Three Network is "Throttling us all" [My Opinion]
Hi JJP2
You said "As for mobile broadband, you may experience problems with any network, due to the metal subframe of your lodge, unfortunately."
I don't understand how daytime hours The Lodge frame interferes with my signal but late night early hours of the morning it doesn't. The difference is enormous.
Daytime Speeds [07:30 (ish) and all day long I struggle with around 1 Mbps Overnight 00:10 to 07:30 hrs I can sometimes achieve anything up to 20 Mbps]
Three's coverage map show "very good 4G coverage for calls, text and data both indoors any outdoors". Coverage map attached ...
I have decided to try my mobile Wi-Fi tp-link 4G lte wich I have had for a year or so and have had decent results while on the move - I will connect using a giffgaff SIM [which uses the o2 network] to see if I can achieve better connectivity and service with them as there is an o2 network antenna within about 1 mile of our lodge.

Thanks for your idea regarding a dongle, I am going to try my Mi-Fi first and will certainly try getting away from the lodge to see if it helps by not being near the metal frame. [Good suggestion].
I'll keep you informed of the outcome after trying it for a few weeks.
PS ... Thanks a lot for all your suggestions and ideas, you have been very helpful. 👍
I will post again in once I have set up and tested the Mi-Fi. I won't be back at the lodge for a couple of weeks so don't hold your breath.
Cheers ...
Loathe to say this, but you might have to switch to another network to get 4G speeds :
