| We went to VA for the 2nd time in as many weeks and once again had a fantastic evening. Suffering from the usual bout of nerves we found all the staff again to be friendly, welcoming and a lot of fun. Jules had us giggling for ages! Can't wait for our next visit xx |

| I went to the VA as a single man and had a great time! Even though it was a slow night, I still got to meet with a great couple and "recharge" in the hot tub. I hope to take my gf there net time and have a REALLY good time! |

| Went for a first visit on Saturday 6th...and loved it. Fantastic crowd, loved the decor and atmosphere of the club. Had a boogie on the dancefloor, few drinks then hit the jacuzzi and met some great people...A highly recommended club which by the sounds of it is getting more popular each week. Well done guys, hats (and clothes) off to you ! Angie XXX |

| We decided to make a visit, as was close to the area.
We're glad we made the effort to get there - such a shame it's so far from us (3-4 hrs by car). The place is really nice, in fact a lovely venue, keeping the character from the venues previous life.
Being younger than most there, we didn't meet anyone for fun (however everyone we did meet or chat to was very friendly), but that doesn't matter when the place is so nice you can enjoy it together.
Look forward to our next visit.. although unfortunately it might be a while :( |

| Had another great night at VA on Saturday (30th), was our 5th time and still loving it.
The club is so right, relaxed, sheik and very sexy. It's always clean, well laid out with lots of beds and little play areas. The Jacuzzi is always warm and inviting and a great ice breaker.
Joules, Scott, Michelle n Colin are such a giggle and Audrey and Dax are always friendly and up for a chat.
Always looking to improve the club and are happy to listen to the suggestions from the guests.
We had a fantastic night which was topped off with a birthday cake for Mr E (39, poor bugger!!) and a group of about 14 of us (all so so lovely) sitting in the bar after a busy night unwinding and reminiscing.
Not much else to say, great club, great people, love it.....

| We spoke to the owners by email that we were contemplating attending the 70s/80s theme night, as this was going to be our “first time”. The emails helped us feel comfortable enough that we still wanted to attended, so we took the plunge and set of the following Saturday. When we did get there any nerves or concerns we had disappeared as soon as we were met by Adam Ant and Buster Blood Vessel in the car park!
The owners gave us a guided tour, and even then we didn’t feel like we were being paraded around like “newbie’s”, but actually felt like we were valued guests.
The club was amazing. Stunning decor, a decent bar with fair prices, great play rooms, and a stunning hot tub, to which we spent a fair amount of time. There was no clique feel to the place, with most couples talkative, and more importantly, enjoying themselves.
This was a couple’s only night, and for us that removed any pre conceived pressure we had placed upon ourselves about dealing with unwanted advances. To be fair, the way the club is run, I doubt even on single men nights there would be any hassle.
We loved the night, and have already planned a return trip soon.

| Went to this club on a whim last night and had a thoroughly enjoyable time!
The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, and we were made to feel welcome the moment we arrived!
Would strongly recommend this club to other people, and we enjoyed it so much we're going again next weekend! |

| Bearing in mind we went to the club unprepared and on a whim we had a great time. The venue was clean and very smart. The staff were very welcoming and pus us first timers at ease. We decided just to watch mainly but did have a play a few times with each other which the single guys and couples clearly respected. If we felt more adventrous we felt the single males and couples were easy to approach. Will go again and maybe try a saturday night as was informed they are busier. |

| We just love The VA. By far our favourite place. We usually stay in the hotel (room 10 being our fave- you knoiw who we are now dont you?) as its so clean, tastefully decorated with great facilities.
We first went on a friday, met a couple of guys and got real down and dirty and Mrs D had a real screamer of a night! Our next visit was the 'Wild West' night and boy did we have some fun!
Their hot-tub is the best we've ever used, large, deep and really HOT, the beds are ALL clean, fresh towels etc. Even though the rooms are all open (non lockable) we LOVE it, being watched, watching and getting lots of play invites in the process.
The owners and so friendly and considerate. They will show you around the venue. The bar has normal pub prices so no nasty surprises.
All in all, the best venue in the south by far, great for newbies and experienced alike.

| Had the pleasure of attending this lovely club last night. It was my first ever club night and I could not have found a more friendly and welcoming venue. From the welcome too the good night, staff were on hand at all times. All needs catered for and well thought out little extras. My fellow guests were friendly and fun. I look forward to my next visit xxxxxx |

| We visited this club 2 weeks ago and found it to be a fantastic venue. Although they stated that it was part finished it was as good if not better than other clubs we have visited. Only point i could make it that the toilets could do with regular clean up visits, as getting on through the night they were getting a bit messy (especially walking about in bare feet!). But overall it was a great night, and well worth the admission fee. |

