Penthouse Playrooms is a well-established fetish and swingers club in Dunstable, Bedfordshire, hidden discreetly behind an unassuming entrance. The venue spans multiple floors with numerous themed playrooms, a dance floor, bar, and lounge areas, creating an intimate yet spacious atmosphere. Most visitors report feeling welcomed and comfortable from arrival, with many returning regularly and praising the friendly regulars who help newcomers settle in.
A typical night involves arriving dressed up, then changing into lingerie or minimal clothing to explore the playrooms and socialise. The club hosts themed parties and regular newbie nights, with a strong emphasis on consent, communication and body positivity. The dance floor, decor and artwork are frequently highlighted as excellent, and the bar staff are consistently praised as attentive and professional.
The club suits couples exploring the lifestyle for the first time as well as experienced swingers, though opinion is mixed on consistency of staff conduct. Most reviews from 2024 onwards are very positive, though one recent account raised serious concerns about how new guests were treated compared to regulars, suggesting management discretion varies.
- Who goes
- Mostly couples, ranging from curious newcomers to experienced lifestyle participants; ages appear to span 20s to 50s, predominantly local to the Midlands region.
- How opinion has moved
- Reviews remain predominantly positive and warm from 2021 through 2026, though a significant negative review in August 2026 about inconsistent staff conduct stands out sharply against the otherwise enthusiastic consensus.
What guests love
- The layout and abundance of themed playrooms makes exploration exciting and offers something for different interests.
- Regulars and staff make newcomers feel genuinely welcomed and at ease, especially during dedicated newbie nights.
- The dance floor, decor and artwork throughout the venue are of a high standard and contribute to an excellent atmosphere.
- The overall vibe is relaxed and liberating, with zero pressure to participate in anything and strong body positivity.
- The bar staff are consistently friendly, helpful and attentive.
- The venue feels safely discreet and tucked away, with privacy being genuinely maintained.
What guests complain about
- One visitor reported that new guests from different backgrounds received unwelcoming attention from other patrons and unfair treatment from staff compared to regulars.
- Staff conduct has been inconsistent; one account describes a staff member refusing to properly explain why a couple were asked to leave, using dismissive language rather than engaging in dialogue.
- Some visitors reported a cliquey atmosphere on arrival that initially felt unfriendly, though others had the opposite experience.
- Locker security has been an issue, with one recent review noting that lockers with keys were unavailable due to past theft.
- The glory hole area has been described as a « grey area » where boundary violations can occur; one visitor had an unsettling experience with someone lurking there.

Highly recommend this place! We absolutely loved the layout, with so many amazing playrooms to explore and have fun🔥😋 Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, which made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. The dance floor was fantastic, and the décor and artwork were absolutely top-notch👍 The whole atmosphere was incredible, and we had such a magical night! We’ll definitely be coming back again! Thank you…
If you are new and curious or thinking about the lifestyle, just like myself and my partner. This place and the people are brilliant. We stayed in the premier inn not to far away, I was that nervous the pre drinks didnt touch me, would not work at all 😅 we went on a newbie night and honestly the regulars were great and put us at ease. Bar staff are excellent. The atmosphere and rooms are also great. Definitely headin…
The best club in the area for sure.
Very disappointing experience I attended Penthouse Playroom with my partner, and unfortunately the experience left me extremely uncomfortable and upset. We have attended other sex-positive/kink events before, including Le Boudoir, and have never experienced this kind of treatment. From the beginning, I felt uncomfortable with the atmosphere. My partner and I were one of the only Arab couples there, and at one point a…
A wonderful place, I highly recommend it. The atmosphere is lovely and the experience was excellent. I only have one suggestion for the management: it would be great to have an exclusive area where only couples are allowed to enter for partner swapping or intimate moments. I believe this could make the experience even more comfortable and special for everyone. Congratulations on the venue and the organisation.
Our favourite club, and we’ve been to them all over the world!
Great place! Friendly and relaxed feel
We prefer Penthouse Playrooms, but both are good clubs

Review history
Each dot is one dated Google review (33 with stars). The line is the running average. Does the owner answer?
The venue is run by Emz and Martin, who are praised in earlier reviews for their warmth and professionalism; however, recent reviews suggest inconsistent follow-through on maintaining standards, with at least one account of poor staff conduct not being addressed satisfactorily.
