It used to be the manor house on a farm. Then it became a hotel. As a hotel it changed
hands and the new owner intended to keep the manor house as a hotel and develop the land,
build houses on it etc.. He could not get the necessary permits to build and sold it to
the present owners. Some say that he knew exactly who he was selling it to, and what they
were going to do with it, and that he sold it to them for revenge over not getting the
permits he wanted. He denies this, but I bet the story helped him get permits on his later
projects.

The new owners consisted of four people. One guy who likes to remain in the background a
sleeping partner who is in it only for the money, a second guy who runs by an ordinary
name, so I`ll call him Bob. And a married couple who like to call themselves The Count and
The Countess. These are not genuine titles they deserve, but mantles they took apron
themselves. The fact that they wear long dark opera cloaks and paid a dentist to fit them
with permanent false fangs will give you some idea exactly which `count` they style
themselves on.

The new owners applied to convert the hotel into a private club. It would remain as a
hotel, but only for members not the public. Permission was readily granted, they probably
saw it as a step up the social ladder for the area. And as they were going to keep the
farm land "unfarmed, but tended, for the pleasure of members and their guests"
that satisfied those who did not want the land built on.

But I guess they should have asked what sort of club it would be.

And what sort of people the members would be.

The `silent partner` was only there for the money, but Bob, The Count and The Countess
intended it to be as much pleasure as business. The hotel would continue as a hotel but
all guests would be people interested in B.D.S.M..

Originally the new owners were going to hire prostitutes as `slaves`, to take part in
whatever sadistic fantasy the member`s wanted, but they soon found that there were plenty
of submissive women who were not only prepared to be tied up, tortured, and used as a sex
toy, they actually wanted to be tied up, tortured, and used as a sex toy.

At first the club was run like a sort of "swingers" club, with members coming
along and pairing up for their kinky B.D.S.M. games. But the problem with that was that
the number of women who wanted to join as `victims` were vastly outnumbered by the number
of members who were sadists. The situation was helped somewhat when the owners started
only charging the Doms and Dommes, and let the Subs join and attend for free. But there
were still a hell of a lot of D.s to every S..

Their final solution was to arrange `gang bangs`. The members would decide on a scenario,
then a woman (or sometimes several women) were asked to volunteer as a victim. The women
were only given a rough outline of the scenario (eg "You will be the daughter of a
rich man, but a bitch to the servants. When your father goes away the staff decide to
teach you a lesson") but when they joined all women filled in a form saying exactly
how far they were prepared to go, and how much they were prepared to suffer, so the owners
who knew how extreme the scenario was going to get, would ensure that only women whose
limits encompassed the extremes that particular scenario would extend to, were invited to
join that scenario. They still kept the "one on one" type of scenario, where
individual paying members "used" individual non paying members (or groups), but
since these work out a lot more expensive for the paying members the arranged gang bang
type events proved popular enough to reduce their demand on "victims" to make
the model workable.

Although most of the scenarios are now submitted to Bob, The Count, or The countess for
them to find a suitable woman for the members to abuse, the swingers type evenings still
happen occasionally. But as a rule the members prefer the new system of getting one of the
owners to pick their victims. This is because Bob, The Count, or The countess are the only
people they have to tell their scenario to in advance - they then sort out free member(s)
who they know from their records will be happy with everything that the paying member(s)
want to do to her. Then the victim only has to be told who she is, and where the scenario
is supposed to take place. (EG "You are called Alica, you are the daughter of a lord.
He is a good man, but you are a stuck up bitch. The servants at the manor house love your
father, but hate you. you take every opportunity to insult and belittle the servants and
make them aware that you are higher born than them. At the start you are in bed, your
father had to leave the house on business so you wake up at your usual mid morning time
and summon the butler to get your breakfast.") If they meet their victim at a
swingers type evening, they have to explain everything that is going to happen to her in
advance so she can decide if she is prepared to participate (the members obviously do not
have access to other member`s files) and most of them consider it a lot more fun if it all
comes as a nasty surprise for their victims.

As well as rooms for the guests, the hall has a bar, a large dining hall, a small hall
with a stage, a couple of large rooms that used to be used as `conference rooms`, and an
enormous cellar that has been split into two, and was originally used for storage. All
these can be pre-booked by the members to use in their scenarios. Also, although the
bedrooms are used mostly for members to stay in overnight, some are often used in the
scenario, mostly the large ones (`family rooms` when it was just a hotel). And there are
also three suites that get used more for scenarios than to house guests. In addition to
this the building has extensive stables with stable yard, two barns, a pigsty, a large
wire pen that was used for chickens, and several other outhouses and dilapidated caravans
from when it was a working farm. And of course their are fields, a patch of woodland, even
a stream that at it`s widest point can just about be used as a river, and a large pond
that gets called a `lake` in some scenarios. On top of this, a few rooms were converted
into permanent sets (cells etc.). All these areas are used by the members. In the case of
the buildings the members have to book them in advance. With the fields, woods, stream,
and pond they can book an area and make it "exclusive" to them for a while, or
they can just use it alongside other members. Any area that has not been booked for
temporary exclusive use for a member can be used by anyone, so outdoor areas often have
several things going on at once. Of course the members have to pay for whatever areas they
use. De Sade Hall is very profitable.

Although the hall never bothered to get permission to build new buildings, it does have
various props scattered about the grounds, such as several `whipping posts, stocks, a line
of upright fence posts of different heights (for "impaling" victims on, either
by ass or pussy) etc. They even have a working replica of a medieval ducking stool that
can be trundled up to the pond/lake. These can be used by the members, but have to be paid
for. As I said, De Sade Hall is very profitable.

And of course they have an amazing collection of chains, ropes, whips, and assorted
torture instruments.

Nowadays they have an enormous membership, and there is a long waiting list (which is why
they requested I did not use the real name of the hall, they did not want a rush of new
applicants trying to join after reading this book, they are in the enviable situation all
businesses want: more customers than they can handle). At weekends there are usually
several scenarios going on at once in various parts of the hall, and on weekdays always at
least one, sometimes two or three. Most are `gang bang` type scenarios, but a few are
still "one on one". Also members often use the hall simply as a place to
socialise with other members. Those who live close just visit the bar, but those who live
further away often book a room overnight to stay. Since most of the outdoor parts of the
scenarios are done without booking an exclusive area, members also come down in the hope
of watching some other member`s scenario. This is usually good for the member whose
scenario it is, because it adds public humiliation to their victims suffering. (EG.If a
scenario involves the victim being dragged down to the lake, being forced to strip naked,
then put in the ducking stool and dunked in the water as a punishment, it works a lot
better if there is a crowd of "villagers" watching.) Most days the number of
members using the bar and renting rooms just for the atmosphere is greater that the number
involved in a scenario. And in the summer plenty of members use the hall just for a
holiday. A week or two spent among like minded people, some of it watching the other
member`s sadistic games outdoors. I am told that in the summer the banks of the pond often
get as buisy as a holiday beach. Oh yes, De Sade Hall is very profitable.
