Don't think they have hot water / electricity in deepest, darkest Cornwall.

Electrician time?
Phone up your in-laws' managing agents first.
Depending on which part of deepest darkest, I may know a sparky / plumber / handyman.

It's either a fucked element or a tripped element.
For the latter, there should be a small hole on the outside of the element (pretty small, probably need a matchstick or slimmer) to poke in it, this can reset the trip.If that doesn't work, it's the former.
I've had a plumber replace it previously (whilst on another job with me) prior to that the landlord sorted it out fucked ones.

At risk of asking a silly question - is it an Economy 7 system?
Two elements, one not working during the day, while the other can be switched on manually... -
I would say so, you're mixing water and electricity and clearly you're not fully equipped to test the connections properly. Isn't all like Poldark down there though, surely you just heat some water over the fire for a cat wash.

Help.
I’m in deepest, darkest Cornwall, at my in laws holiday house and the hot water is fucked.
It’s a tank and there doesn’t appear to be power to the bottom element. The booster element has power. The light on the the switched spur for the bottom one does not light. No fuse in the spur. No breakers tripped.
