  • If you are going to the theme park on the first day, you can pick up a 'tomorrow2ticket' at the park that you can use at the waterpark for a discounted £9 per person, (rather than on the gate price for the waterpark of £14).
  • Just received this offer by e-mail, really tempted to book, anyone beat this price of £259 for 2 adults & 2 children, 2 night hotel, DBB & 1 day pass at Alton Towers and 2 day pass for Waterworld.

    I don't think this deal is for the AT hotels as Waterworld is a different attraction 14 miles from there. You can often get cheap hotel deals. For example when we went in June we stayed at the Ashbourne Travelodge for £9 a night (booked in advance in the last sale) and was 15 minutes drive away. They have a new pub next door that does cheap meals including breakfast.

    How was the Ashbourne Travelodge? We've stayed in a few Travelodges, of varying quality - just wondered where on the scale this one came out?

    I would say it hasn't been open that long as it was all very clean and new looking. It had a pub next door that also looked like a new build called the Stepping Stones which had an outside eating area and play area for kids. The pub did quite nice food and was reasonably priced (also I signed up with Marstons emails in advance and got a 50% off voucher emailed to me). Not much of a view as a field in front and was hard to find with the TL postcodes (must be because it is a new build) but if you use the Marstons Stepping Stones Pub postcode you won't have a problem. It is about a 5-10 minute drive into Ashbourne Town itself and across the main road from the pub/the TL is a small trading estate which has an M&S simply food for snacks, papers etc. Plenty of parking in front of the TL and pub.
