Looking at the website, I take it as £64 per person for hotel, breakfast as well as a two day ticket, which is actually very good value considering how much a ticket would cost. My only thought is will there be separate parking for hotel guests?
I read it as that too Coolbeans, when you consider early booking discounts, four can share a room, there is no mention of car park payments (bet you it is not included - willing to be proved wrong of course), and second day visit tickets are, even by my present annoyance at Merlin, exceptional value.
You're probably looking at £37(ish) for a 2 day pass, booked in advance. Based on four sharing that makes the box the best part of £110 a night. I would, based on their current attitude, suggest parking wont be included (they'd make a big deal out of that?) - do you pay at Towers Hotels? Never stayed in one as only an hour away.
Is that value, including breakfast? It's a toughie that, depends on how well designed they are in terms of not being affected by other guests behaviour, security on site etc.
If I had the money I'd stay at the Tower's hotels. Where as at Thorpe, I'd always try and find a close hotel or B&B I reckon.
Obviously that all important "FROM" word kicks in, it will be their cheapest, off season, furthest in advance, most amount of people sharing price. Real world price for most people will likely be a fair bit more!
If you can get it though at £64, 2 days, including brekky - that's not too shabby.
Stereotypically, Thorpe's guests have been given a bad rap sheet - queuejumping, loud, anti-social and brash. However, they're not the majority of guests.
