Thought that I would update you all on the carpet saga!
A set of carpets from Rimmers, £204.00 plus delivery, Pretty expensive, so I decided on a repair before making the move.
I carefully cut out the hole to the size of the sample. To the rear side of the original carpet I hot glued a piece of cloth fabric, ensuring that it covered the cut out by about an inch all round.
Then, I hot glued in the carpet sample piece. Not exactly perfect, but pretty good.
Judge for yourselves!
