Why you should go: If you love off-the-beaten-path experiences, harbor an obsession with "The Crown," or a little bit of both, then the Isle of Wight belongs on your travel radar. The island off the southern coast of England has drawn vacationers—and royalty—since the Victorian era with its sandy beaches and stunning coastline (of which all 68 miles are walkable).

Once part of Queen Victoria's summer home, the 10-room Albert Cottage has retained much of its period elegance, while garnering high praise from past Travelzoo guests for its natural gardens and excellent dining.

What's the big deal? Save up to $179 on fall and winter stays with this offer that includes daily breakfast, a two-course dinner for two and roundtrip ferry tickets.

Travelzoo tip: Stay three nights, and you'll also receive entry tickets for Osborne House, the circa-1845 royal estate and most popular site on the island.
