A few of us are off there from Edinburgh for some of the night rides in late October.

Is there anywhere good and local - preferably with a pub attached - that anyone can recommend for accomodation?

Alton Towers hotel is all very nice but at £160 per night per room is a little excessive :) :)

Hi Willie.

Drop me a mail. I live about 10 miles from AT (sorry, not that many spare rooms! :D) but organised accomodation when the Southern folks came up last month to visit AT.

YHM tell me wha\t you know

When the girlfriend and I stayed at Alton Towers the base rate was £180 per night :o

My advice is to stay close to but not in the hotel, it cost a bloody fortune for 2 days. Also the restaurant is really expensive

Stayed at the local Travel Inn - £40 a night - resturant and bar attached, 10 mins drive...

YGM back Willie :)

Remember, if you stay in a Travel Lodge and are an RAC member, you get a 20% discount. :D

Thanks Chris and everybody much appreciated...

180!!! even the Oast which is a travel lodge I think off the Derby ring road is only 80 a night!

Don't do what quite a number of people do book a hotel at Alton Hamshire and are then surprised they have a four hour journey.

Trus but rather sad.

All the best
