Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

He's back in touch then?

I like it there. The areas are very distinct from each other and the club is very welcoming.

If, however, you want private lockable rooms this is not the club to visit. The play areas are open plan, there are some nooks and crannies and a bed with a concealing curtain.

"Is there a sauna at VA? "

No. There's a very large sunken hot tub but no sauna.

The front half is a bar and lounge area - much like a nice country pub with a fireplace. The other half is split into a wet play room and dry play room with nooks and crannies around both.

Although if you're as short as I am then it's more of a swimming pool.

Highly recommended. The club is well laid out making it easy to move from bar to lounge to play area. The staff are lovely and the hot tub is a great way of meeting new people. There is also a hotel on site with clean, ensuite rooms and comfortable beds. See you there!

We love it there but agree the only thing missing is lockable rooms! We usually stay at the hotel so if we want a bit more privacy we use the room.

Our 1st experience was at V.A and have found it difficult to be tempted away xx

There isn't a lockable room unless you are staying at the hotel, which is separate to the club area (just upstairs).

The curtained bed is as private as it gets.

It's a very well run, welcoming club. I have never felt pressure or hassle there. I've never felt nervous there.

Others I have been to have a vibe that has made me nervous.

we did look at Paradise in Bournemouth, its nearer me but he wasnt keen. This would be our first time, I would be more nervous than him.

Mind if I ask you some questions please rather than the club owners?

As all club visitors know, every club is different and visitors will have their likes and dislikes. The Vanilla Alternative happens to tick all the boxes for me which is why I'm there every Friday.

From the great socialising area of the bar and lounge to the amazing massive hot tub and surrounding play areas, this upmarket venue attracts some amazing visitors spanning the age range.

Club owners Scott and Jules, together with the rest of the staff team, do everything they can to enhance the visitor experience.

Whilst VA's may not be to everyone's liking, I think it's somewhere all swingers should experience at least once and then make up their own mind.

As I've said in the previous post, I'm at VA's every Friday and the feedback I've received from most couples is that the single guys (maximum 10) have been very respectful and not caused any problems. Obviously there have been exceptions but there are lots of couples and single ladies who come back on a regular basis to enjoy the VA experience.

Hopefully, if we go, the single men will respect our wish not to play with men. We would hate it to sour our first visit

Although there are no lockable rooms, there is a dedicated couples only play area adjacent to the dance floor.

We really liked the club itself, clean and well presented the hot tub is wonderful. We also made use of the hotel which was great!

The only thing we found (don't know if it was because it was a quiet night) but most people that were there were already meeting other couples or had come with other couples so weren't looking for new couples so we ended up playing alone, overall we gave the whole experience an 8/10 would defo recommend to a friend xx

They are not allowed in the couples room unless invited.
