| 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. |

| Was in this place Friday 6th the team there on the night Michelle, Scott, Julie, Daks and the doorman sorry i didint catch your name, all great host really genuinely friendly, they have made an superb effort to make this a place worth every penny you spend there. As for the people there was a decent balance of couples and singles and loads of clean space from closed off areas to open areas the ambience they have created for their guest is second to none. I thoroughly recommend a visit they have rooms for stop over but book in advance, there is no membership as they build up a clientel until September so what better place to spend the summer will sure be having some return visits this summer and beyond well done guys this is how a well run establishment should be. Oh a special hello to Audrey wow the live in barmaid / hostess with the mostess xx Thanks for a super evening looking forward to returning with friends in the near future keep up the great job your doing. |

| Paid another visit to VA last night (took some friends for their first time)this being our 4th time.
This is such a great place, each time we visit the Staff show the same enthusiasm and an eagerness to make you feel welcome as they did on their opening night. As many have already mentioned this is not a run of the mill swingers club, but a very up market venue...Brilliant

| We visited the club for the first time on 16th April and we had a great evening.
The club was easy to find and the staff and owners were very friendly. We were firstly taken on a tour of the club...there is a disco area, bar area (licensed), lounge area and two large playrooms. The decor is fresh and everywhere is very clean.
During the evening the staff were very attentive, checking the heating and asking if we were comfortable.
We will definitely be returning to the club ...hopefully very soon. |

| What a great evening - I went along with two lovely female friends and had a wonderful time. The staff were and are really warm and friendly (Gina thank you for your great humor) and the guided tour was well done and respectful that people were also playing in some areas.
Lots of nice big beds, jacuzzi with beds to one side, showers, clean and fresh toilets and nice towels. Good bar and though I was the driver for the night a really good non-alcoholic beverage was produced - thank you for that - nibbles and chat in a comfortable seating area and playtime was great too. Didn't use the jacuzzi but will plan on that next visit.
All in all a really good place to visit and I think the friendly welcome and the fact that all the club is on one level make it a perfect place to visit and I shall again.
Thank you - 5 stars from the Dr :-) |

| Our first but definitely not our last visit to this club. We went Good Friday and totally enjoyed ourselves. Loved the hot tub and we were soon in there after a couple of drinks at the bar and chatting to a few friendly club regulars. Their are plenty of bedding areas and we were soon making good use of these amongst others playing around us making it a great and horny atmosphere. Liked that people were playing early doors and though out the night. We had a breather with another drink and delicious nibbles that the club provided then back to enjoy the facilities and hot tub once again. We are still buzzing and therefore highly recommend the Vanilla Alternative. We will post when we next visit, come join us and the fun!

| I've been to a few clubs and all I can say is WOW !!
This venue oozes class from the moment you step through the door. Lovely hosts, lovely members and a lovely venue and even a decent buffet, what more could one ask for?
This is now my first club of choice and although it was quiet for a Friday night there was lots of fun to be had.
This is a club which now, at long last, puts the UK on the map as far as swinging clubs go.

| Was seriously impressed by this place from the moment we were greeted at the door. Had a tour from Gina who was happy to answer any questions we had and then enjoyed a drink at the bar whilst we waited for our friends to arrive. The bar and lounge areas would not be out of place in any quality pub.
After our friends arrived we ventured to the dancefloor (well, the ladies did) which again felt like a mini version of a proper club with a great sound and light system. There were a few people dancing at one point but at times was empty.
Currently there are two main play areas. A room mainly furnished with individual beds which suit either couples who wish to play alone or those that have arranged to play together, whereas in the room with the hot tub there are several beds arranged together which we assume if probably more of a free for all.
On the Saturday evening we attended there was a reasonable number of people there and a very chilled but exciting vibe. Once we got the playing kicked off in the first of the rooms I mentioned all the beds quickly filled up with non-stop fun until we left the room 2 or 3 hours later.
We highly recommend the Vanilla Alternative and will be back soon. |

| Interesting avoid opinion,its a NEW club and will take time to get the single ladies and couples that want single men on a Friday night. Friday nights will take time. Not everyone wants single men attention and especially those that expect it to be busy immediately. I attended last night and was greeted by a lovely gentleman smartly dressed for a tour. As a single female I felt extreemly comfy and cared for by the staff. It has exceptional standards,maticulously clean,great music and a lovely buffet. I look forward to my next visit and hope to visit as often as I can.Thankyou so much for a quality club from the second you walk in. You put alot of clubs in the shade with this one. Will certainly reccomend it highly. |

| Agree that all clubs can have their quite times but this place has been hyped out of all proportion and it isn't even finished yet.There are plenty of good clubs around and it will take a lot more time and money before this one can rightly call itself exclusive....in our opinion! |

| We visited this club last Friday also and like the previous report found it to be very quite. Very dissappointed after all the hype of how busy & exclusive it was supposed to be. There is obviously still a lot of work to be done and perhaps they should have waited a bit longer before opening? |

| Visited for the first time last Friday and will definitely be back for more. The club is luxurious and seriously impressive. We stayed over and our room was perfect.
The staff are welcoming, super friendly and oh rather sexy too!!
Everything is just in a different class to all the other clubs I have been to. This is the executive choice of clubs and deserves to be a massive success. Cannot wait for my return trip. |

| We attended for the first time on Saturday night and were instantly blown away by the size of the club. Not only that, also how tastefully decorated the club was - and the jacuzzi is definitely the biggest we've ever seen.
We will definitely be frequenting VA on a regular basis

| Second time there and not the last, in fact now THE club of choice. Even though the last time we went was the opening night we were remembered and welcomed like friends. This attitude sums the attention to detail up from everyone there. I always think of this as the only club that you could comfortably recommend to someone to visit from overseas and not be embarrassed. If you haven't been you must try it - soon. |

| We visited the VA last night and it was our first ever club experience. The building is magnificent, although somewhat changed since last time I went there in the early 80's! There was less sex going on, for a start...
The entire experience was one of "The customer comes first". From the guys on the door, the receptionist, the lovely lass who showed us round, the polite and considerate bar staff, even the guy who was checking the water quality in the jacuzzi! There was even a buffet (food and sex? Brilliant!).
The clientèle were friendly and relaxed, with no apparent snobbishness or elitism. One lovely lady even brought us some drinks whilst we were in the jacuzzi - thank you and if you read this please send us a PM and we'll meet you there and return the round.
In all? We can't wait to go back - is there any better recommendation? |

| 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.

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!

| 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
