Restful hotel for convalescent family member

Are we talking heart surgery here?

I’m just asking because the “convalescent” period might look a bit different from what you imagine?

Chewton Glen if budget is not a problem

Thank you Lathyrus, not heart surgery as such.
As it happens I’ve experience of quadruple heart bypass recovery elsewhere in the family but not the same area this time. Not cancer either.

Hope it all goes well ?

Afraid I don’t know that part of the world at all.?

There’s a lovely hotel with an excellent reputation not far from where I live, that would fit the bill. It’s about 45 minutes from the M4 junction at the Coldra, east of Newport.

Thank you Casdon. It looks lovely & I will explore the website in detail.

Thanks to Grannygravy13 too. I’ve stayed at Chewton Glenn in the past so it’s a good suggestion too. Thank you.

Casdon we’ve stayed there a couple of times, it’s a lovely hotel. On one occasion we rented the gatehouse, but took meals in the Main Hotel, it’s not too far to walk.

It looks lovely Casdon.

I don't know when this person will be recovering from major surgery and time in intensive care on life support but I would say from recent experience that it will probably be some time before he will be fit enough to tackle a car journey and a stay in a hotel.
The time spent on life support may need a longer recovery time than the surgery. He will be more vulnerable to Covid too and home may be safer for the time being.

However, if you do plan this, I recommend you make sure there is a good lift or book a ground floor bedroom.

A friend always recommends the Trefidian (sp?) hotel in Aberdovy Wales. She says it’s perfect for a relaxing break. It gets 5* reviews on trip advisor.

How about the Northfield hotel in Minehead? It looks nice. Lovely gardens and terrace, close to the sea.

I agree with Callistemon
It’s also reassuring to be near to your GP, local hospital etc.

The Hollies Hotel at Bower Hinton, near Yeovil is nice. Lovely rooms, many on the ground floor, a garden, delicious food.

Oh wow you’ve all given me some good ideas and I take on board what Callistemon says about slow recovery, vulnerability & convalescence.
I won’t book anything until I’m sure he’s up to strength & GP says he’s completely out of the woods. He will enjoy planning a trip and gives him something to look forward to as the days lengthen.
Thanks to all for your good wishes, advice and suggestions.

You are spot on about having something to look forward to.
You will both enjoy the researching and planning.
And even if it you go late than expected, you will have something to aim for.
I know exactly how that feels.
Wishing you both all the very best

I stayed at The Celtic Manor near Newport after my knee replacement
