I used to have one when I worked for B&Q as they were part of the "bringme" discount scheme which is much better than the crap we currently get.

It was a few years ago, but the code we used was T70 which meant it was £70 B&B for the room... I doubt it works now though :sad:

just called them for you and tried to get them to give me some codes for you based on the pamphlet i have, he says although he has a list of codes he cannot give them out. He suggested that the best deals would be on the web site and to keep scanning it.

I do have another voucher if you can pm me your address i dont mind sending it to you, no probbs.

I wouldn't bother with the hotel. I went there with the family a couple of years back. Awful food, very expensive and the extra hour theme park access you get for being a guest is pointless as none of the decent rides open until 10 when the general public are admitted. We found a lovely pub one evening for dinner, which also had a few comfortable B&B rooms. I wish I'd known about it before I booked the hotel.

Find somewhere local and drive in each day, much better.
I staged a Roger Moore impersonator festival in my local village. There were a lot of eyebrows raised, I can tell you.

"We found a lovely pub one evening for dinner" - I always liked the food and beer in the Talbot, but I think that's been closed for a year or so. I've never been to Alton Towers but have spent much time in the lovely countryside nearby. :Very Happy

I wish I could remember the name of the pub. All I do remember is it was just off the road that the entrance to Alton Towers is on. It may have also been directly next door to another pub.

The Bank House Hotel in Uttoxeter was very good a few years ago, not been there for a while though. :Very Happy

Don't venture far from the hotel though as the townsfolk of Uttoxeter don't take kindly to outsiders. :shock:
