Holiday this Easter

I'm fairly desperate for a break right now. I've been separated from my husband for nearly a year (and very pleased about this) put having overwhelming load of extra stressors... I've got two children age 4 and 8. I have a chronic health condition which means that I can't walk long distances and fatigue is such a big issue that for now foreign holidays are out because the whole of the rest of the holiday would be wiped out with me recovering from the travelling day. Fatigue is high right now as I'm juggling all the usual single parent stuff on top of negotiations with school about my daughter's special needs and managing a massive refurb project in the new house that we're seeing to move into an plus ex's mental health, sons behaviour issues, and my fluctuating health... 😴😴🫣🫣

Can anybody suggest somewhere not too far from us that would be restful for me but also fun for the kids and the change of scene etc etc. Ideally an hour's drive, 2 tops, as driving causes me pain.

Open to the idea of kids club/ activities, we are all more arty than sporty, daughter has same health condition, so fatigue an issue.

We've always used to go camping but the campervan died last year unfortunately. I was considering buying a new (old) little caravan and have been hunting online, but actually the coordination of that, plus tidying it up, servicing etc is just another job I don't really need right now. Maybe I'll do that on time for summer hols.

Not top budget for sure.. depending on cost of things 4-7 days

Ah , I didn't say we live in South Devon, so luckily there are lots of holiday options here
