Hi there and thanks for the post
I have a few ideas that may help.
Firstly have you got her checked out by a vet. Often there is a medical problem that can cause problems like this so i would recommend getting her checked out by your vet.
Secondly have you thought about a dog door. These are great as they let your dog choose when they want to go out and avoid messes. I would recommend getting them professionally installed to avoid draughts in the colder months.
For a while you may need to get up in the night to take her out to the toilet. I know it sounds terrible but if you can start at say 1am for a week then slowly make her last longer and longer eg half an hour every 2 days then you will eventually get to where she can hold on all night.
Another idea is to feed her a bit earlier at night. This will make things come on a bit earlier so she may toilet when you take her out before bed.
AS a last point make sure to use a good deodouriser in the area where she messes. This will help avoid her making a habit of toileting in the same area over and over.
