| Why you should go: Immerse yourself in the royal history of Stoke Place, a 17th-century country house built by the master cook to monarchs from King Charles II to Queen Anne. The hotel, which sits in the Buckinghamshire countryside, has 26 acres of gardens to explore, including formal gardens and a large lake. What's the big deal? Travelzoo members can save up to 40% on prices we've seen elsewhere. An overnight stay, with a 3-course meal, a bottle of prosecco, and breakfast, is £109 per couple. |
