Firstly we love this place it's relaxed and fun with little pressure from guys trying to play.

BUT this price increase is just pure greed! The line we were told was its to limit how many people come as they have been getting to many people on certain days. This may be true but it's not fair on your loyal customers, what are we getting for the extra £10? If there was food laid out for guests or even complimentary sun cream or condoms then it would soften the blow.

Also not fair is the need to have a separate membership for kestrels and Abfab, it costs enough for one without the need of both. So again make it one card does all and allow your regulars some loyalty or even a loyalty card system.

Apart from that its a great venue.

Really love this place but, today all people were discussing was the price increase. £50 for a single guy on a day pass(which are ending soon) add in travel etc. it starts to become an expensive day out. So I have forked out £70 on membership and entry but rather than 2 visits a week I think it may be 1 or even once a fortnight. I will still go but have real concerns for the future. I have rated fun with reservations.

I've been to the club a number of times and its a wonderful oasis for for chilling and relaxing with like-minded people. I don't mind paying the higher rate as a single guy but it wont be much fun if us single guys start to out number everyone else. I suppose its like most things in life you wont realise how good it was until its gone! Price rises are inevitable but should be proportionate. Don

Just wanting to echo the debate about the price. The mood in the club was really affected on Wednesday. The couples were frankly curious and it is the nice couples that make the club tick. There was open discussion about a boycot. £50 for a guy is steep but self regulates. This will raise the quality of the guys I propose but the club must have couples in it to make the guys come back. The club can be frankly freezing or baron on an unlucky day and not worth the even the old fee. I think the possibility of baron days has been increased. Price increase sure it's a business but this seems to have made many now attend the club less.

After reading all the reviews about the price going up, all the wednesdays that we planned in the sun at kestrels this year have been cancelled.

Putting "AVOID" as that's what we will be doing.

We have been members since 2005!!!

We attended the recent bbq day at the club and had a wonderful time using the pool and hot tubs then relaxing in the garden area with all new sunbirds and hammocks The. dungeon area was fun and lots to keep you entertained . It was good to have free tea coffee available The overall standard of the club is spotless. Having been a loyal member of the club as a couple after using all the facilities we can justify the recent price increase as you only have to look at all the improvements and the continual high standard of cleanliness and the helpfulness of the staff to appreciate what a good club we are lucky to have in our area. There are cheaper clubs around but they do not have the same facilities and cleanlines.

Love the club, love the staff. Based on the extortionate 2 year rise is fees we will be halving the number of visits this year. A great shame because when I travel and stay with a certain hotel group I get rewarded for being a loyal customer who has sang the clubs praises to new people on fab looking for a good reputable venue. You have just tipped the balance on what was a fair price.

The e-mail from Abfabs/Kestrels advised that due to club being close to capacity on a Wednesday they would not be issuing day passes and making it members only and for that privilege they were increasing the entrance fee on a Wednesday to £35.00 per couple …… an extra £10.00 (the price for couples had not long been increased from £20.00)

Oh and if by any chance they have a BBQ an extra £5.00 per person is charged whether you choose to eat or not (as many regulars know, we do like our lunches lol) wouldn’t it be fairer to charge £5.00 if you want to eat? Easy enough to supply a ticket that you hand in at the BBQ surely?

OK we are going slight off at a tangent …. Will we be visiting as often? Probably not - think this price increase will do a lot of damage to the amount of couples who attend regularly, especially on a Wednesday.

This may be the downfall of what is a very good club with great facilities and staff

Ouch that stings a lot !!!!

Fantastic club with great facilities which we have been going to for years now especially on Weds.

The £5 increase last year from £20 to £25 was fine bearing in mind all the good work that been done but now another £10 on top of that??

By my calculation's that's a 75% increase in less than 2 years. Are you really trying to drive away all your regular Wednesday visitors?

A rating for dissapointed would have been more appropriate. Can i just say that the staff are great, they really are. We felt for them yesterday. you have lovely staff at the front of house who have built up a rapor with your loyal guests over the years. In our opinon they looked embarrased to inform people of the crazy price increase and then soak up all the awkward facial expressions and choice words, then expect them to smile about it!!

come on !! On top of that the pool was cold and did notice that the heating in the dungeon was turned off far too early. This is a great club with guests who want to keep attending so how can you have a good attendance day in and day out? put the prices up ay! In the words of Dr Phil HOWS THAT WORKING FOR YA??

