As Jubilee fever grips England, there can be few better places for a summer weekend break than the Queen’s hometown of Windsor, about 40 minutes from London by train. With this half-price deal (based on two sharing), rooms at the 4-star Beaumont Estate are now $153 (£99) per night, including tax, as well as:

• Full English breakfast (worth $22.50/£14.50 per person)
• Complimentary bottle of wine with dinner (worth $31/£19.95)

The offer is valid for Friday-Sunday stays from June 1 - July 26 and Aug. 13 - Sept. 3 including peak summer dates.

Upgrade to a family room for an extra $46 (£30) per room, per night. With the upgrade, up to two children under the age of 12 can stay free when sharing with two adults and eat for free before 7 p.m. from the children's menu. Children also have access to the kids room with DVDs, games, cookies and milk.

Situated in 40 acres of gardens in Old Windsor, the hotel is a two-minute stroll from the Thames. On-site facilities include a heated indoor pool, a gym and all-weather tennis courts.
