    HI

    number is 0871 222 6670 & yes its SUN again.
    Valid for overnight stays to nov 4th on limited number of rooms on B&B basis only.

    HTH

    Thank you, just tried to ring them but after getting through all he automated rubbish they say they closed at 6pm :mad: why can't they state this at the start of the call - that the booking line is closed.

    Thanks so much though, I'll try again tomorrow!!!

    merlin passes are not valid for the waterpark. You can buy and annual waterpark pass (£60 per person?) or day tickets if there is availability (£13 adults, £10 kids rings a bell).

    You can, buttrouble is you only get a discount (20% I think) in the waterpark. A little tip from a local - we go on the kids after school offer - £7.50pp last time. Or when we have holiday guests with children under 5 we suggest they do the toddler deal which has been brilliant at £5. Check this year's deals by phoning the Waterpark after 10am as they change a bit, but beware these deals are hard to find on the website.

    there are plenty of good B&B near alton towers. We always go to one called the Laurels, very nice and only about a 5 min drive to the towers.
    and lots more accommodation listed on the alton-staffs local village website.

    Don't the Merlin Passes allow for guest? I have seen this on their website but cannot get info on whether guests get charged and if so how much. Does anyone know?
