Recommendations for a quiet accessible self-catering break in southern England

Hello all. My parent is now doing a lot better (thanks for previous support) and we are looking for a short break location. The accommodation needs to be semi-accessible and by that I mean on the ground floor, with nice big bathroom and nothing to trip on. My parent walks with a stick, and has some vision issues, but otherwise ok.

We would love somewhere in the south of England, with quiet space and nature, self-catering. Does anyone have a good suggestion?

I did think about the Forest Holidays site in Hampshire but it doesn’t have great reviews lately. But that’s the kind of thing we are looking for. Thanks all.

https://www.ourbench.co.uk/ in the new forest looks great, although we never stayed there in the end. And same for here https://www.flatspaces.co.uk

I can recommend a few places in Norfolk too if that could be “south” enough..

Thanks very much! Norfolk would be very popular with my parent but it’s about 4 hours drive so a bit far for a short break. I do love it though!