| A group of our party regulars met up here on Sat to visit a "new club" for the first time together.Some of us met early afternoon and found our hotel rooms comfortable but we now know which hotel room to recommend!(It had much the largest floor space and a bath and a tv!lol)The club itself is beautifully laid out and furnished and we cannot praise enough the club staff who were funny, friendly and attentive. Thank you for that. The bar area became very busy very quickly by 9pm and there was a variety of many couples all dressed to impress!but the playing kicked off after the lovely buffet at 10.30pm.when many changed into just towels The two large playrooms were busy. The large hot bath (not enough bubbles to be a jacuzzi) was HOT deep and busy all night! but with the heat of the evening the rooms became very stuffy.The memory foam mattresses on the play bed room were gorgeous!and there were plenty of corners and nooks to go to play. No locked/private playrooms however. (We were amused to note how still we all found the atmosphere , subdued it felt at times, which in turn compelled you to remain quiet also . We all came to the same conclusion independently and were fascinated how the opinions matched. maybe we are usually just a rowdy bunch!! lol.) The bar prices we decided were on the expensive side (not extortionate), club was hot and soft drinks matched alcohol for prices.When we all met up as we checked out next morning we were disappointed not to see any staff around as we really wanted to say thanks for a good evening. More seating needed outside. Changing room felt small when club is busy and locker number system needs spreading out as everyone had lockers in same area of room proving awkward for space. This review is a majority verdict opinion from the 6 couples we went with. We hope its fair and thorough. The management deserve to do well here as they've thought long and hard about creating a very plush and beautiful looking club and are very willing to be offered ideas or opinions which is refreshing. The members enjoyment is priority to them and they should be congratulated..We we're glad we chose to visit The Vanilla Alternative as part of our weekend away. Would we go back? Yes if someone had a party event there. |

| Back again Sat evening, this Club goes from strength to strength, although we all know it's the visitors that make a club (and we met some great new friends again) the staff / owners & their vision are making this one of the best venues around - keep it up!

| We visited VA on Thursday 2nd June. T has been before and really wanted to go back.
We were shown around by Colin, one of the team that runs it, and we were taken aback by the high standards in place. And it still isn't totally finished yet!
Not many people there - well it was a Thursday so we didn't expect it to be heaving, but we had a super time and can't wait for the next trip!
We spent our time mainly in the wet area; loved the jacuzzi although it was a bit too hot for us. The area behind the jacuzzi was great, very interesting indeedy! |

| Yet another mind blowing night at the best venue in the UK by a mile. Every time we go the place just gets better and better. Anyone not been yet you are missing out! Scott and Julie were relentless again last night in ensuring everyone was happy. The perfect hosts. As writing this we are getting ready to go back for round two! |

| We have been to this club on a friday and even thou it was quiet we were very pleased with the club and will be back on a Saturday which we have been told are busy nights. Love the bar and prices are reasonable.
But i must point out a couple of things that could make this venue perfect, there are no lockable play rooms,not everyone is a exhibitionist !!! and as smokers the smoking area is a bit of an after thought and needs more cover and heating, get these right and this club will be the best in the uk.

| Well what can we say, WOW!!! we have been away from the club scene for over a year and well what a way to come back, The welcome was lovelly, the property is done out to such a high standard it was clean and even at 8.30 was busling with people. The jacuzzi was amazingly hot and being swimming pool size meant you can get a lot of sexy people in. Met some lovely new people and hopefully will meet a lot more over the next few months. For a club that has been only going for 3 months and we just turned up it was very busy and we think it do very well. Many thanks to the team xx John & Sheena |

| Having been to, and loving Liberty Elite, which was one of the best clubs we have ever been too. We now visit the VA just because it's closer. It still has all the attributes of LE as Gina, Colin and the staff make it a fantastic night. Plenty of space, loads of beds, big jacuzzi, nice dance floor and pole available. Lovely accommodation too.
The food is absolutely fantastic, home made, not bought in. We went at Easter and the 'chocolate buffet' was exquisite! We are attending the Toga party in the May bank holiday, can't wait.... ;-) |

| WoW and WoW again, we were supposed to go on friday and stay in the hotel but had such a brilliant time that we stayed until sunday!
Huge thanks to all of the management, all so welcoming from the moment we first stepped in (great tour of hotel and club), to the moment we asked if we could extend our stay ... and to the moment we asked if we could use the pole for a fetish session.
Cannot ask more from a club, vets well, focuses on quality, and socialises with guests ...
Cant wait to see this club grow into the venue its owners have desires for, it will undoubtedly be one of the highest quality swingers clubs and we will be back to watch it grow.

| Do believe the hype because its all true.
Anyone who knows my reviews, will know I don't give out credit unless its due and its certainly due here.
Been to the venue twice now, and its good to see it being well run on both ocasions and was nice to see Gina back at the venue too. The age range can vary here quite considerably, it was much younger on our first visit, and more mature on the next, all we can say is this is much the same as most venues and you need to attend somewhere regulary to get a good feel for its best potential.
There is obviously still work to do and the venue is in its infancy, but the standards are already extremely high.
Be good to see them do some foam parties to get the dancefloor into better use, and some music themed and guest DJ nights would be great too, as the design and layout of the club is such that those who wanted to enjoy the music could do so quite separately from the play areas of the club.
That said, I am sure this will all come in good time, look foward to many visits in future. |
