I have been visiting Alton Towers for over thirty five years and you quite simply couldnât get a closer property. Even if you stay on site ,or even park in the official car park, you still need to get the monorail - or walk for 15 mins to get to the gates. Bunbury is literally a five minute walk. The property is very spacious and was absolutely great for our group of nine. Three bathrooms ensured there was always a loo available. Sarah went above and beyond in helping us out when we were very late due to a dreadful journey. She stayed behind to accept our supermarket delivery. Thank you so much Sarah- that made all the difference to making the end of a very difficult day a lot better. And she was always available whenever I contacted her and was able to solve our queries. The fixtures and fittings are high quality - just a little tired- but that suited us absolutely fine with raucous children. The kitchen cupboard doors could do with attention and I would like at least one bin upstairs and a non slip mat for the bath but small niggles compared to our overall experience which was excellent. I would love to return.
