The Maltings Naturist Spa

I will be in Hertfordshire next week.
I was wondering if anyone has been The Maltings.
Has anyone else been there ?

Never been but saw this posted on another forum in May:-

A little while ago, now, I was chatting with folks at the Watford
Swim, and they were quite irate that the Maltings could also use the
term 'naturist' when it definitely has a reputation for being a
swingers place.

someone recently asked about naturist spa's in London and this wwas my
response - including Maltings!

I have been to Elixir, Rio's & Maltings all 3 are friendly but not very
celubrius!

Elixir is small but the most (IMO) Naturist friendly of the one's I've been
to. The relaxtion seating is bar stools which isn't very relaxing but the
best use of the space and the Massages are unhurried & relaxing.

Maltings facilities are larger with more relaxtion area's including sofa's &
comfy chairs and does have a wide Naturist following in that area! I have
only been once for a massage and was puzzled to select the masseuse on their
dimensions rather than skill & experience. I also felt uneasy to use the
facilities as with both Elixir & Rio's the use of facilities was quite
clearly included in the massage price, and to find the entry prices wasn't
very clear.

Rio's has a swinging feel to it(IMO)?! not my reasons for going to a
Naturist Spa but on the afternoon I went, there was a couple of gentlemen
making use of the rare naturist facilities in London whilst on business
trips with a spare day to themselves, who appeared to be of the same mind as
me, although being the afternoon maybe it hadn't warmed up yet. It also has
an outside area to sunbathe, the only other spooky bit for me was it was
clothing optional esp. for staff rather than totally Naturist.

As for Bristol Gardens in Brighton I have yet to go there but hope to go
there with my wife (once encouraged) and the website looks quite luxurious
and the most committed naturist spa of the 4 and being in Brighton you have
a choice of beaches, which we've yet to visit.
