To wonder where I can go for a 3-4 day break?

I haven't been on holiday - either abroad or within the UK - for about 4 years. Long story short, I developed a pretty major disability (Long COVID) in 2022, which has completely changed my life. I'm at a point now where I can do a bit more, and just feel sad at all the fun times I could have had, had I not gotten sick. I'd like to go away - just solo - for a few days, but my definition of "away" has hugely changed.

I live in London. I'd happily sit on the train for an hour or so to get somewhere, but not much more. I keep looking at spa breaks and hotels etc, but don't really understand how they work, and the ones within London are extremely expensive. But I can't really go too further afield either.

Honestly, I just want to sit in a nice hotel, or some nice surroundings for a few days, without any pressure. All the "health retreat" type stuff I've seen is mostly geared around walking/exercising/yoga classes, all of which I still can't really do because of my health.

Any ideas? Thanks so much <3

Sounds like you want a hotel with nice rooms and a lovely lounge/conservatory to sit in during the day, with grounds or places nearby you can stroll round.

You talk about a spa break, are you wanting a swimming pool and/or treatments.

I agree Eastbourne would be a good option.
