Peppa pig world question

I'm thinking of booking for a family of three for 2 nights at the end of Aug. Am I mad to even consider this time of year as it's summer holidays and will be so busy we won't be able to get on anything?

Is Peppa pig world a part of Paultons so we can go in the whiole park or do you pay for peppa pig seperately to Paultons?

I've had a quote for £192 for the three of us in a hotel 10 miles away and the two days entry. Does that seem OK or would I be better off booking hotel and park seperate?

Thanks
It's only a bargain if you need it.

    It is all combined into the one entrance fee into Paultons Park. So there won't be any added expenses there.
    As for the hotel, I live in Southampton, the cheapest I can think of here is etap (www.etaphotel.co.uk) . It's a basic hotel, however if all you want is rooms with bed, shower and tv then from £18 a night is ideal.
    Have fun!!

    the peppa pig bit of paultons i would imagine would be busy tbh, if the weathers good i reckon 20 mins half an hour waiting for each ride?? the main paultons bit is always quieter. (but then if you are used to chessington or somewhere like that half an hour might not sound to bad to you!:D)
    Is your child under 1 meter? if they are i think you'd be cheaper booking a premier inn and buying your tickets on line (to save the queue to buy on the day) if they are over a meter then the £192 doesn't sound to bad to me.

    edit - actually i've just re read your post, 2 nights in a hotel and 2 days in paultons? if so £192 sounds pretty good i think!

    Thanks for replies. 30 minutes is nothing! I am used to Thorpe park fright nights so much much longer queues!

    I've found a local hotel for three nights which will work out cheaper and be an extra night so going for that then we don;'t have to spend two days in the park if we get on everything in the first day.
