Following a earlier thread (and having been on this weekend in the past, when it was posted on here)

just looked at this deal
http://www.altontowers.com/short-bre...arty-weekends/

for a one night stay in March 5/6 it was £248, yet for a two night stay £ 169 (almost £80 cheaper) + £1.50 debit card charge
the rooms sleep upto 2 adults + 2 kids

including 2 nights in B&B Alton towers hotel, entertainment & "UNLIMITED USE" of waterpark (do not pay extra for this as it states inclusive) on the homepage and on booking page

this deal 2 years ago was £99 on lastminute.com, still think £169 is a bargain

    We went to this 2 years ago and paid the £99 through Lastminute.com we had a brilliant time and I've been looking out for a similar offer since then. Unfortunately this is still not enough of a bargain for my OH :( but I'm going to keep checking.

    Thanks for posting :beer:

    Youll be about 25 Degrees Celcius off, for any similarity to the Caribbean in March. Better to wait to attend, July/Aug.
    Save saynoto0870.com in your favorites, and stop giving companies more £££ dialling 0870 numbers when you can dial freephones or cheaper alternatives
    call your credit card company, tell them that you want to leave, 99% of the time theyll lower your APR%
    Remember when that Bank Manager or Salesperson smiles at you, all he sees is £ notes. Dont forget the motto, "the wider their grin, the more debt your in"
