Whilst it’s still cold working from home, I’ll often use a hot water bottle to keep warm. I’m often curious if it’s better to fill it more or less and whether it makes any difference to the bottle staying warm. In consistent and matching conditions, would it make any difference how much water was put in the bottle, and why?

Yes. You are increasing the mass but not the surface area, so it will retain more energy for a longer period.
