Yup, that’s how both our houses in the UK were - boiler came on around 5AM and shut off around 8AM, then came on again about 4PM and shut off around 11PM.
Rental properties and short term holiday lets are always a total pita for heating.
We replaced our manual thermostat with a programmable one years and years ago. However, ours was sat the other way for cooling for most of the year, a little warmer at night, then cooler during the day.
How was the hire car?
The timers on the boilers in the two houses we had were spinning little plastic wheels, and I don’t think I ever quite figured it out.

That first night, I didn’t know which way to turn the radiators to turn them on, as they weren’t marked, and it was the first time I’d ever encountered radiator heating, so I didn’t really know what to expect. Crank it one way…cold. Crank it the other way…still cold. I guess it’s meant to be cold.
The first night in a rented room (first night in the UK), I already was hep to the plug switches, but I didn’t expect it to apply to something like a fridge, so I bought perishable stuff to hold me over the next few days…and lost all that.
Joys of traveling…and we’re in Detroit now. Flight up was so short, no beverage service!
The upgraded seats included free booze, but they’re not obligated to do that for short flights. They made it from Cincy to Detroit in less than 50 minutes. I swear, she’s just finished her seat belt demo and turned right around to tell us we were beginning our descent.
Perhaps they should just serve the drinks and do the safety demo as people leave?
Snap, no central heating here either. I think the last time I lived in a house with central heating was as a teenager living at home and we only lived in that house from 1986 when my sister was born until I went to university in 1991 (5 years).I don't have a heater
