COVID insurance for short UK break

Can anyone recommend a policy that can cover COVID disruption for a short break in the UK. I'm taking my parents away for my dad's 7th and would like to cover the cost of accommodation cancellation in case one of the 5 of us tests positive and has to isolate. Its only 2 nights but the accommodation is £1200 so id like to cover it if we can't go.

Watching with interest OP as were looking for this for x 2 weeks breaks over the half terms.

We're used to buying it for a fortnight in the sun somewhere so relative to the holiday cost it never seems too bad. I'm struggling to find uk hols equivalent which covers the many gaps the holiday cottage provider (understandably, they are a small business) leaves whereby, after deducting £150 excess for any claim, it really provides any actual benefit Sad so many people we know who holiday regularly in the uk it seems never bother with insurance.

From what I've seen so far Direct Line seem to offer the most cover including I think cover for unable to travel due to local lockdown at either end. It's not cheap though, £185 we were quoted for what will amount to x 8 nights away.
