AIBU to ask if a luxury hotel that's toddler friendly with toddler activities actually exists in the uk?

Been let down on a holiday booking and scrambling to find something else - so I know there won't be much availability this year. But it's struck me as I'm searching that there really isn't much hotel wise that is properly family friendly (not just the availability to pop a cot in a room and a kids menu).
I know some hotels offer baby monitors and soft play etc on site but I've only found Watergate Bay in Cornwall so far and the Ickworth in Suffolk. Can anyone recommend anything else they've stayed at and found really good?

Quite a few who used to offer this kind of thing, as well as a spa etc for adults, seem to have closed a lot of their toddler areas due to Covid which is a shame but understandable.

I'm looking for next year as well as a last minute for November (likely I know) so if anyone has any suggestions I'd be grateful. We're south east, but happy to travel around the UK. Budget is flexible.
Thank you!

Saunton Sands hotel in Devon has had good play schemes in the past - not sure what it’s like post COVID, but worth checking out.

Saunton Sands has a supervised playroom with 2 hours free plus a children’s pool

Fowey Hall Hotel the same chain as the Ickworth but much nicer.

Moonfleet Manor in Dorset. I've never been there as we're local, but I was impressed at what they offered when I looked them up years ago.
