"Lol this could backfire. If I mention we are going and the place is packed with lots of very eager gentlemen. She may suspect.....lol" Isn't it always busy with single gents (apart from couples nights)? | |||

"This place seems to have a lot of fans and is popular. I went once with my gf, and found the place rather dark and claustrophobic, too many floors, not enough play rooms or big enough either. Left rather dissapointed and didnt see what the fuss was all about" You need to remember that it's a spa, with a few play rooms. Not a club with a spa. It's our favourite place to go, can't wait for this bloody virus to go away so we can go back. | |||

"... We just wish it was easier to park (restricted to 4 hours during chargeable time) and open earlier (and later). Midday opening means always it is a bit of a rush back for childcare. " At the end of the road, 150m away, you can park all day. It's only the bays outside that are limited to 4 hours. | |||

I think it just took my friend and I by surprise because we have heard very positive things about Bristol Gardens and it was during our first visit as well. The issue was this rude and overfamiliar couple who already looked suspicious when we walked in (the woman commented loudly that more women came in - meaning us and the man stood extremely close to me while giving back his towel), we avoided them in the spa but when we were inside one the rooms upstairs they have started loudly asking what the noises were and a few other people joined them in commenting loudly and knocking on our door (!). My friend opened it and reprimanded them in such a manner that they dispersed quickly and did not come back. We only spoke to a staff member later because we did not want to interupt our play even further. There was also a minor nuisance when my friend had to ask a guy to move back when he creepily moved closer to me in the hot tub and I didn't notice because I was having a conversation with someone else there. The staff is great though. We gave the benefit of a doubt and returned to Bristol Gardens again and had a wonderful time. | |||

Why was this a problem if you didn't even notice ?" I would have noticed once I would have finished my conversation and looked to the side - I don't appreciate being creeped out by a strange man sitting too close to me when I am naked! Or otherwise I would have noticed if he was moving closer to touch me underwater without my consent - I sure am glad I didn't find out what the hell this creep was after | |||

"A couple of rooms had an "underpass" into the next room when I knew it. Wonder if that's the case? Wonder how many irate couples found out about them the wrong way???" If it's the two (small) rooms next to them, I think that's been blocked up now, although you can easily hear what's going on. | |||

"It's a shame its closed at present. What I haven't seen mentioned is the reason it's so popular is it's the only place for miles on the south coast. Ok so you have Kent and Bournemouth but for Brighton that's it. When I'm in the uk I try and go at least once during my trip, normally a saturday or sunday afternoon. Hopefully Angie will get the chance to reopen after lockdown." They were planning on reopening in Dec before the second lockdown changed plans. So hopefully it won't be too much longer. | |||

"What is it like compared to Rios in Kentish Town?"

They try to ensure that everyone going understands that it's not a sex club, it's a spa with rooms they are happy for us to use. It saves anyone going on doing something in the spa which means that they get banned.... | |||

I remember the first time I ever commented in the forum about BGHS (a couple of years ago) I received a PM from a couple I'd never interacted with before warning me I'd get banned from the venue. For a couple of seconds I thought "oh oh" and then realised "yeah right". | |||

You've managed to be sad, creepy and cringeworthy all in one go Well done * slow hand clap *" Why is he "sad, cringe worthy and creepy?? I'm sure there are a few women on here that would like someone to go to these places with.. It can be quite daunting for a woman to go to these places | |||

"It's easy to get to know someone on here via chat messages first before you go to the sauna together and to be honest single women are hit upon by the zombies wandering around a lot. So I think if a woman wants to go with this guy for her first experience after they've chatted a bit I'm sure he would not be a stranger. Apart from that, going with someone who knows the place when you dont is always easier, and in fairness once there if the guy does turn out to be creepy then it's easier as you're already there and can chat to others.. etc.. Just MHO.." They pride themselves on women being comfortable with visiting on their own. There's no need for anyone to hold their hands. If the zombies give them any trouble all they have to do is inform a member of staff. | |||

"We got banned from bghs unfortunately for discussion the spa on here , the owner understandably likes to keep the pkaying side of things low profile..... That's strange as they are quite open on their website etc that there are playrooms in the venue. I would have thought any business owner would be happy for their facilities to be discussed and exposed to potential new customers No that's not the case ...... How did they even know it was you?" I can only assume eitger the owner is on here or there is a sneaky person on here that keep an eye on things here? | |||

"We got banned from bghs unfortunately for discussion the spa on here , the owner understandably likes to keep the pkaying side of things low profile..... I find that hard to believe. They try to ensure that everyone going understands that it's not a sex club, it's a spa with rooms they are happy for us to use. It saves anyone going on doing something in the spa which means that they get banned...." Not sure why you having difficulty understanding but that's what happened ... | |||

"We live relatively close but have never been. What puts us off is the whole “is it a naturist spa or is it a swingers club” thing. Personally we would prefer it to be one or the other but that is clearly just our opinion and from this thread it is clear many people like it just the way it is. Again just our opinion - we know when we visit somewhere like Le Boudoir or Xtasia why we are there. We hope to find sexy nice people to have naughty fun with. We go to vanilla spas to relax without the “worry” people are oggling or going to approach and we will have to turn them down as just chilling. This middle ground is odd TO US." Let's face it , it's a very odd place. Claims to be naturist. Has play rooms Has an aggressive owner who shouts abuse at swingers. An odd combo | |||

