Devon
A dreamy UK weekend getaway to Devon is always in order. Book with Travelzoo and you can look forward to a countryside home-away-from-home break, complete with oak-beamed ceilings, roaring open fires and beautiful gardens courtesy of Mill End Hotel.
Set on the banks of the River Teign and Dartmoor National Park, there are plenty of riverside walks, rural hikes and activities to get stuck into.
Must-See Attractions: Castle Drogo, Dartmoor National Park, Lyford George and Becky Falls.
Brighton
Just an hour outside of the capital, Brighton is mini London by the sea. There’s so much to see and discover in this cosmopolitan city, from strolling through The Lanes stopping by boutiques, indie record shops and vegan cafes to classic amusements and rides on the pier.
With Travelzoo’s offer, you’ll stay at The Old Ship Hotel, home to sea-view rooms and access to all parts of the city. It’s Brighton’s first recorded inn and in its time has seen the likes of the Prince Regent hosting a ball here and Charles Dickens giving readings during his stay. It’s just minutes from must-see attractions too including the photo-worthy Royal Pavilion and Palace Pier.
Must-Visit Attractions: The Lanes, Royal Pavilion, Brighton i360 and South Downs for avid walkers and cyclists.
Dorset
From crystal-clear waters and indoor pools to ancient castles, Dorset is the perfect rural escape for anyone wanting to escape busy city life. Travelzoo’s offer lets you stay at the idyllic Knoll House, which was a firm favourite and regular retreat of children’s author Enid Blyton. It’s said that she used Studland as inspiration for the Toytown in her Noddy book classics and nearby Corfe Castle for settings in her Famous Five stories.
A five minute walk from the National Trust’s Studland Bay, home to clear waters and sand, this is a beautiful spot to explore. There are plenty of close attractions worth visiting too, including Swanage for a steam railway adventure and the infamous Durdle Door for a beach photo moment.
On-site there’s a nine-hole pitch-and-putt course, tennis courts and indoor swimming pool, as well as a cinema room, games room and dog-friendly rooms.
Must-See Attractions: Durdle Door, Swanage, Strudland Bay and Corfe Castle.
Lancashire Coast
For a seaside getaway with all of the classic attractions, this is the perfect spot. With this Travelzoo offer, you’ll be staying right on the promenade in Lytham St Annes, a seaside resort on the Flyde Coast in Lancashire.
Spend the morning strolling the wide sandy beaches before walking over to Fairhaven Lake for canoeing, rowing boats and birdwatching. Blackpool is a short 2o-minute drive away, where you can delight in classic seaside antics from 2p machines to taking a trip up to the top of the Blackpool Tower.
The hotel boasts a 20-metre indoor pool, sauna, spa bath and steam room. The hotel’s Bar Indigo also features an outdoor terrace overlooking the beach for stunning sunset views.
Must-See Attractions: Fairhaven Lake, Ribble Estuary National Nature Reserve and Blackpool for traditional seaside attractions.
