Post closure of kestrel I have been lurking in the forums to find the next best place to have fun on off days. Still miss my dark room and glory hole and the wonderful couples who had insatiable appetite for my tools

There was a big buzz to move to Eurekas but it is a bit distant which I don’t mind travelling to but some reviews here state that it is not what it used to be and the attendance seems to be way low mid week.

I have another two days off next week on the 3 Oct and see Eureka have a naked party but if the attendance ain’t good what’s the point. Also I wanted to stay over to enjoy the day time shenanigans , but again low attendance club is not going to help.

Any ideas where would be best to enjoy two days of break , with sauna/jacuzzi/cinema kind of club with stay some where close by. Don’t mind travelling between Birmingham and Brighton.

Also if you like join me more than welcome

If you’re happy to head as far north as Birmingham then Chams in Darlaston might be the place you’re looking for. As well as being a great club, they also have hotel rooms too. They do sometimes have a waiting list for single male membership so you would need to call them and ask (hotel rooms have to be booked by phone too)

Thanks for the tip. Chams is not a bad idea, I believe the Angels cinema is also close by , which I have been wanting to explore.

Just gonna hold for a day or two and see if any other recommendations come up.

Check our website out at Jaydees we are near St. Neots on the Beds/Cambs border.

We are open every other Sunday and every other Friday morning. well worth checking out. Times could be changed on Friday's if needed and proved to be more successful.???

If Sundays prove successful it will be every Sunday from 3pm to 10pm (times to be changed if needed)

We would be interested in hearing any other times or parties for Friday's and Sunday's ???

Just in case you're not aware, the pool will be closed until next May. Might not make any difference to you, but thought you should know just in case.

Thanks for the tip. I thought as much as I am few days late to join the summer fun. For me it’s more of exploring the place and mingle with like minded people. Just hope I get treated with respect being a single male.

Already put myself down for a cabin to stay over night as well .

Hope you enjoy. Absolutely not trying to put you off at all, but note there might not be many there during the day (during the week). I was there a couple of Saturdays ago on a sunny but only mild day and even then there were very few people there.

Theres not much difference apart from the amount of rooms,the amount of indoor space, the Jacuzzis,the pool,the free tea/coffee, the lack of porn, the glory holes,the outside space,the woods,the places to engage in conversation,the sauna size,the steam room.

I could go on but to be honest there is no true comparisons between the two clubs eurekas is a totally different club to what kestrels was or even abfabs. Many people love eurekas but for a single bloke the difference is vast.

I hope you have a great time there and i hope you update on this thread.

Btw i used to be a regular at both clubs and my comments here are not negative, go and enjoy.

I miss it to, Kestrels on a hot sunny day full of lovely people it couldn't be beaten I'm afraid , Eurekas has been mentioned but has its draw backs , the place that comes a little bit close to Kestrels is Bristol Garden unfortunately is quite a distance.

Yes that word was used in a much earlier thread not long after Kestrels closed. I remember thinking what a good description it was.

For me, nothing matches it but I have enjoyed myself at other places in the last few months. In fact it has sort of encouraged me to explore more than I probably would have.

Honestly curvy, many places are just as welcoming for single women.

Don’t know if you’re aware of the very strict rules at Bristol Gardens? No touching - no kissing, not even for married couples. The only contact allowed is upstairs So if you’re going for purely spa then you’ll be okay. Anything else just be aware. It’s a fantastic place though

It’s a great spa and you can do what ever you want, with whoever you want in the rest room area. The rules can be strict in the spa area but that doesn’t prevent socialising, however it dors mean the single men are very well behaved.

Completely agree. In the 8 years I was going there, until it closed, I refused to go anywhere else - you really couldn't compare it to any other club, anywhere. I always felt so liberated when I was there. People, including the staff, were friendly, and you didn't get many idiots there either.

Yes, I wish I'd 'discovered' the place earlier than around 18 months before it closed. Still at least I had it for that.