" The owner is the most unfriendly person I have met as a swinger i was disgusted by her attitude. She is almost schizophrenic as her attitude can suddenly flip. Be warned | |||

It appears that people who do go to BGHS, won't have the chance to enjoy more of your wit and charm. No doubt the father in question will be delighted to hear your thoughts on his daughter. | |||

Appreciate we all have our experiences and opinions, but I think it's wrong to advise anyone to avoid anywhere unless downright dangerous or threatening. Better in my view if people experience places for themselves but go with both eyes open and forewarned as to how it could possibly be. Personally, I don't recognise the 'review' above in my experience as all the staff and management have been great whenever I've been and the staff don't go into the relaxation room area (unless an emergency, of course). I've been many times on several different days of the week for over two years. Maybe it was different before. As many have said, follow the (quite reasonable and clearly stated) rules and you should be fine. | |||

There's no pressure for anyone to go so don't feel that people need to be warned off. It's hilarious reading the fake reviews warning that the owners ban people for posting on here ( how exactly they associated usernames with customers no one has explained). Or claiming to know the old owner, when he's a regular user so is quite aware of how it's being run. Calm down everyone. It's nice and clear what the rules are and so on. If it sounds like something you'll enjoy then great. If you only want a sex club then go to a sex club. If you only want a spa then pick one. There's plenty of choices for everyone | |||

"Another innocent and interesting post that has been hijacked by childish bickering. For anyone that has been to BGHS the set - up is absolutely obvious. - A very upmarket spa/sauna/steam in the basement - not unlike a good quality Turkish Bath. This is managed like a posh leisure club, with none of the sleaze and poor hygiene of comparable places in the UK. -The ground floor has the plush and very comfortable cafe area; again this is run very professionally. - Finally the top floor has the playrooms. V clean, elegantly designed and often very active and erotic. Lots of swapping takes place with no intereferrnce by the staff, so long as it takes place in the appropriate part of the building. The staff are scrupulous in maintaining the correct behaviour in each of the respective areas, and if you cooperate with the rules then this is a wonderful place to spend the day. There is a Spa in N London called Rios, which is the complete opposite, a filthy and sordid dump...and a perfect example of a facility without any class or any standards. BGHS is a different class." Well said. We've been going for about 10 years and love it. The owners are rightly and necessarily strict - they're lovely to chat to but won't have anyone risk their licence or damage their reputation. The staff are friendly and observant and keep the place immaculately clean, safe and very pleasant. | |||

"Hopefully will get a booking for Saturday evening. First time for us both. Any tips for first timers?? " Go with an open mind knowing that it’s NOT a swingers club. Enjoy the spa facilities whilst abiding by the rules, this also means no playing between yourselves as a couple in the spa area. Take some time out in the cafe area, relax upstairs in the lounge. Enjoy chatting to people socially. If you feel like it, pop to the private areas for some fun. The mirror room is our favourite. | |||

"This sounds like a place worth a visit. It's nice to read about club owners following their own rules and being meticulous about cleanliness and hygiene. I read on their website that alcohol is prohibited, is that completely banned on premises or is it a "bring your own" thing? Do they sell soft drinks inside (Pepsi etc)?" No alcohol allowed at all. It’s a spa, not a sex club. Soft drinks and some food are available to buy. | |||

"Absolute nightmare , it's not a club just a spa and very unfriendly unfortunately x " We've been 3/4 times when visiting the south coast and found the owner quite friendly and engaging, the only issue was a worker who was a little over zealous in testing the plunge pool water every 5 minutes! | |||

"We always had a really good time there. We've obeyed the rules and had no trouble what so ever. Owner seems nice... We've only ever had polite conversations with her. It is her place and her rules. We should respect that. " You’ve hit the nail on the head here, some people don’t like the rules and think they can do what they like, then they fall out with the manager. | |||

"I dont get the attraction of this place. If you are after a spa, there are many far better ones If you are looking for a sex/swinger club, again, many far better ones. Hugely overated place in my opinion." Ah but what if you want a nice spa with the option to play if you want to? It ticks the boxes for this - its not perfect by any means as a venue but its pretty good If you don't get its appeal - well as many things in life- its not for everyone. | |||

"I went yesterday I would advise booking before hand as it was fairly busy and they was only letting in the pre booked people you have to wear a mask if ur walking about up stairs in the lounge and cafe area and to the upper deck u are allowed to walk around down stairs in the spa without masks as u do tend to lose breath when getting out hot tubs etc and putting the mask on don’t help I played late last night and the rule is still the same as before staff don’t enter rest area but if ur a regular u no the rules about loitering in the entrance aslong as the staff can’t see your grand I for one am just happy bghs is back in motion I think it will be busy and they will be strict on the rules in social distancing etc but I think give it a few weeks and they will start to relax a bit more the staff that is as sam and ange don’t want to get shut down but as they Don’t like it to be branded as a swingers spa you have to be on ur toes and just be smart about it and keep everything behind closed doors up stairs or underwater haha when the hot tub fires up and there are restrictions on who can go where it’s 4 to a hot tub and that’s 4 people or 2 bubbles the little hot tub is 1 person or 1 bubble the sauna is the same 4 people or 2 bubble and the steam hope this covers it all " Thank you , that’s most helpful....X | |||
