Check if they need PCR confirmation of COVID, if it's lateral flow only you could "catch COVID" 2 days before.

Fucked up and just booked a hotel I don't want via booking.com.
There is a £50 cancellation fee (the price of the room). I took out insurance, but now I'm reading it, it only covers me for:
• Events 1 – Injury, illness and involuntary unemployment
A. Accidental death, injury, illness or quarantine on the
orders of a treating medical practitioner of a guest.
B. Accidental death, injury or illness of a guest’s close
relative or close business partner.
C. Involuntary unemployment, or having a contract ended
early if self-employed, of a guest.
• Events 2 – Natural disaster
• Events 3 – Limited pre-departure Covid-19
Paid by debit card.
I've msg the hotel and explained why I want to cancel and asked if they can wave the fee, but am not hopeful.
Is there anything I can do? Any sort of distance selling cooling off regs?
Cheers
Note to self: don't book things hungover
