   It's a naked adult venue spread across 3 floors which have differing etiquette. Reading their website carefully will give you an idea of what to expect on each given session as they vary, you should carefully pick the one to suit your desire. The place accommodates naturists, couples looking to broaden horizons & experienced lifestyle players. It does this very well while keeping the sensibilities in check downstairs & while keeping safe discipline upstairs. Ground floor is the entrance & bar, it sells soft drinks & snacks at normal bar prices on tab/deposit. Downstairs is a naked Spa, the cleanliness is immaculate. The fixtures are all in working order but some of the finishing is dated but still way above expectation for the entrance price you'll pay. Petting is tolerated, but heavy petting is not. My partner & I were told off for her sitting on me. The spa will accommodate anyone comfortable with being naked either solo or with their opposite gendered partner on couples sessions. Upstairs has adult restrooms, half of which are private, ie have a latched door & the others are open rest/bed spaces. People who are looking for shared experiences will be happy. Newbies can take a peek too & make a quick retreat if they are not so keen. The staff & in particular the owner are complete gems, they are super friendly but can also be formidable when required. They go out of their way to make sure woman in particular are safe & happy. Most of the negative comments here are from men who as you would expect have not been as lucky as they'd have hoped for on singles sessions.

   Friendly staff and warm welcome. Nice range of temperatures in the steam rooms, saunas, hot tubs and pool. The manager has a great sense of humour and I can imagine the only reason why people may have found her abrupt (which I’ve read in some reviews) was if they were breaking a rule (and the rules are in place to keep people safe and having an enjoyable experience). She was especially fantastic when I was getting changed at the end and had lost a contact lens by bringing in a little mirror with light to help me locate it! Thank you :-) I went on the Saturday evening session from 5.30 and enjoyed the atmosphere and balance of couples. I am not sure i would enjoy it if I attended mid week and found it full of lots of guys but the time at which I attended I felt very safe and comfortable and had a relaxing evening. Lockers are provided with a key that you return to reception - so no need to pack a £1 or to carry the key around for anyone who may be wondering. Also parking is right outside on the street with a pay by phone app. Very convenient.

   I have been here a handful of times now and always enjoyed my visit. Saturday evenings are for couples only, and the rest rooms (especially the big one that fits five couples) can get very interesting lol. There are cleaning sprays, tissues and bins, so it is pretty obvious what goes on. But keep it to the rooms for adult fun, as some people are just there to enjoy the spa, and the owners will not tolerate rule breaking if you want to go back. As the rooms are up a lot of stairs, its easy to seperate the spa from the play, so you can be as involved as you like or not at all. So it is good that you will not be harrassed if you just want a spa. I have been in the daytimes too and it is a very different experience. I could be naked and relaxed, find my own space if needed or chat with others with no one batting an eyelid. Completey destressed from busy life after such a calming spa and slept so well. Everyone was friendly and respectful and I am looking forward to my next visit. Thank you.

   I have been to this lovely spa multiple times and love it. There is a nice café area for drinks and light meals, a full relaxing spa down the spiral stairs and rooms upstairs to rest. It's inexpensive for the amount of time and facilities you can use too. Very clean and the water is tested regularly. The big jacuzzi is lovely and the cool pool is good to plunge in after the sauna or steam room for circulation. I know some use this spa for adult reasons, but I find it amazing as a regular spa. A good winter retreat from the cold weather and so relaxing. Remember to take a big towel if like me you're on the bigger side. Unfortunately you'll always get a few bad apples in the public who try to buck the rules, but the staff are firm with them so if you think you can film, put hands on women without consent, stay beyond a session time or try to hide and stay as a single male during couples spa time you'll rightly be told to leave. I appreciate the rules and keeping us safe. The owner is lovely btw!

   As always a wonderful experience. We have been coming here for twenty years. As naturists we highly recommend visiting. We now live in Northern Ireland and spent 4 days holiday in Brighton this November. Choose Brighton so we could attend here. So it must be good Staff and owner very friendly. Doing all their regular checks and keeping the place clean and tidy. The only thing that disappointed us was the " Friday people " who thought it a great idea to chat very loudly up on the upper deck. Normally a lovely zen place to relax and chill. Unfortunately we never got the area without the group spoiling the ambience. We left earlier than expected mildly disappointed. Not the spa's or teams fault. However we will definitely be back, just not a Friday afternoon/ evening

   I just cannot rate this place highly enough. Its the ONLY spa in the uk that is absolutely fabulous in every way- the location is central, the staff are respectful and pleasant, the fee is very reasonable for the pleasurable time you can spend there, the facilities are clean and wonderful, and the entire experience takes you back to the roman era ! Simply fantastic! Best of all is complementing your spa experience with the rest and relaxation rooms upstairs. Thank you BG for this great experience. It was my first time there and I would definitely be coming back again!

   I've been there recently, it was a very pleasant experience. The premises looked very clean and relaxing. Friendly and courteous staffs. Overall a 5 star experience. I would like to ask the management whether they would consider single entry all day and in the evening on Sunday, keeping couple entry only for Saturday evening? See you soon again.

   My partner and I wanted to take the opportunity to thank Sam and her exceptional team. We made wonderful new friend in such a special place. The spa has a relaxing and respectful atmosphere. The ethos is about safety but fun. We spent 5.5 hours at the spa, had a tasty lunch and met with non-judgemental, diverse and interesting people. We will be back to relish the beautiful waters. Thank you

   The 1 star is for the staff that were very friendly and helpful. However, the owner discriminated me and my wife and humiliated us in front of other guests as we were trying to find our way around from the lockers. She treated us as if we were criminals not knowing that SOME DISABILITIES ARE INVISIBLE. Helping first timers to go around the spa and the rules would have been greatly appreciated. The staff tried their best and they're brilliant, but the owner needs to learn manners
