This is a sumptuous swingers club and hotel in Bedfordshire on the A1 not far from the Capital. The VA aim is to provide something exclusive, somewhere upmarket, somewhere that's a "bit of alright" for discerning adults to meet and play together! The very experienced VA management team have an insight into what is growing into a more open market and have worked very hard to find something that ticks all the boxes. From the private rural location, the licensed bar, the array of play areas, the enormous hot tub, the on site hotel rooms, the extensive dedicated car park right down to the warm smile, the personal care and attention you get from a team who know the lifestyle inside out! No membership fees till September 2011 whilst phase two of the quarter of a million pound refurbishment programme is completed. Phase one will be complete for the grand launch on Saturday 26th February. Please visit the website www.thevanillaalternative.co.uk for details of events and to register on the mailing list. Make your next party a VA party!

	What better way to end our break from the Lifestyle then visiting Bi Night here. We hadn't fully committed to going, until a good friend of ours asked to be taken to her first club night... we knew she'd be in safe hands here. We stood back and watched the staff take the lead in giving our friend the usual attentive tour, before diving straight back in! The crowd (and it WAS a crowd!) were lovely and friendly, the music was cheesy (that's a positive for us) and the staff were professional as ever. It was a fabulously inclusive evening, and everybody was able to be themselves. It was great to reconnect with some old friends, and make some new ones. Date: 8 June 2025

	My wife and i after many years of saying we want to attend a club finally got to go to last nights trans bi mile high event. We had literally made an account the night before and messaged James, as we noticed the email said allow up to 48 hours to be accepted - we panicked, but panic not needed! promptly accepted. so from an admin point of view very helpful and punctual. communication and helping us was 10/10. The event was brilliant, lots of fun going on, lots of hot sexy trans, bi, and everyone in between! what an inclusive environment, we didnt get a tour , but we didnt need one as some friends showed us around. the play equipment is great fun, enjoyed most of the items ti play with (glory hole a fave) the bed space is great, managed to have 6 of us playing. great to see some new faces, thanks to those who come and introduced themselfs to the couple of newbies x Date: 7 June 2025

	Another wonderful evening in the company of the Bi Night crowd, once again, the event host Remember (James) organised a wonderful event and there was a good ratio of couples, men, women and trans-ladies in attendance. A lot of effort is put into the organisation of club events such as this one, and the vibe of the night was really bi-ootiful to see and be a part of. Thank-you X Date: 7 June 2025

	Wow! What an evening! So many sexy people that my voyeurism kink was well and truly kept satisfied. As for my exhibitionist kink, that got a workout as well ?? Thank you yo the hosts and to EVERYONE, of all sexual persuasions, who made it a night to member. Date: 7 June 2025

	Just want to state politely that Kim’s review is not accurate - there were at least half a dozen loveky trans in attendance last night - all were looking amazing and had put huge effort into their outfits and make up etc. i can be sure of that as I know 6 at least in person and had some fun with a couple of them last night. James does a great job at attracting a diverse range of guests and the event was called Trans Atlantic mile high club so clearly it attracted Trans to attend! Date: 7 June 2025

	Shame to see the last review. I'm not sure what happened, but I've been to VA lots and the bi night is incredibly inclusive and full of gender fluidity. I wasnt the only one last night. There were quite a few of us and I had such a fun evening! Thanks James and the VA team! Date: 7 June 2025

	Awful. If you are a tgirl forget this place. You'll be the only tgirl there, and no one will be interested in you. So 100% avoid it's a bisexual club but not for trans Date: 6 June 2025

	Really late review (sorry!). Attended on Saturday 1st March for our second time. This visit we found it much more welcoming and hit it off with another couple (couple from Diss if you see this, hit us up!! Would be lovely to keep in touch) Couldn't fault the staff at all. Facilities were good except shared toilets were a bit rank and the hot tub was a not hot tub. Hopefully the temp will be cranked up higher when we return soon! Date: 1 June 2025

	What a ride FoF was!! The V.A. team are just the best in the country! They work so hard to make sure everyone has a great time. They put on a feast on Thursday & opened the club Sunday night so we could all continue the party together for one last time. The games were the best they’ve ever had. The band are top notch and the DJ’s played banging tunes. Absolutely had the best time. Can’t wait for August. Date: 31 May 2025

	I attended the May Festival of Fun and had such a fantastic time. The hardworking VA team really pulled out all the stops to make sure everybody felt relaxed and enjoyed themselves. From letting people camp early on the Thursday and providing them with fabulous complimentary food, to a brilliant band and great atmosphere both in and around the indoor and outdoor hot tubs, outdoor bar and the club. They even opened up the club on Sunday night, because it was a little chilly outside and so we all finished off the festival in style. I'm very much looking forward to August when we can do this all again. An epic shout out, and many thanks to the amazing VA owners, management and team. Date: 28 May 2025