One more thing, can i suggest that the odd time you have a bbq it would be nice if this was free as a thankyou to your members and to the newbies which become regular and loyal to your club. Its only a burger for crying out loud! but would go a long way, instead of slapping us with a wet fish each time as sometimes these increases sting a bit too much. We love this club, but your school report will read

COULD DO BETTER!!!

We were guests last wet windy Sunday and had a fab chilled time. The crystal clear indoor hot tub was a favourite as was the outdoor one. Saw the new hammocks and will be swinging in them next visit no doubt - plenty of new people to chat to and looking forward to the June BBQ

right where do I start well first of all like say thank you to great staff and this is a great club to which we have supported along time now BUT with the price increase up again this week 25 to 35 a couple. I now feel you are over pricing when times are still so hard for peeps with travel costs and for some hotel bills just to visit you.GUYS please re think this it is GREED and not the way forward, just look at the crowds (you are NOT pulling in) on a day to day basis this could be so much more if costing where relistic

let me start off by saying thank you to the staff who told me there was a problem with boiler and the pool wasn't hot, she knew us so well and we would not be happy and as such saved us a lot of money. the staff are great.

unfortunately we hadn't read the email saying the prices were going up.

so tonight we arrived to find it had gone up from £25 to £35. having supported the club through the winter times we may have just "had enough".

there is no justification to raise the price from £25 to £35. in principle it is only £10, but in real terms that is a 40% increase. sorry but it seems like making hay while the sun shines....literally.

we love this place, the facilities are great, the staff are great.

probably we'll be one of the few that make a moral stand (ironic term lol) against this increase. it seems that it wasn't that long ago that it went from £20 to £25.

don't let this put you off going if it is your first visit and you have the £35. this is our complaint but as those who know us appreciate my Northern charms. (when it is good i say it's good and tell everyone. when i feel its bad i do the same. )

take care

Attended as newbies with a view that if we felt uncomfortable we could always leave and ended up staying 7 hours which probably gives an idea of how much fun we had : ) We weren't sure what to expect as the website looks a bit like a few sun loungers in someone's back garden but it is a lot nicer when there and an awful lot more than you can see on the site. Started with a relaxed friendly tour of the club and met a lot of really nice non pushy people during the day. There was no pressure to do anything except enjoy the sun and use the facilities however once we relaxed, it was too tempting not to join in! We are both glad that we tried here before anywhere else and are looking to go back soon.

Well what can I say about this place that no-one else has already said?

I have been here 4 times now and every time I leave so relaxed and chilled out!

Had a little session in the hanging cage as the male of the couple was nervous about getting in there! I do hope I meet them again but maybe on a HDZ night? lol

Last week I was there for the afternoon right through until the evening - what a blast !

As ever it's the people who make the place - and i was blessed with some excellent company

If you do get the opportunity to try a sunny afternoon it is simply superb - and if you can manage to see the amazing morph from naturist to swing then stay for the party

The staff - ultra friendly and helpful in setting the vibe

The facilities - everything you could hope for and more

And yes some great company - Jade was divine, Nick and Rick excellent compadres for the duration

And some of the ladies were simply stunnnig - evening wear gets stripped off and away we go

Cinema - always busy - pool and jacuzzi first class

Only drawback - I live a plane ride away

If we met - say hi :- ))

I have been twice now and both times left with a big smile! The venue is fantastic for anyone's needs, wether its a private room, or voyeur or playing in the open for others to be invited or not.

The staff are really helpful, I hope to be going again soon.

Went to Kestral's for the first time on Wednesday and had a fantastic relaxing day.

Everyone was so friendly, staff were brill and the facilities were great. The hot tub was certainly very hot and the pool was just perfect to cool you down a bit after.

We can't to make this a regular treat :)

Just need to persuade the boss to give us more holiday at work so we can come more often!!
