 ultimately its 80% spa & 20% lifestyle venue where's Ignite is 80% lifestyle venue,with the added bonus of a full size pool,3x hot tubs & a steam room making up the other 20% with better play & social areas as well as parking, so for us,personally,Ignite wins hands down  | |||
"Having visited BGHS last sunday having spent the weekend in Brighton,We certainly wouldn't rush back there, 2nd visit & 2nd time we left early, I know some people rave about it,but for us there's just too many rules,& to be spoken to like a 10 year old child after being charged £50 to get in there,left us feeling a little pissed off to say the least ultimately its 80% spa & 20% lifestyle venue where's Ignite is 80% lifestyle venue,with the added bonus of a full size pool,3x hot tubs & a steam room making up the other 20% with better play & social areas as well as parking, so for us,personally,Ignite wins hands down "went to BG last year while working in Brighton and felt exactly the same , talked to you like a 5 yr old and the got shouted at for not hanging my towel up in one of the individual hottubs while chilling out with no one else in sight , Ignite is my regular club , has fantastic facilities and are a friendy lot | |||

. During my visits I found the staff and attendees polite and sociable. Since I moved north I still get the urge to travel down to BGHS again. Made some great friends there. | |||

"Now feeling a bit conflicted. Talked to them twice on the phone trying to book a massage (a factor which swayed our decision to go to BGHS) and the second time the lady wasn't exactly friendly - they aren't taking bookings that far ahead. 🫤 The last time we went to Ignite (Feb social) the pool was cold, and the hot tubs luke warm. Has anyone been recently to advise if they've sorted out the issues? TIA x" Yesterday poll was a warm 31dg & hot tubs a roasting 38.5 | |||

The pool was around 26-28 °C—not quite as warm as previous visits, which were usually about 30 °C. I think they had the temporary boiler set up recently, so it was still heating up perhaps. The hot tubs were a perfect 40 °C. Overall, a very enjoyable visit! We usually check in day before if the pool temperature is where it should be before making the trip! | |||
"We have been to BGHS a fair few times. Yes there are rules but they are in place for a reason. The bad reviews are normally from people who don't follow the rules and have a problem being told they are not following them. Its a beautiful place with lots of places to chill with the advantage of getting a bit of excercise upstairs lol. We have always found the team there really friendly and cannot wait to go back! We were there Thursday and Saturday last week." Exactly this. BGHS has a simple rule, don't play or anything similar anywhere other than the rest rooms. I make no comments regarding anyone in this thread but the only times we've seen anyone spoken to is when they can't follow that simple rule, after which you get the bad reviews. If you want a club with some spa facilities go to ignite. If you want a top class spa with some rest rooms for play go to BGHS. 😎 | |||

Weather you're in the lifestyle or not "Like i said, in my experience of visiting and seeing people get told off, with no judgement of people on this thread. It really suits some people who are very happy with what it is and it doesn't suit others. It would be a shame if all clubs, spas and lifestyle venues were exactly the same. X | |||

"Hi guys After being +5 years in Brighton found time to plan weekly visits to BGHS in coming weeks on Fridays. Im single male (straight), and like to know before attending and get surprised: whats the gender M:F ratio on Fri? (Approx) (90:10ish!😅😂 or 60:40ish or even better 40:60ish) Will be much activity in rest rooms, or couples and single ladies wont attend much on Fri? Thanks for sharing your experiences. " when deciding whether or not you'd like to attend, please remember that BGHS is a naturist place, first and foremost. A lot of the time, sexual activity is discouraged and I remember from my first visit with my partner, we were very clearly told about that on arrival. Yes, there are "rest rooms" available, and sex is, most likely, happening there. But don't expect to be part of anything, even if just as a watcher. Are you confident you'd be happy to just go in and chill, without the need to wear clothes, and not feel short-changed? If the answer is yes, then do go. If the answer is anything but yes, then look for a different venue. | |||
