Default Luxury spa type vacation in Ontario. Suggestions please

I'm in need of recommendations for a 4 or 5 night vacation that I'll be taking with my octogenarian mum. She's probably fitter than I am but has dodgy knees so not steep hills, uneven ground, stairs. We also have to consider accommodations for deaf people so that really means a modern or recent major refurbishment. And we need two beds, which surprisingly is a problem. Not more than 4 hours drive from Peterborogh.

I'm coming up against dead ends. One of the best is nearby but they have stairs and no deaf stuff.

Any recommendations please?

You could try this place. It should be within range.

I've never been to it, because I'm male. I did, a couple of years ago, purchase spa vouchers. I gave them to my missus and a friend our ours who was staying with us the night before her wedding.

Both of them came back glowing and dreamy-eyed.

Welcome - Nordik Spa-Nature

You could this place too. I've only eaten there. It looks very nice.

Wakefield Mill was another choice I haven't asked them about dead stuff and stairs yet. That Nordic place looks amazing, no suitable accommodation but I'd love to go for the day sometime.

Is Cambridge too far? If not, this place looks rather swish!

Hotel Amenities - Langdon Hall Hotel & Spa Cambridg

Cloister Rooms

Across from the Main House overlooking our croquet lawn or woodlands, these guestrooms offer king, queen, or twin size feather bed accommodations.

Each room has a wood burning fireplace, generous sitting area, luxury 11/2 bath, large picture windows and private dressing area. Ground level rooms have a private patio.

Scandinave Spa Blue Mountain. Scandinavian Baths Day & Resort Spa

Spa Resorts in Muskoka Ontario

Both are relatively close to me but I've no idea what either are like.
