturday !!! Wot a transformation by opening time. The team worked miracles to create a club from a run down hotel inside 22 days. A work in progress to rival the best on offer! The guys deserve every success that will undoubtedly come their way.

Attended the club opening night and was greeted with the usual warm friendliness that we know you can always expect from Gina, Colin and the staff. Although the club is currently a work in progress, it is obvious already that this club will be the one to set standards by.

We went to the Grand Opening last night, we were greeted by the lovely staff who were friendly, professional and nothing seemed to much trouble. We had a tour of the Venue and were made to feel welcome, and at home straight away. There is still some work to be done and we knew that from the off. What has been done has been finished off to a high standard. Fully Licenced bar, with very reasonable prices. This place will be a huge hit..we will certainly be going back, time after time..Thanks all...Rx & S

We went last night to the grand opening of the club. Fantastic venue, great location and the team at the club made the night a total success, this is going to be the club by which every body else will set there standards.

We highly recommend you pay the club a visit, they also have rooms on site should you wish to stay the night, but these need to be booked in advance.
