We attended Kestrels on Saturday, 29th November, our first ever visit to a club. Although we were a little shy and nervous, we received a friendly greeting and were given a brief tour of the facilities. After leaving our clothes in the locker, we realised just how cold it is walking outside with nothing but a towel for warmth! The barn contains a lot of the play areas and dungeon but is quite a long walk from the house and the pool when it's cold, and although it was slightly warmer inside, it wasn't quite warm enough to tempt us to stay!
Instead, we took advantage of the lovely warm pool and the indoor hot tub. We had a little fun in the pool and then went into the hot tub, where the couple who were already there were really relaxed and friendly and helped us to feel at home. By the time a third couple joined us, we were ready for a little fun and ended up having a wonderful time!
Although we only purchased a day pass, by the end of our visit we were sure that we'd be back so paid the difference to upgrade to full membership.
To sum it up, the facilities are really good and clean, the staff and owners seem really nice and the couples who were present were all really down to earth and easy to talk to. The only slight drawbacks were that the barn and house were a bit on the chilly side and that it was a little too quiet (although maybe that was good for a first-time couple!) We'll definitely be going back!
