I have an old cottage which requires a little work. I plan to remove the paint & plaster in the sitting room and replaster with lime. One contractor as quoted for gutex insulation. Do I need this? Does it offer any benefits?

Are you asking does insulation have any benefits over having no insulation???
The answer to that is a resounding YES....
any plans to renovate that you have without insulation is nonsensical.
and its a good sign that your contractor intends to use a breathable insulation such as gutex, and not taking the easy option to spec 'cosy boards'.... by this fact alone he appears to have a good grasp of building science...
