Hive thermostat winter temperature setting
What would you say is an acceptable temperature for the thermostat to be set at?
We live in our own renovated cottage and feel others should share this experience.

Does what you set the thermostat to correlate to what temperature the room reaches? Mrs T sometimes turns it up to 25c but it never gets that warm, the boiler isn't big enough but it pleases her to think it is

We have set the hive thermostat to 20 when we have guests. We try not to look at the temperature levels when we have guests, but for some reason you do. We were surprised that guests would want 24-25!
Is this the norm?
Whilst the property is vacant we set the thermostat at 17.

I don’t think there is a normal. It depends upon whether or not your property is an ancient stone building or one two years old with the latest insulation. Are the guests young and totally immune to the cold (go into any city at night to see what I mean).
Everyone has a different level of comfort and don’t forget guests have arrived with a suitcase of clothes so may not be able to pull on that thick jumper that they use at home. The most important thing is that there is some way in which guests can alter the heating to suit their needs.
Then you have to consider what type of holiday they are having, restful, energetic activity holiday???
Finally, what do they plan on doing during their holiday........perhaps best not to go there
Ah, how I long for a definitive reply to this question about the normality of guests from EssarIs this the norm?

17c overnight
20c from approx 6am-10am
18c during the day
20/21c from approx 4pm until 11.30pm
Most guests seems to be happy with this but can easily increase/decrease the thermostat should they want to. We also have a woodburner, which most guests use.
When the property is vacant it can drop as low as 11/12c. We're not on mains gas (LPG bottles) so sadly too expensive to leave running any higher!
