Why you should go: Oatlands Park Hotel is a Grade II-listed country house built at the turn of the 18th century but sits on the original site of a Tudor palace built by Henry VIII. You can soak up more royal history at Hampton Court Palace and Windsor Castle, both of which are a short drive from the hotel.

What's the big deal? Travelzoo members can save up to 40% on the hotel's direct rates. You'll get an overnight stay for two people in a Superior Double room, a 2-course dinner, your choice of a 25-minute massage or facial, and breakfast for £189.
