Help needed finding UK Hotel please?

Hello forumites,

I'm hoping some one can help me please?
My partner has recently had a lot of health issues, including tests for heart, lung issues, and possible cancer. So, it's been a stressful couple of weeks. He really does need a break from it all.
What I'm looking for is a nice hotel, with a spa preferably, in an quiet location, not loads going on. A big ask would be somewhere with no or limited phone signal and WiFi, not likely I know, but would like him not to be connected to, or available available to work, they can cope without him! I just want him to relax.

Any ideas people please?
Macdonald Craxton Wood Hotel and Spa is the kind of place I was thinking, maybe?

Thanks in askance.

    I'm in Leeds, but happy to travel, preferably train and taxi, as he's more inclined to stay put with no car.i just want him to relax / chill out.

    Although a holiday lodge rather than a hotel, my sister rates Forest holidays. They never have any phone signal there, which they like for a holiday. They have a private hot tub, go for walks and have spa treatments in their lodge. There is a bar an restuarant on site as well.

  • The Inn at Whitewell, little or no signal there most of the time and it is sublime.

    Plenty of wifi/4G, but The Gainsborough in Bath has their own natural hot spring bore hole Spa, and there's only fairly gentle stuff to do in Bath.

    Not sure about availability of WiFi, but I do know the phone signal is hit and miss all through the valley :) You'd need to prebook a taxi, but I'm sure they'd help arrange that for you.

    Most of Cornwall was very patchy for phone signal when I last visited and it's gorgeous down there.
    Don't listen to me, I'm no expert!
