Sell the cottage and buy a house with laminate flooring.

We bought ours from Mays World of Carpets, very good quality and came with a 25 year warranty. Quick Step is the brand.
Then we just got quotes from floor layers to lay it at half the cost Mays quoted.
Edit: Nigel Jones Flooring fitted it and apparently got it for us from Mays at trade price: 01793 687 525. He's in Yellow Pages.
When we fitted our hall with the same boards at a later date he sourced it from Birmingham because they'd discontinued the colour. So can recommend.

Fred why not just get laminate in some rooms and keep carpets in others. Have a bit of both.

Actually we've just realised ours has been down for over 10 years and there is barely a scratch on it. So obviously the quality is a good as the brand made out at point of sale.

The quick stepstuff is very good. If your cottage is listed you mmight not be able to do this, but quick step also do matching skirting boards that are hollow and you can run all your cables through - top stuff.
We got ours put down for £100 by a carpenter who drinks in our local. As Si Pie says, not a scratch on it after 12 years.

Its a bit of a distance Fred but try Magic Carpets in Salisbury, i had my lounge and hallway done in solid oak and they did a fantastic job at a very good rate and the after sales is second to none, i thought about laminate but after seeing up against the proper stuff there was no contest
