AIBU to be amazed at how far you have to walk in some houses?

Ok right I'm in a holiday cottage and it's taking me a good 60 steps (ok I wrote this as a guess originally , it's actually 33 but the point still stands!) between the living room and kitchen. The bedroom feels miles away. How do you manage when you live in a massive house? I only have to walk 1 step between my living room and kitchen and I don't have any corridors in my house (just a small landing). I'd find it boring walking around just to get to the kitchen /living room/ bedroom/ toilet.

AIBU to think there's just too much walking involved with some houses and it makes them boring and tiresome?

Sadly I don't have this problem, the furthest point (bungalow) is about 20 steps

Are you still walking @MyOtherCarisAVauxhallZafira?

I have 12 steps to the basement…

Other than that what really bugs me about my house is that if I’m sitting on my porch and I hear my phone ring from my office. I can see the phone from the porch window but have to walk allllll the way around my house to get to my office. That’s tiresome.

You've inspired me to leave the living room and walk to the kitchen, counting the steps...
