Wintering an Olive Tree

I do not have a greenhouse or conservatory and would like to know
where indoors would be the best place to keep our young olive tree
during the winter/cold weather.
FWIW ours has survived outside for about 8 years. It's c. 5' high, in a
half-barrel next to a southish-facing brick wall not far from Cambridge,
so a little sheltered from frosts. If a *very* hard frost is forecast I
wrap the barrel in bubble wrap and wrap old sheets around the tree
itself, but nothing more.
