Default Alton Towers...

Well im off there next weekend with the missus, but need to find a decent B&B to kip in on the Friday and the Saturday night. Dont want to stay in the actual hotel at the park (as its fully booked anyway), and dont fancy a TravelLodge.

Can anyone recommend a decent hotel to stay in?? Not too bothered how far away it is, within 10 / 15 miles is fine...

Cheers
Chris

Haven't stayed in it cos I live here in Cheadle and Towers is down the road. I know the Manor is a good place tho because I have been there for functions. There are billions of B&B's round here tho because of Towers.

You can't get red bumper trim inserts can you?

I doubt you can go wrong for accomodation, although I did here one of the pubs in Cheadle only had cold water in their B&B pmsl! There is a big place in Alton which is nice, has a very modern bar underneath it but I'll be buggered if I can remember the name... will have to check. Cheadle is better if you want to go out and get a kebab, have a meal or go drinking tho.

The Manor is actually in Cheadle, so you could walk to a local. There are a variety of pubs from family ones to proper ye oldie lock-in inbred ones. A nice one is the Master Potter which serves food (not too posh but not shit) and had a large beer garden by the main road, you can watch all the boy racers from there LOL
