Drying Laundry - any other options?

I'm in Scotland and outside drying is looking less possible. Now there are 4 of us there is a lot of washing and I can't stand it building up. I hung a load on an airer Tuesday morning and rewashed it this morning as it was still wet and had a wet dog odour!

I've had the heating on all day with the washing on an airer next to the radiator and it is still damp. I'm running around moving things onto radiators directly but this takes time and is thwarted if we go out/DD pulls it off/go broke with heating costs/pass out in house sauna.

I've seen the rotary line covers, but I really want an all winter solution and I can't see the washing drying in cold air.

I've read love/hate reviews of Lakeland's heated airer. I like the idea of the washing in one area (small 2 bed), but I'm a bit wary of £75 if it's not great.

Is that it? Any other options? We have a washer dryer, but the dryer has never worked. Maybe being stuck in a cupboard with no external air doesn't help, but it comes out warm and wet so totally useless.

I keep hoping there is another solution.....?????? Or is it radiators or heated airer?

I had an airing cupboard at the last house, but last three houses - inc this 2bed - have all had a boiler-room which dries overnight. Since I first hung laundry in the garage around the boiler, I've made it a priority when house hunting.
