Breaks for the very elderly

What about Crieff in Scotland,the Devonshire Arms is very comfortable, and there’s one of them at Burnsall , Doxford Hall Northumberland. We’ve had lovely weather in all of those in spring but it’s not guaranteed. You do have to check that there is no wedding going on as that changes the character of any hotel.

Look at Dumfries and Galloway, not too overrun with tourists at this time and some lovely hotels both inland and seaside. Thought repeating OPs posts, just stay at home, relax, go out for meals, nothing fancy or if you can, have meals delivered. (some hotels will do this). Your DH needs to rest by the sounds of it and learn not to be so controlling re his work situation.

I agree, if that's what he wants then fine.

I once stayed in Ayr for a wedding but a quick google didn’t find it. I recommend Bluestone in Wales with lovely accommodation but too far to travel for you. I’m not much help really. Sorry but hope you and OH have a relaxing time not too far from home with a bit of pampering for you and meals prepared.

Why don’t you call it a luxury break which starts at your own doorstep.? Pick the hotel you like and have a chauffeur driven car to do the driving there and back.

Mokryna That is more my style. I loathe renting a cottage because I am just exchanging kitchen sinks.

I would prefer to be close to shops to pop in for a coffee.

A hotel that is not too close to home would be good. You do not want to be so close that he wants to nip home to see what mail is on the doorstep.

Chauffeur-driven door-to-door also appeals, and I had not thought about that. You are putting ideas in my mind!

What about a lodge with hot tub in the lakes?

Not helpful really, but I took my dad to Warners the last couple of years when he was 93/4… him and mum used to go regularly and he wanted to go after she died.
Yes, the locations are lovely, but he didn’t access anything and went to bed at 9 just as the entertainment was starting as he thought it was too loud. My son came too last year and I survived only because he did.
Dad talked about booking for last Christmas, but two separate rooms and no discounts made it well over £4000 for 4 days which I wasn’t prepared to spend of anyone’s money, even tho he can easily afford it.
So yes, they have their place if you are willing and able to engage, but otherwise I wouldn’t.

I too like your idea mokryna.

Llandudno is very flat

From personal experience, I wholeheartedly agree with Sago, Swinton Park is wonderful. Rooms, in the castle, are spacious and comfortable and the food is amazing.
The estate is set in 200 acres of gardens and woodlands
