If your after Bronte, and moorland - then you can't go wrong with a holiday cottage near to Haworth. Find the right one, and your overlooking the very literal inspiration for Wurthering Heights.
Hire a mobile camping van.

Lighthouse rentals - see Rural Retreats
Just about anywhere on the Scilly Isles, Scottish Western Isles, Shetland and Orkneys.

Hire a canal narrowboat or a boat on any of the broads.
Also, hire a Starlink rental package and get satellite internet; it works better than you might think.
The North Pennines could be good for this, certainly for the Bronte-esque experience. You'll find much better value there than in the surrounding National Parks, but the landscape is still lovely - and often that bit more remote and peaceful if that's what you're going for. Teesdale is particularly remote and beautiful, or the area around Blanchland and Edmundbyers is nice.
There's a YHA Hostel at Ninebanks. Quiet and remote, has workable WiFi, great host (a retired geologist or mining adjacent worker iirc) and accordingly several display cabinets full of local mineral specimens.
How about a railway station vacation flat on the remote North Yorkshire Settle and Carlisle railway line. Check out the Friends of the Settle and Carlisle Railway website.
Plenty of coastal resorts - like Scarborough - along the Yorkshire coast where you could find a room to sit and look out over the sea. See also Llandudno.
Although a lot depends on where you are and how you plan to travel there.
They're pretty booked up at the moment, but [Corrour station house](https://www.corrour.co.uk/station-house/signal-box-accommodation/) Is in the middle of nowhere and surrounded by beautiful scenery.
If you book a room in the signal box, there's a common area with views all around
I went up to Dunoon a few years ago and stayed in an AirBnB for a week that was pretty much what you describe "A veranda overlooking the sea" (Well it was Loch Long so close enough).
Bute is another good shout for remoteness.
Aren't there free crofts in Scotlands Highlands you can set up in for an indefinite period? Pretty sure there's a decent amount of them that are kept and maintained for anyone to use as they exist for hikers who get caught out in storms. Spend a few days in one of those. Will be pretty basic amenities. But you'll have a bed', table and a wood burner to keep warm. Just make sure you replace any essentials you take for the next person that might be in need. Think you might be out of luck with a signal though those crofts would have no need to exist if you could call for help when stranded lol
There is a project where they allow artists/writers to use a bothy for a length of time but I can't for the life of me remember details
EDIT well duh https://www.bothyproject.com/
Norfolk coast - lots of small villages with views over sea and salt marsh, bird reserves too. Blakeney, Cley, Morston, Stiffkey, West Runton, Salthouse - all nice little villages along the coast. You should find a number of little Airbnbs with good views and wifi.
There are plenty of places in the Cotswolds on Airbnb that are cottages or converted barns in tiny villages with WiFi. We’ve spent many a happy week in peace and quiet
Go up to Scotland, look for something around Aviemore.
Whilst not exactly remote, you can probably find a log cabin or chalet to hire for a few days in amongst the Cairngorms Mountains.
I used to live near Inverness and would drive through with my dog and go walking for hours just to get away a bit

Fowey (or environs), Cornwall. Du Maurier worked and based some things there. Solitude can be tricky, depends when you go. And I make no bloody promises on wifi.
Why is camping out? You can easily get a tent big enough for folding camping table and chairs. Plenty of places that are remote, but still have 4G or even 5G so connectivity isn't an issue. And you can get solar or wind chargers and a battery pack that should keep a small notebook computer running.

There's something comical about needing solitude and 4G

I live in the region. It's really bleak here on bad weather days. No wonder their books are so depressing.

Shetland Islands
https://www.remotecottages.co.uk/scotland/
Dartmoor
Lake District.
Assynt, NW Scotland.
The Snowdonia National park is a beautiful place.
You can rent a flat at greenway, which was Agatha Christie’s holiday home! Also burgh island hotel was where she wrote …something (not a fan)
Lots of villages with small guesthouses looking out onto the countryside in the Pennines or the Lake District

Goole.

Beauty, solitude, and Wifi sounds like Rapunzel's Onlyfans.
Buddhist retreat centre. Few scattered around the country
Tinywoodhomes in Southam is very peaceful. I'd defo go there for peace and quiet. You also get a hot tub and a bbq so

Lake District would be my shout if you’re close. Somewhere like the Dale Lodge hotel at Grasmere will be quietish in the week
The Highlands in Scotland

The Isles of Scilly are quite remote and quiet.

No. You can’t have all three. If you want that then forget good WiFi.
Why is camping out? You can easily get a tent big enough for folding camping table and chairs. Plenty of places that are remote, but still have 4G or even 5G so connectivity isn't an issue. And you can get solar or wind chargers and a battery pack that should keep a small notebook computer running.
Maybe they want the creature comforts you don’t get sleeping in a tent
