I've been told to stay away from the cheaper ones but that's about all I
know, so can someone recommend a good, reasonably priced, cordless doorbell?

Friedland. They come in various working distance ranges, the further -
the more expensive. Range is open space range and will reduce
drastically with walls in the way. The two (or more) parts have to be
matched with a switch entered code, to avoid next doors push sounding
your chime, though later ones do the matching automatically. Top of the
range is about £35. The chimes can be mains powered with an adaptor.

TLC do the plug in ones for just under £20:
