Why you should stay: This Tudor castle is no ordinary countryside retreat—King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn once roamed its halls. Centuries later, original details like centuries-old stonework and ornate oriel windows are still present, but multimillion-dollar refurbishments have added modern comforts. (And now it’s part of the Relais & Châteaux portfolio, one of the world's most exclusive collections of luxury hotels and resorts.) While the regal setting might make you reluctant to leave the grounds, you’ll be well positioned for day trips to Bristol, Bath and Stonehenge.

What’s the big deal? Travelzoo members can spend three nights in a castle built for royalty with this exclusive offer. For $999 (non-member rate: $1601), enjoy historic-yet-modern accommodations, plus a three-course dinner and afternoon tea at the highly rated restaurant.
